GRAPES.
There is scarcely a yard so small, either in country or city, that room for one to a dozen or more grape vines cannot be found. They do admirably trained up by the side of any building, or along the garden fences, occupying but little room furnishing an abundance of the healthiest of fruits. Make the soil mellow, and plant the vines somewhat deeper than they stood in the nursery. They are a most satisfactory fruit, and can be as easily grown as potatoes. All kinds listed are perfectly hardy, but the Agawam should have some winter protection. If to be mailed add 15c for 10, 50c per hundred.
COTTAGE—Undoubtedly the best variety for family use. Seed colored illustration and description on cover of catalogue. Strong 2-year old roots, 25c, each, $2.00 per 10.
Moore’s Early—The finest and most profitable of all black varieties. Vine is even more hardy than its parent, Concord, while it ripens fully two weeks earlier, thus obtaining the advantage of larger price, ruling at the time, and being more sure to ripen its entire crop in a short season. Fruit is well shown in our illustration, the berry being much larger than Concord and quality almost identical. Claimed by some to be exempt from mildew or disease. Each, 25c; per 10, $2.00; per 100, $15.00.
Concord—So popular that it needs no description. Each, 15c; per 10, $1.00; per 100, $4.00. Same two years old, each, 25c; per 10, $1.50; per 100, $5.00.
Worden—In brief, an improved Concord, both bunch and berry being larger, handsomer, earlier and better quality. Our stock is true; strong 2-year-roots, each, 20c; per 10, $1.50; per 100, $10.00.
Niagara—Bunch medium to large; berry large; skin thin but tough; slightly pulpy, tender, sweet. Vine vigorous, healthy and very productive. Ripens with Concord. All things considered probably the most valuable white grape in cultivation. Strong 1 or 2 year roots, each, 25c, per 10, $2,00; per 100, $15.00.
Golden Pocklington—A seedling from Concord. The vine is thoroughly hardy; strong grower, never mildews in vine or foliage. Called a white grape, but the fruit is a light golden yellow, clear, juicy and sweet to the center, with little or no pulp; bunches very large; sometimes shouldered; berries round and very large and thickly set; quality when fully ripe much superior to Concord. Strong 2 year roots, 25c; per 10, $2.00; per 100, $15.00.
Agawam—A fine, large, red berry, and cluster of good size. Quality excellent, decidedly aromatic flavor, very vigorous grower and productive. Each, 25c; per 10, $2.00; per 100, $15.00.
Lady—A white grape, seedling of Concord, possessing all the vigor of the parent vine. Early, good flavor. Each, 25c; per 10, $2.00; per 100, $15.00.
Perkins—A most excellent, delicious, hardy red variety, sure to please all. Each, 25c; per 10, $2.00; per 100, $15.00.
Special, one vine each of above nine grapes, $1.25
BLACKBERRIES.

Erie—The best of all the blackberries, and it is now superceding [superseding] all other kinds. The canes are of ironclad hardiness, of the strongest growth. quite free from rust and all other diseases, and wonderfully productive, bending the robust canes to the ground with the weight of fruit. The berry is of the very largest size, excellent quality, handsome and firm. Shape is well shown by our illustration. It is the berry for both market and home. Per 10, $1.50; per 100, $5.00.
Snyder—More grown than any other in this latitude because of its extreme hardiness. Medium size, per 10, $1.00; per 100, $2.80.
Stone’s Hardy—Upright, vigorous grower. Berries are a glossy black and of delicious flavor, later than Snyder. Per 10, $1.00; per 100, $3.25.
DEWBERRIES.
Larger, sweeter, and by some considered superior to the blackberry. If by mail add 15c per 10, 60c per 100.
Lucretia—Decidedly the best of all the dewberries. It is a superb fruit, large, handsome, shining jet black, melting and delicious quality. Earlier than the blackberries. Each, 15c; per 10, $1.00; per 100, $8.00.
