NEW VARIETIES. 
NIAGARA (White).—“ The white grape for the. million." From what we have 
seen of it we believe it will be among white grapes what the Concord has been among 
black, the most reliable of all. Vine a vigorous grower; healthy, hardy, and very pro¬ 
ductive ; leaves large, thick, and downy; bunch, large, compact, sometimes shouldered ; 
berries large, round, light greenish white; flesh tender, with little pulp; quality as 
good or better than Concord; ripens a few days earlier. One year, 75 cents; two 
year, $1 each. 
THE POUGHKEEPSIE RED (Red).—“ A cross of Delaware and Iona, vine 
resembling Delaware in wood and foliage, but a much better grower; will succeed 
where the Delaware will not. Clusters average from size of Delaware to twice as 
large ; and in excellence of fruit is the first one ever introduced in America that can 
be called perfect. By perfect we mean nothing that is objectionable in it to eat, in 
skin or flesh; much better in quality than Delaware.” Strong 2 year vines, $2 each ; 
1 year,$1.25. 
THE ULSTER PROLIFIC (Red) — “A cross of the Catawba (which it resembles 
in size and color of berry and shape of cluster) and a wild grape of the forest. It 
contains no fox, but the wild taste can be slightly distinguished. It has been pro¬ 
nounced by all growers and our best horticulturists and publishers, in hardness, bear¬ 
ing qualities, and in flavor, the ‘best, grape Cayw’ood ever produced.’ It ripens here 
from the first to the middle of September, and is as hardy as the wildest vine of the 
woods.” Strong 2 year vines, $2 each; 1 year, $1.25. 
EMPIRE STATE.—‘‘The Empire State is a seedling of the Hartford Prolific, 
fertilized with the Clinton ; ripening with Hartford Prolific and Moore’s Early. Nearly 
all of the bunches shouldered, and the finest shade of white ever seen in fruit. A 
good grower and fruiter in every respect. Bunches large, from six to ten inches long, 
shouldered; berry medium to large, roundish oval, color white, with very light tinge 
of yellow, covered with a thick, white bloom; leaf thick, smooth underside; flesh 
tender, juicy, rich, sweet, and sprightly, with a slight trace of native aroma, continu¬ 
ing a long time in use; vine very hardy. Its great productiveness, beautiful color, fine 
quality, extreme hardiness and vigor, and healthfulness of wine and foliage, size and 
compactness of cluster, and good shipping qualities, make it the best grape, all things 
considered, yet produced.” One year vines, 75 cents each ; two year, $1.

JEFFERSON (late Red of extra quality), VERGENNES (Red, keeps till March)!
