Those Wonderful New GRAPES 
FREDONIA. All indications are that this is the 
earliest good black grape. Vigorous, hardy, pro' 
ductive, and ripens 3 weeks earlier than the Con- 
cord. Clusters of medium size, cylindrical, compact; berries large, 
round and cling to the bunch. Quality very good. 
ONTARIO. The earliest good green grape. Firm, juicy, tender, sweet 
and refreshing. Quality very good to best. The grapes hang on the 
vine long after ripening. 
PORTLAND. Holds first place among grapes as an early green grape 
for market. Bunches and berries are larger than those of any other 
early green grape, and in quality is better than any but Ontario. 
SHERIDAN. Vigorous, healthy, hardy, 
very productive. Blooms with Concord 
and ripens right after it. Bunch and 
berries large, round, black, covered with 
a thick bloom; flesh firm, juicy, and 
sweet. Quality good to very good. 
Iron Clad Grapes 
BETA 8C ALPHA. These two grapes are 
a new race, hybrids between the wild Fredonia 
Minnesota Grape and the Concord. 
They carry the wonderful productiveness and good all around general qualities of the 
Concord and the added extreme hardiness of their wild parent. They can be grown 
where all other grapes fail, stand our Minnesota winters without any covering and 
bear immense crops of fruit. When fully ripe, of good quality. Great to grow over 
arbors. Extra fine for jelly, jam, and home made wine. Strong, 2-yr. No. 1. Each, 30c; 
5 Beta and 5 Alpha, #2.25, prepaid. 
The New Rhubarbs 
McDonald, a new and select strain of Rhubarb or Pieplant developed and sent out from 
the Experimental Station of the Dominion of Canada. McDonald is unusually high for 
a Rhubarb in sugar content which causes a great saving in sugar in its cooking. It is also an 
unusually fine flavored Rhubarb which makes it very desirable. McDonald does not go to 
seed which makes it possible to use over a long period of time, as with the ordinary Rhu' 
barb as soon as it starts to send up seed stalks its cooking season is over. Makes a fine pink 
sauce of finest flavor. Strong Roots 75c each; 6 for #4.20, postpaid. 
RUBY. Another fine Rhubarb from the Canadian Station. Ruby like McDonald is very 
high in sugar content, does not go to seed and is of exceptionally fine flavor but differs 
from that variety in color. McDonald is a green stemmed sort with a good deal of red 
veining running through it while Ruby is a deep rich ruby red, the reddest of all 
Rhubarb. It makes a deep rich red sauce which is very beautiful and tasty. 
Strong Roots 75c each; 6 for #4.20, postpaid. 
of the New York Experimental 
All 2-year No. 1, 60c each; 10 for #5.00 
We have been fortunate in securing for our friends 
a stock of the very finest varieties of these new and most 
desirable grapes. 
We are offering only the very highest grade of vines 
in the sizes quoted, absolutely true-to name. 
BROCKTON. Flesh melting, separates readily 
from seeds, is sweet, richly and delicately flavored; 
bunches large. This is one of the Station’s best 
new Green Grapes. Season about September 1st. 
CACO. This is not one of the New York Grapes, 
but is so fine a new grape that we list it here. 
A good producer, a splendid appearing bunch 
and berry and of most exquisite quality. In color 
a rich wine-red over amber.
