PREFACE TO 28th EDITION.

—___—-— - + o<> - ———

THE changes in this edition are few and unimportant. A few varieties have been
added to the select list, and a few have been dropped altogether. The work of testing
new varieties is continued in our extensive experimental grounds, under our own super-
vision, and this enables us to sift the really valuable from the inferior or worthless sorts.
The Russian Apples, of which so much has been said and so much expected, have been
tested in large numbers for several years, but they have proved generally so much in-
ferior to our best American sorts that we have propagated for sale only three or four of
the best. It is possible, however, that they may be of value in some sections where hard-
iness is the most important quality. The collection of native Grapes will be found very
complete, numbering upwards of fifty varieties, old and new. Those that have not been
sufficiently tested are placed in a separate section. The descriptions of these are such as
we have received with them, and must be taken for what they are worth. We believe
that some of them, perhans many, will prove valuable.

In compliance with the wish expressed by the American Pomological Society we
have, as will be seen, followed the revised nomenclature adopted by that Society, and we
think all American Nurseryman should do the same, and thus secure uniformity and
promote a much needed reform.

As heretofore, no pains will be spared to maintain the character for accuracy,
promptness and fair dealing which this establishment has earned during the past forty-
eight years.

Orders, however small, will receive prompt and careful attention.

Our shipping facilities are unsurpassed, and packing is done in the best manner.

Great inducements are offered to Nurserymen and Dealers, to whom we are prepared
to give the most liberal and accommodating terms. (See Wholesale Catalogue, issued
semi-annually—Spring and Fall.)

We embrace in this Catalogue the Small Fruits, except Strawberries. The Straw-
berry Catalogue will be issued separately, for the reason that it is necessary to publish it
annually. The Ornamental Department forms separate Catalogues. See page 4.

The attention of correspondents is requested to the notice on the following page.

ADVICE TO CORRESPONDENTS.

[Please read before making out order. ]

CORRESPONDENTS will greatly oblige by observing, as far as possible, the following
regulations :

1st. All orders should be sent in as early as possible to insure prompt attention, as
it is our rule to execute them in the order in which they come to hand.; hence we cannot,
except for extraordinary reasons, delay orders, received first, for those coming late in the
season and requiring attention at once.

2d. All orders should be legibly written out on the order sheet herein enclosed ;
this will save us much trouble, and at the same time prevent mistakes.

3d. In ordering fruit trees, it should in all cases be stated whether standard trees
are wanted for orchards, or dwarfs for gardens.
4th. Where particular varieties are ordered, and particular ages and sizes of trees,
kinds of stock, etc., it should be stated whether, and to what extent, other varieties, sizes,
ages, etc., may be substituted, in case the order cannot be filled to the letter, as happens
occasionally in all establishments. Our rule is not to substitute in any case without being
expressly requested to do so.
5th. All treesand plants are carefully labeled and packed in the best manner for
any part of the United States, Canada or Europe, for which a moderate charge is made,
but no charge is made for the delivery of packages at the railroad.
6th. It ts requested that explicit directions for marking and shipping packages accom-
pany. each order. When it is left to us to choose the mode of conveyance we will exercise
our best judgment. We pack in such a manner that fruit trees and small fruits, except-
ing strawberries, go safely as freight. In all cases the articles are at the risk of the
purchaser after being shipped, and if delay or loss occurs, the forwarder alone must be-
held responsible.
7th. For shipment abroad we pack in the best manner, in close boxes. Our con-
signments to all parts of the world have generally been received in good condition, and
parties who favor us with their orders, may rely upon the same having careful attention.
Shipments of this kind can usually be made to the best advantage in the months of
October and November.
Sth. All orders from unknown correspondents must be accompanied with @ draft
on some of the princtpal cities, or post-office order for the amount.
9th. Our customers are requested to notify us instantly of any errors that may be
committed in filling their orders, so that we may at once make ample amends, as we
desire to conduct our business in all respects satisfactorily to those who favor us with
their confidence.
Descriptive and Illustrated priced Catalogues will be sent free to customers on appli-
cation ; to others, on receipt of postage stamps, as follows :
No. 1.—A Descriptive Priced Catalogue of Fruits, embracing small Fruits, except
Strawberries, 10c. Q
No. 2.—A Descriptive and [lustrated Priced Catalogue of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs,
Hardy Flowering Plants, etc., 1c.
No. 3.—A Descriptive Catalogue of Strawberries, issued annually about August Ist,
free:
No. 4.—A Wholesale Catalogue or List for the trade, free.
No. 5.—A Descriptive priced Catalogue of Roses, free.

