ELLWANGER & BARRY'S 
Lady—Bunch medium; berry medium to large; skin thin; color light greenish yellow, with white bloom; 
pulp tender, sweet, and pleasant, without much character. Vine hardy and vigorous. A valuable 
early white grape. 
Martha—Bunch medium, moderately compact, shouldered ; berry medium, roundish ; flesh somewhat pulpy; 
a little foxy, but good; ripens earlier than Concord. Vine hardy and vigorous. 
Moore’s Diamond—A pure native, bunch large, compact; berry medium size; color greenish white with a 
yellow tinge when fully ripe; flesh juicy and almost without pulp; quality very good. Vine vig¬ 
orous and productive. 
Niagara—Bunch medium to large, compact, occasionally shouldered; berry large, roundish, uniform; skin 
thin but tough, pale green at first, changing to pale yellow when fully ripe, with a thin whitish bloom; 
flesh slightly pulpy, tender, sweet, not quite equal to the Concord. Before it is fully matured it has a 
very foxy odor, which disappears, to a great extent, later. Vine remarkably vigorous, healthy, and 
productive; foliage thick and leathery. Ripens with the Concord. All things considered, probably 
the most valuable white grape in cultivation. 
Pocklington—A seedling of the Concord. Bunch medium to large, generally shouldered; berry large, 
roundish, light golden yellow when fully mature; flesh pulpy, juicy, of fair quality; vine very hardy, 
healthy, vigorous and productive; leaves large, tough, and downy; ripens after the Concord. It 
requires favorable seasons, and good locations to ripen it satisfactorily in this region. 
Rebecca — A fine and delicious grape ; berry and bunch medium size; vine a moderate, slender grower, but 
an abundant bearer; quite hardy; ripens almost as soon as the Delaware. We regard it as the highest 
flavored of our native grapes; recommended particularly for careful garden culture. It does well 
grafted on a strong growing sort. 50c. 
Winchell — The earliest white grape ( identical with Green Mountain). This white grape has been thoroughly 
tested for several years in our vineyard, and it has proved so satisfactory in all respects that we can 
recommend it with the utmost confidence to our customers. It combines hardiness, fruitfulness, vigor, 
good size, and excellent quality. Though not the largest, yet both berry and cluster are of good size, 
and the flavor is excellent, ranking in this respect as a grape of the first class. In time of ripening it 
may be described as very early, being the first white grape to ripen, and maturing about the same 
time as Champion, or about a week earlier than the Hartford. This qualification insures its ripening 
even in the worst of seasons, a consideration which will be appreciated by all planters. Its habit of 
growth is vigorous and the foliage clean and healthy, while its bearing quality is all that can be 
desired. It can be said to be a most valuable white grape, either for the amateur or professional 
grower. 50c.
