APRICOTS 
One of the least known and least grown fruits, although it is very 
delicious and popular. In addition, it ripens from one to two months 
before the best early Peach. Apricots should be planted in a northern 
or exposed situation, which will correct their chief fault, that of 
blossoming so early as to be caught by frost. 
By careful management the Apricot may be expected to be as pro¬ 
ductive as the Peach and is well worth cultivating. We list only the 
best varieties. 
ALEXANDER. An immense bearer. Fruit orange-yellow, oblong, 
flecked with red; sweet, juicy, very beautiful. Season, July. 
MOORPARK. One of the largest and most productive. A leading 
and very popular variety. Yellow, with red cheek, juicy, sweet 
and rich, free-stone. 
ROYAL. Large. Pale orange with faintly tinged red cheek. Highly 
flavored, slightly sub-acid and good quality. Good market varie¬ 
ty. Ripens about August 10th. 
QUINCES 
The quince is of late attracting a great deal of attention as a mar¬ 
ket fruit. It is hardy and compact in growth and requires but little 
space. It is productive if handled properly and gives regular crops, 
coming into bearing in about two or three years and continues pro¬ 
ductive, if well managed, for forty years or more. The fruit is much 
sought after for canning, preserving and for jellies. It gives a deli¬ 
cious flavor to the apple, cooking in any manner. They should be 
planted ten or twelve feet apart on deep, rich soil. 
CHAMPION. A prolific and constant bearer; fruit averaging larger 
than the Orange, more oval in shape, quality equally fine; bears 
extremely young, producing fine fruit on two-year trees in nursery 
row; can be kept in good condition until January. Tree a vigor¬ 
ous grower and prolific bearer; one of the best for sections not 
subject to early frosts. 
ORANGE. Large, roundish; bright golden yellow; cooks tender 
and is of very excellent flavor. Valuable for preserves or flavoring; 
very productive; the most popular and extensively cultivated of 
the old varieties. October. 
GREENING’S SMALL FRUITS 
CRAPES 
No fruit possesses such a remarkable heritage of popularity as the 
grape. It is mentioned in nearly all ancient writings, including the 
Bible. Grapes are to be found in every temperate climate. The 
earliest settlers of the United States discovered several different varie¬ 
ties growing from Maine to Florida. Grapes have been constantly 
improved during the years, and are not only a favorite with the 
commercial grower but possess many advantages for the home gar¬ 
den, as they require but a small amount of space and can be trained 
over a back fence or trellis. 
BLACK CRAPES 
CAMPBELL’S EARLY. Suitable for a trellis as it is a hardy and 
vigorous grower, with heavy foliage and is very healthy. Ripens 
early and bears abundantly. The quality of fruit is excellent. 
Matures at intervals between the middle and last of August. A 
good shipper. Fruit large of black color, covered with beautiful 
blue bloom. Sweet and juicy. Seeds small and few in number. 
CONCORD. The best known and most popular of all Grapes. The 
best for table, wine and market. Succeeds over a great extent of 
country. Ripens in September. 
FREDONIA. This variety gives promise of being the earliest good 
black grape. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and productive, and 
ripens its fruit two weeks earlier than Worden. The clusters are 
medium in size, cylindrical and compact; the berries are large, 
round, and persistent; the skin is thick and tough; the flesh is 
juicy, solid but tender; and the quality very good. Fredonia 
stands alone as an early black grape. 
MOORE’S EARLY. Bunch medium; berry round and as large as 
the Wilder or Rodgers No. 4. Quality very fine and vine exceed¬ 
ingly hardy. It has been entirely exempt from mildew or disease; 
in vigor of growth it is medium. Its earliness makes it desirable 
for a first crop, maturing as it does, ten days before the Hartford 
and twenty days before the Concord. 
WORDEN. A seedling from the Concord, which it greatly re¬ 
sembles in color and appearance. It is, however, several days 
earlier, much more delicious and melting and has a flavor that is 
equaled by no other grape grown. Berries and clusters are very 
large and compact; fully as hardy as the Concord and more pro¬ 
ductive. A sure bearer and a variable market sort. 
WHITE CRAPES 
GREEN MOUNTAIN. Color greenish white, skin very thin, pulp 
exceedingly tender and sweet; contains but one or two seeds 
which separate from the pulp with light pressure; quality superb. 
Ripens with Moore. 
NIAGARA. This white Grape is justly regarded as one of the very 
best known; very fine quality for a table grape; very prolific, 
hardy, and of fine flavor. Fruit keeps well if carefully handled. 
PORTLAND. This variety holds first place among grapes as an 
early green variety for the market. The vine is very vigorous, 
hardy, productive and healthy. The variety is remarkable for its 
luxuriant and persistent foliage. Bunches and berries are larger 
than those of any other early green grape. 
RED CRAPES 
BRIGHTON. A cross between Concord and Diana Hamburg. Re¬ 
sembles Catawba in color, size and form of bunch and berry. 
Flesh rich, sweet and of the best quality. Ripens earlier than the 
Delaware. Vine vigorous and hardy. This variety has now been 
thoroughly tested and it may be truly said to be without an equal 
among early grapes. Succeeds best when planted near other varie¬ 
ties of grapes. 
CACO. This is a hybrid produced from cross pollinization of 
Catawba and Concord. It inherits the characteristics of both 
parents, minus any of their defects. Very hardy yet it equals in 
high quality and melting texture, the finest variety grown under 
glass. Very large, wine-red with abundant bloom. Bunch good 
size, compact and of good form. Ripens in advance of Concord. 
Vine strong, vigorous, healthy and prolific. 
DELAWARE. Still holds its own as one of the finest Grapes. 
Bunches small, compact, shouldered; berries rather small, round; 
skin thin, light red; flesh very juicy without any hard pulp. Has 
an exceedingly sweet, spicy and delicious flavor. Vine moderately 
vigorous. Hardy and productive. Ripens right after Brighton.

BLACK RASPBERRIES 
CUMBERLAND. A mammoth midseason blackcap that holds its 
stout, stocky canes with handsome fruit. Its great, glossy berries 
are firm enough to ship well and of good quality. Its hardiness 
and productiveness among the best. 
GREGG. Of good size, fine quality; very productive. Fairly hardy. 
Well known everywhere. 
KANSAS. Plant is a strong grower; fruit jet black, as large or 
larger than Gregg. A splendid yielder and hardy. Ripens before 
Gregg. 
PLUM FARMER. It ripens its crop in a few days and is early 
enough to get the good prices. Perfectly hardy; is a good grower 
and productive. The berry is large and of good quality. 
RED AND PURPLE RASPBERRIES 
CHIEF. This variety is an offspring of the famous Latham rasp¬ 
berry. This is the new early ripening red raspberry of the Latham 
type that has astonished expert horticulturists in every section of