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, &c.

—_+ 0 > __

WE cannot attempt to give complete directions on all points connected with Tree
Planting, but simply a few hints on the more important operations. Every man who
purchases a bill of trees should put himself in possession of ‘‘ THe FRurr GARDEN,” or
some other treatise on tree culture, that will furnish him with full and reliable instruc-
tions on the routine of management. Transplanting is to be considered under the
following heads :

1st. THE PREPARATION OF THE SOIL.—For fruit trees the soil should be
dry, either natural or made so by thorough drainage, as they will not live or thrive on a
soil constantly saturated with stagnant moisture. It should also be well prepared by
twice plowing, at least, beforehand, using the subsoil plow after the common one at the
second plowing. On new, fresh lands manuring will be unnecessary ; but on lands ex-
hausted by cropping, fertilizers must be applied, either by turning in heavy crops of
clover, or well decomposed manure or compost. To ensure a good growth of fruit trees,
land should be in as good condition as for a crop of wheat, corn or potatoes.

24. THE PREPARATION OF THE ‘TREES.—In regard to this important
operation, there are more fatal errors committed than in any other. As a general thing,
trees are planted in the ground precisely as they are sent from the Nursery. In removing
a tree, no matter how carefully it may be done, a portion of the roots are broken and
destroyed, and consequently the balance that existed in the structure of the tree is de-
ranged. This must be restored by a proper pruning, adapted to the size, form and con-
dition of the tree, as follows :

STANDARD ORCHARD TREES.—These, as sent from the Nursery, vary from five to
seven feet in height, with naked stems or trunks, and a number of branches at the top
forming a head. These branches should be all cut back to within three or four buds of
their base. This lessens the demand upon the roots, and enables the remaining buds to
push with vigor. Cut off smoothly all bruised or broken roots up to the: sound wood.
In case of older trees of extra size, the pruning must be in proportion ; as a general thing
it will be safe to shorten all the previous years’ shoots to three or four buds at their base,
and where the branches are very numerous some may be cut out entirely.

DWARF OR PYRAMIDAL TREES, ON THE QUINCE Stock, if of two or three years’
growth, with a number of side branches, will require to be pruned with a two-fold object
in view, viz: The growth of the tree and the desired form. The branches must be cut
into the form of a pyramid by shortening the lower ones, say one-half, those above them
shorter, and the upper ones around the leading shoots to within two or three buds of their
base. The leader itself must be shortened back one-half or more. When trees have been
dried or injured much by exposure, the pruning must be closer than if in good order.

YEARLING TREES UPON QUINCE Stock INTENDED FoR PyRAMIDs.—Some of these
may have a few side branches, the smallest of which should be cut clean away, reserving
only the strongest and the best placed. In other respects they should be pruned as
directed for trees of two years’ growth. Those having no_ side branches should be cut
back so far as to insure the production of a tier of branches within twelve inches of the
ground. A strong yearling, four to six feet, may be cut back about half, and the weaker
ones more than that. It is better to cut too low than not low enough, for if the first tier
of branches be not low enough the pyramidal form cannot afterwards be perfected.

6 ELLWANGER & BARRY’S

3d. PLANTING.—Dig holes in the first place large enough to admit the roots of
the tree to spread out in their natural position ; then, having the tree pruned as above
directed, let one person hold it in an upright position, and the other shovel in the earth,
carefully putting the finest and the best from the surface in among the roots, filling every
interstice, and bringing every root in contact with the soil. When the earth is nearly
filled in, a pail of water may be thrown on to settle and wash in the earth around the
roots ; then fill in the remainder and tread gently with the foot. The use of water is
seldom necessary, except in dry weather early in fall or late in spring. Guard against
planting too deep ,; the trees, after the ground settles, should stand in,this respect as they
did in the nursery. Trees on dwarf stock should stand so that all the stock be under the
ground, and no more. In very dry, gravelly ground the holes should be dug twice the
usual size and depth, and filled in with good loamy soil.

