ELLWANGER & BARRY'S 
WHITE GRAPES. 
Duchess— Bunch medium to large, long, shouldered, compact; berries medium, roundish; skin thick, generally 
dotted with small black spots about the size of a pin’s head ; color light green at first, becoming greenish yellow 
when ripe, fruit almost transparent; liesh tender without pulp, Juicy, sweet, crisp, rich, and in quality ranks 
as best. Vine vigorous and productive here. The foliage is said to mildew in some localities. Ripens early, 
before the Concord. 25c. 
Lady Said to be a seedling of the Concord. Bunch medium ; berry medium to large; skin thin; color light green, 
ish yellow, with white bloom ; pul;) tender, sweet and pleasant without much character. Vine hardy and vig. 
orous. A valuable early white grape. 25c. 
Martlia— Bunch medium, moderately compact, shouldered ; berry medium, roundish ; flesh somewhat pulpy; a little 
foxy, but good ; ripens earlier than Concord. Vine hardy and vigorous. 20c. 
Moore’s Diamond— Originated bv Jacob Moore. 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 vigorous and productive. Very'promising. 50c. 
Niagara— Said to be a cross of Concord and Cassady. 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. 25c. 
Focklington—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 will require favorable seasons, 
and good locations to ripen it satisfactorily in this region. 25c. 
Rebecca—A fine and delicious grape ; berry and bunch medium size; vine a moderate, slender grower but an abund¬ 
ant 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 grow¬ 
ing sort. 25c. 
Winchell—A new white grape, very’ valuable on account of its tine quality and earliness, and the vigor, hardiness 
and productiveness of the vine. In our large collection, it is the first white grape to ripen, and we conclude 
after several season’s trial, that it is a variety of great merit. This and Green Mountain have proved to be 
Identical. (See cut.) 1 yr., 75c. 2 yrs., § 1.00 each.

NEW GRAPES AND OTHERS NOT FULLY TESTED HERE. 
Colerain (New)—Originated by 1). Bundy, at Coleraln, Ohio. “ Color a light green, with delicate whitish bloom; size 
medium; ripens early, and hangs well on the bunch; a good grower and abundant bearer; skin thin and tender; 
flesh juicy and remarkably sweet.” 1 year, S1.00. 2 years, $1.50. 
Eaton— Bunch large, compact. Berries very large, round, black, covered with a thick blue bloom. In general 
appearance of the bunch and berry it strongly resembles Moore’s Early. Skin thick; very juicy with some 
pulp. A large, showy grape. $1.00 each. 
Golden Drop—A native raised by Pringle. Resembles Delaware in bunch and berry; color yellowish white 
with a tinge of red in the sun; flesh tender. Juicy, rich, delicate, without the slightest foxincss; vine a good 
grower and bearer. Ripens with Delaware. Promising as an amateur grape. 50c. 
Jefferson— Bunch medium, shouldered, compact ; berry medium to large; skin thick, light red, covered with bloom ; 
flesh meaty, tender, sprightly, rich, fine quality. Vine vigorous, healthy. Resembles Iona. One of the most 
promising of the newer grapes, but we fear it is too late for this locality, as it seems to ripen only in very 
favorable seasons. Farther south it will be valuable. 25c. 
Woodruff Red— A large and handsome red grape of medium quality. Vigorous, hardy and prolific. Esteemed for 
market in some localities. 50c.
