F. A. GUERNSEY &'CO. 
Small Fruits 
Fredonia 
AGAWAM. One of the most reliable Roger’s Hy¬ 
brids. Purplish red, of striking appearance, and large 
berry. Sweet and with rich aromatic flavor. Ripens 
soon after Concord—a good keeper. Vine self- 
fertile, vigorous and productive,- subject to mildew. 
BRIGHTON. A popular red York State commercial 
variety, ripening before Concord. A sure crop, high 
quality, handsome grape, on a wide variety of soils. 
Not a good keeper. Berry medium too large with 
heavy bloom. Must be interplanted, being self-sterile. 
CACO. A new red grape of extremely large size. 
Vigorous and hardy, ripens early in September. Very 
high quality and highly recommended. 
CAMPBELL EARLY. A strikingly handsome, large 
black August grape with blue bloom. Tough skin 
and good shipper, coloring up ten days before 
ripening, and will hang six weeks on the vine. 
Bunches large and compact, often double-should¬ 
ered. Must be pruned closely. Inclined to overbear. 
CATAWBA. A well-known, late-ripening, chocolate- 
colored grape of a rich musky flavor. When well 
grown will keep indefinitely, but demands high 
culture, a warm situation and long season to mature 
perfectly. Bunch and berry both large to very large. 
Quality the very best. 
CONCORD. Still the most popular grape in America, 
and grown with success in every state in the Union. 
It will adapt itself to almost any condition. Bunch and 
berry large, fair quality with rich blooms. Vine 
healthy, hardy and productive, and self-fertile. 
DELAWARE. An early September red grape that has 
remained the standard of excellence for generations, 
no raisin more sweet. No fruit of any class more juicy, 
one that always commands the highest market prices. 
Vine very hardy and productive, but a slow grower, 
requiring rich soil, good culture, and close pruning. 
FREDONIA. Stands alone as the earliest good black 
grape. Vigorous, hardy and productive. Fruit ripens 
two weeks earlier than Worden. Clusters medium in 
size, cylindrical, and compact. Berries large, round 
and persistent,- skin thick and tough; flesh juicy, solid 
but tender/ very good quality. 
MOORE’S EARLY. Large, purple black grape ripen¬ 
ing before Concord. Sweet and of good quality. 
Vine very hardy. 
GRAPES 
NIAGARA. Undoubtedly the most popular white 
grape. A typical commercial fruit, enormously pro¬ 
ductive, and of fair quality, ripening with Concord. 
Flesh a little tender for shipping and keeping. Berries 
large. Vine a rampant grower. 
PORTLAND. A new white grape developed in the 
Chautauqua grape region. Beautiful greenish yellow 
like Niagara. Very hardy and productive. Very sweet. 
Ripens early and can be eaten before it is fully ripe. 
SENECA. Almost a pure vinifera, ripening with On¬ 
tario. The bunches are of medium size, tapering, 
compact,- berries oval and yellow. The texture is firm, 
melting and tender, while the flavor is sweet, vinous, 
and aromatic. The skin can be eaten with the berry. 
Vigorous, healthy, productive and hardy. Highly 
recommended for dessert. 
SHERIDAN. A new variety to rival Concord. Season 
a week longer, larger more compact bunches. Keeps 
and ships well. 
WORDEN. Best known offspring of the Concord. One 
week earlier and superior to it in quality, size of 
berry, and compact, handsome clusters. Tender skin, 
however, and inclined to crack. Must be carefully 
handled in shipping. Vine hardy and vigorous. 
RASPBERRIES, BLACKCAPS, ETC. 
COLUMBIAN. Of distinctive color and character. 
Enormously productive and vigorous. For canning and 
drying. Berries large and juicy, of a dull purple color. 
CUMBERLAND. The largest and best mid-season 
blackcap. Healthy, vigorous, productive of firm, large 
berries, fine in quality. One of the hardiest varieties 
and wonderfully productive under high culture. 
ELDORADO. Said to be the hardiest and sweetest 
blackberry, withstanding the winters in the far North¬ 
west perfectly. Berries large to very large, borne in 
clusters that ripen well together, exceedingly melting 
and sweet to the taste. 
LATHAM. A recently introduced variety, very hardy 
and productive with large, round, firm berries of a 
rich brilliant red in late June and July. 
LUCRETIA DEWBERRY. The standard dewberry, 
ripening before the blackberry. Enormous in size and 
very sweet and tender. The best of the blackberry 
family—and under high culture, the most productive. 
NEWBURGH. Most promising variety in the New 
York Experiment Station collection. Bright attractive 
red fruit is large, very firm and has no superior in 
keeping and shipping qualities. Plants vigorous, hardy 
and so productive that canes are often bent to the 
ground with fruit. Fruit easily picked. Free from 
Mosaic. Several days earlier than Cuthbert. The best 
raspberry under cultivation. 
PLUM FARMER. A remarkably popular blackcap, said 
to be the earliest market variety. Quality very good, 
large size and the entire crop maturing at once. Not 
always entirely hardy in the North. 
SODUS. Originated from the cross between the 
Dundee black raspberry and the Newburgh red rasp¬ 
berry. The berries are very large, firm, medium 
purple in color, sprightly and good in quality. The 
plants are very vigorous, very productive and hardy. 
Sodus is more resistant to drought than Columbian 
and yields a good crop every year. It ripens shortly 
after Latham. 
TAYLOR. New Red Raspberry ripens just before 
Latham. Berries are large, long, bright red. Excellent 
quality.