4th. STAKING.—If trees are talland much exposed to winds, a stake should be
planted with the tree, to which it should be tied in such a manner as to avoid chafing.
A piece of matting or cloth may be put between the tree and the stake.

dth. MULCHING.—When~the tree is planted throw around it as far as the roots
extend, and a foot beyond, five or six inches deep of rough manure or litter. This is
particularly necessary in dry ground, and is highly advantageous everywhere both in
spring and fall planting. It prevents the ground from baking or cracking, and main-
tains an equal temperature about the roots. :

6th. AFTER-CULTURE.—The grass should not be allowed to grow around young
trees after being planted, as it stunts their growth. The ground suould be Kept clean
and loose around them until, at least, they are of bearing size.

TREATMENT OF TREES THAT HAVE BEEN FROZEN IN THE PACKAGES, OR RECEIVED
DURING FRosty WEATHER.—Place the packages, unopened, in a cellar or some such
place, cool, but free from frost, until perfectly thawed, when they can be unpacked, and
either planted or placed in a trench until convenient to plant. Treated thus, they will
not be injured by the freezing. Trees procured in the fall for spring planting, should ~
be laid in trenches in a slanting position to avoid the winds; the situation should also be
sheltered and the soil dry. A mulching on the roots and a few evergreen boughs over
the tops will afford good protection.

DISTANCE BETWEEN TREES IN PLANTATIONS.
STANDARD APPLES, 30 to 40 feet apart each way. Im poor soils 25 feet may be
enough.
STANDARD PEARS AND CHERRIES, 20 feet apart each way. Cherries will do at 18
feet, and the dwarf growing sorts, Dukes and Morellos, even at 16 feet.
STANDARD PLuMs, PEACHES, APRICOTS AND NECTARINES, 16 to 18 feet apart each
way.
QuINcEs, 10 to 12 feet apart each way.
DWARF OR PYRAMIDAL PEARS, CHERRIES AND Pius, 10 to 12 feet apart each
way. The greater distance is better where land is not scarce.
DwarF APPLEs (bushes), 6 feet apart.
CURRANTS, GOOSEBERRIES AND RASPBERRIES, 3 to 4 feet apart.
BLACKBERRIES, 6 to 7 feet apart.

The number of plants required for an acre, at any given distance apart, may be
ascertained by dividing the number of square feet in an acre (48,560), by the number of
square feet given to each plant, which is obtained by multiplying the distance between
rows by the distance between the plants. Thus, strawberries planted three feet by one
foot, gives each plant three square feet, or 14,520 plants to the acre.

SELECT APPLES.

——_4+eo__

Our principal stock of apples consists of the following varieties, which have been
well proved, and can be recommended as the best now in cultivation :

DWARF TREES, for Bushes and Espaliers, can be supplied of several sorts on Para
dise stocks. We propagate only those varieties which produce large, handsome fruit,
mostly summer and autumn kinds; a list of varieties furnished on application. On the
Paradise stock the trees are small, prolific, bear early, and are therefore desirable for
small gardens or experimental orchards. They can be planted 5 or 6 feet apart, and will
bear abundantly the second year after planting.

Among the many espalier forms for training the Dwarf Apple, none are so simple or
so beautiful as the horizontal cordon. Trained along the walks of a fruit or kitchen gar-
den, they occupy literally no space. The stem is from one and a half to two feet, and
each tree has two arms trained on a wire or wooden rail.. The most suitable trees for this
mode of training are one year from the bud, on Paradise stock.

RUSSIAN APPLES.

Several_years ago, for the purpose of testing the Russian Apples, we secured collec-
tions from the most reliable sources in Russia, and also from the Department at
Washington. After submitting quite a number of sorts to a fair test, we were greatly
disappointed to find that but few gave promise of value. Among the number tried we
did not find one which surpassed or even equaled the Oldenburg, which, by the way, is
a most valuable variety for this locality, either for orchard or garden. Hence we came
to the conclusion, that for this and similar climates, where the choicest apples can be
grown successfully, the Russian sorts are not of much, if of any value. But in the

CATALOGUE OF FRUITS. 15

colder sections of the country, where our highly prized varieties utterly fail, owing to
lack of hardiness, the Russian Apples will no doubt do well and prove to be a great de-
sideratum. We find nearly all the sorts which have borne fruit thus far to be summer
or fall apples here. Grown farther north, they will undoubtedly keep considerably
longer. From the large collection, we have selected for propagation the two following
as the most valuable. We have besides two or three others, which we consider quite
meritorious, but we have determined not to offer them yet.

