Lady Washington. — This showy and beautiful 
white grape was originated by Mr. Jas. Ricketts of 
Newburgh, N. Y., who says he is confident it will vie 
with the Concord as to health, vigor, growth and pro¬ 
ductiveness. Bunch and berry very large ; color yellow¬ 
ish white, with a tinge of delicate pink where exposed 
to the sun ; covered with a thin, white bloom ; flesh soft, 
tender, juicy, sweet an 1 good; ripens before the Con¬ 
cord, and is one of the most delicious white grapes it 
has ever been our pleasure to taste. $2.00 each. 
Worden. — A splendid, large, black grape of the Con¬ 
cord type, but earlier; larger in bunch and berry, and 
of decidedly better quality ; vine hardier than that old 
standby, the Concord, and every way as healthy. 50 cts 
Prentiss.—A new, hardy, white grape; bunch large, 
not often shouldered, compact. Berry medium to large, 
yellowish green, sometimes with a rosy tint oa side next 
to sun ; skin thin but very firm ; flesh tender, sweet, 
melting, juicy, with a very pleasant and musky aroma ; 
free from foxiness ; little, if any, pulp ; seeds few and 
small; foliage healthy and thick; vine a good grower 
and very productive, inclined to overbear, and clusters 
should be thinned unless pruned close ; vines hardy, 
and buds uninjured with thermometer 15 0 to 20° below 
zero. The grape is an excellent keeper, and was exhib¬ 
ited before the Western New York Hojticultural Society, 
at Rochester, January 22,1879, in perfect condition. Rip¬ 
ens with Com ord. The fruit has sold in New York