PrickE—49 cents each. $4 per dozen.

Arabskoe (Arabian Apple)—Large ;_ three inches in diameter, roundish, inclining to
conical ; greenish yellow ground, mostly covered with purplish red anda light
bloom; flesh fine grained, white, juicy, sub-acid; a moderate grower ; foliage

_ very large, over four inches long, with long stalks ; a beautiful apple. Ripe here
in October, but will Keep later.

TVitovka (Titus Apple)—Large; three and one-quarter to three and a half inches in dia-
meter; roundish, tapering slightly to crown; color greenish yellow ground,
striped and marbled with light red in the sun; when fully ripe, the ground is
yellow, and the red, deep and dark, mostly covering the fruit, and usually a light
bloom ; flesh rather coarse, tender, juicy, very mild acid; quality not high, but
good. Treeafree grower and very productive. Foliage very large. Ripe in
September.

Yellow Transparent—Mr. Downing’s description: ‘‘A Russian variety, which
promises to be valuable for a cold climate, as an early fruit of good quality, ripen-
ing before the Tetofsky, with more tender and delicate flesh, but does not continue
long in use. It is said that the tree so far has proved to be very hardy, moderately
vigorous, upright and an early and good bearer annually. Fruit medium, round-
ish oblate, slightly conical; skin pale yellow when fully mature ; flesh white,
half fine, tender, juicy, sprightly, sub-acid ; quality good to very good. Season
early in August and a week or two before Tetofsky.” _

SELECT PEARS.

The following list includes most of those which have been well tested and prove
valuable.

Those designated by a * are of American origin. A special list of those which we
find particularly well suited to the Quince stock will be found at the end of the general
list.

GATHERING PEARS.—One of the most important points in the management of Pears,
is to gather them at the proper time.

Summer Pears should be gathered at least ten days before they are ripe, and Autumn
Pears at least a fortnight. Winter varieties, if they will hang so long, may be left until
the leaves begin to fall. 2

THIN THE FRurr.—We cannot urge too strongly the ‘following suggestion: When
pear trees are heavily laden, the fruit should be thinned when about one-third grown ;
else the fruit will be poor and the trees injured.

y callow when the fruit is fully matured, with the parts exposed to the sun brilliant

red or carmine. The flesh, while it is like that of the Bartlett, is free from its

strong musky aroma, and is firm to the core. It commences to ripen in August, a

little before the Bartlett, and extends into September. The tree is a moderate

erower, and to obtain good standard and dwarf trees we are obliged to work it

upon strong growing sorts. On account of its size, quality and earliness, it is

CHERRIES.

—— «© ¢ —_

The Cherry succeeds well on dry soils, and is susceptible of being trained in any form
that taste or circumstances may require.

For orchards, where there is ample room for large trees, and in climates where it is
not subject to the bursting of the bark, standards with four or five feet of clean trunk
are preferable.

For door-yards, where shade and ornament are taken into account; standards of the
free growing sorts, with erect habit and large foliage, are the most suitable.

For fruit gardens, and particularly those of moderate extent, and in localities where
the bark of the trunk is liable to burst, the pyramidal or conical trees, dwarf or low
standards, with two or three feet of trunk, and the dwarfs, branching within a foot of
the ground, are the most appropriate and profitable.

We now employ the Mahaleb stock extensively, as we find the trees on it more hardy
in many cases, and it is adapted to a greater variety of soils.

CLASS li.—DUKE AND MORELLO CHERRIES.

These two classes of cherries are very distinct from the preceding. The trees are of
smaller size, and grow more slowly; the leaves are thicker and more erect, and of a deeper
green. The fruit is generally round, and in color varying from light red to dark brown.

The Dukes have stout, erect branches usually, and some of them, like Reine Hor-
tense, quite sweet fruit; while the Morellos have slender, spreading branches, and acid
fruit invariably. These two classes are peculiarly appropriate for dwarfs and pyramids,
on the Mahaleb ‘stock, and their hardiness renders them well worthy of attention in local-
ities where the Heart and Bigarreau are too tender.

Arch Duke—Large; bright red, but becomes very dark when fully ripe; flesh melting,
juicy, rich, sub-acid. Tree rather more végorous and upright than the May Duke;
hardy and prolific. Ripe first and second week in July.

fine for table when fully ripe; rather acid, tender, juicy and rich. Tree a slow
grower, but a most profuse bearer; makes a fine dwarf or pyramid on the Mahaleb.

season. Ripens through June. Tree a free grower, hardy, healthy and very pro-
ductive: sa

Empress Eugenie—Large, dark red; flesh juicy, rich; tree robust, and moderately
productive.

Late Duke—Large; light red; late and excellent. Tree robust, and makes a nice
dwarf or pyramid. End of July. Valuable.

May Duke—An old, well-known, excellent variety; large; dark red; juicy, sub-acid,
rich. Tree hardy, vigorous and fruitful; ripens a long time in succession; fine for
dwarfs and pyramids. Middle of June.

Montmorency Large Fruited—Fruit large and one of the finest flavored in this
class; tree a free grower, hardy and prolific.

Montmorency Ordinaire—A beautiful, large, red, acid cherry; larger and finer
than Early Richmond, and fully ten days later, ripening with Tradescants. Being
extraordinarily prolific and very hardy, it can be recommended as a variety of
great value. Tree a free grower.

dwarf and slender; makes a fine bush on the Mahaleb. If trained on a north
‘ wall, it may be in use all the month of August. Valuable.

ful pyramid.

SELECT PLUMS.

STANDARD PLUM TREES.

These are generally five to six feet in height, and, like all the stone fruits, should
have heads as low as possible.

DWARF PLUM TREES.

These are adapted to garden culture. The trees furnished by us for this purpose
are from two to three feet in height.

DISEASES AND- ENEMIES OF THE PLUM.

The prevalence of the disease of the Plum, commonly called the ‘‘ black knot,” and
of the insect known as the cwreulio, has of late discouraged people generally from giving
to the Plum its merited share of attention. It is not to be denied that these are obstacles
of considerable magnitude to indifferent, slovenly cultivators; but we are satisfied, from
_ actual experience, that nothing more than ordinary industry and perseverance is required
to overcome them entirely. Western New York is not exempt from these difficulties any
more than other localities; we hear complaints about ‘‘ knots” and ‘‘curculio” all around
us. Yet we are able to fruit, in the most successful manner, seventy or eighty varieties
of Plums annually, getting not merely a few scattering fruits, but full crops, weighing
down the branches, as all will acknowledge who have seen our trees.

This success of ours is not due to any extraordinary skill, nor to any peculiarity of
soil or climate, but to reasonably good care and culture.

Nothing is more favorable to the growth of the black fungus, or knot, than neglect.
We have seen trees growing in grass in some uncultivated door-yards transformed into a
mere mass of black knots, while trees in neighboring gardens, under good cultivation,
were entirely exempt. In our specimen Plum Orchard it does occasionally make its ap-
pearance, but we instantly remove it. Our preventives and remedies are good clean cul-
ture and prompt amputation.

As for the curculio, we find no difficulty in protecting the crop from it by merely
employing a little extra labor. When the trees blossom, and as the fruit begins to set,
we dress the ground about the Plum trees, and make it very clean and smooth. Then,
as soon as the curculio commences its operations, we spread a large sheet prepared for
the purpose around each tree, and jar it so as to shake down all fruits that have been
stung, as well as all the curculios. Both insects and stung fruits are destroyed. This
work is performed daily, and ensures a full crop. The work is done quickly; a dozen
trees in a garden can be attended to daily in less than half an hour’s work of aman. Let
those who really desire to grow fine crops of delicious plums try this system, and follow
it up rigidly, and they will be successful.

SELECT PEACHES.

To secure healthy, vigorous and fruitful trees and fine fruit, the following points must
‘be well attended to in peach culture:—1st. Keep the ground clean and mellow around
the trees, and give it an occasional dressing of wood ashes. 2d. Keep the heads low—
the trunks ought not to exceed three feet in height. 38d. Attend regularly every spring
to pruning and shortening the shoots of the previous year’s growth. This keeps the head
round, full and well furnished with bearing wood. Cut weak shoots back about one-
half, and strong ones one-third; but see that you have a sufficient supply of fruit buds.
Sickly and superfluous shoots should be cut clean out.

It should always be borne in mind that the fruit ts produced on wood of the last season’s
growth, and hence the necessity for keeping up a good supply of vigorous annual shoots all
over the tree. The plum stock is advantageous in stiff clay, cold and damp soils.

Notr.—In planting peaehes, it is of the highest importance to cut back the trees
severely. The stem should be reduced about one-third and the side branches cut back to
one bud. This lessens the demand upon the roots and enables the remaining buds to
push more vigorously. Most failures in newly planted orchards may be ascribed to a
non-observance of these directions.

SELECT APRICOTS.

——( +S He _—_

The Apricot is one of the most beautiful and delicious fruits we possess, and its value
is greatly enhanced by the season of its ripening—between cherries and peaches.

In the selection of choice garden fruits it is quite indispensable. It succeeds admir-
ably trained in Espalier form, which will be found advantageous in small gardens, as it
may occupy a house wall, fence or trellis, leaving the open ground for-other trees. In
cold sections, too, where the trees get winter-killed, or the blossoms injured by the late
spring frosts, these Espalier trees can easily be protected by mat or board screens. For
stiff and damp soils they should be on plum stocks; but on light, loamy, gravelly and
sandy soils, the peach is better. To protect against the curculio, see directions for the

Plum.

The Nectarine requires the same culture and management as the peach, from which
it differs only in having smooth skin like the plum. It is peculiarly liable to the attacks
of the curculio. The same remedy must be applied as recommended for the plum.

CLASS ilI-—WHITE GRAPES.

Croton—Bunch long, compact, shouldered ; berry medium or small, yellowish green ;
flesh melting, sweet ; quality excelient. It frequently mildews and is not reliable,
but where it does succeed, it is one of the mest valuable grapes for the amateur.
25 cents.

uniform, some being quite small, form 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; flesh tender with-
out 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. Grown
with care it is no doubt a valuable white grape for the amateur, and perhaps in
favorable locations may be cultivated successfully on a larger scale for market.
Ripens early, before the Concord. 25 cents.

Lady—Said to be a seedling of the Concord. Bunch medium ; berry medium to large
skin thin ; color light greenish yellow, with white bloom; pulp tender, sweet and

tinge of red on the sunny side, and covered with bloom ; flesh soft, tender, juicy,
sweet and good, not rich. Vine remarkably vigorous and productive, and the
fruit is beautiful when in perfection. It ripens after the Concord here, and in
average seasons it may be too late for this immediate locality, but will be valuable
in more favorable locations and farther south. A noble grape, worthy of careful
trial, where it is likely to succeed. 25 cents.

Martha—Bunch medium, moderately compact, shouldered ; berry medium, roundish ;

pact, occasionally shouldered; berry large, roundish, uniform; skin thin but

extent, later. Vine remarkably vigorous, healthy and productive ; foliage thick

supply the long felt want, among white grapes. 50 cents.

dered ; berry large, roundish, light golden yellow when fully mature ; flesh pulpy,
juicy, of fair quality ; vine very hardy, healthy, vigorous and productive ; leaves

seasons, and good locations to ripen it satisfactorily in this region. 25 cents.

slender grower but an abundant bearer ; quite hardy ; ripens almost as soon as the

A NEW GRA Ps!

With novel and distinct characteristics. A variety possessing the
high qualities of a foreign grape in addition to the
vigor and productiveness of a native.

NOW OFFERED FOR THE FIRST TIME. SPRING, 1888.

quality with hardiness, vigor and productiveness. With this object in view experimenters
in all sections of the country have been devoting much time, labor and expense to the produc-
tion of new sorts. In several cases their efforts have been successful, and some excellent varieties
have been originated. The “ Brighton,” one of the best flavored grapes, was raised after long
and persistent endeavor. Other varieties with desirable qualities are constantly appearing, but
the country is so large, and climate and soil so diversified, that it takes along time to deter-
mine definitely the value of a new kind.

ER, many years cultivators have been searching for a grape which should combine high

It is not to be expected that every new variety will succeed generally, and if from the large
number introduced only a few are found worthy to be retained, cultivators should be satisfied.

Those who have watched the efforts made within the last decade acknowledge that experi-
menters are laboring in the right direction, and that real and rapid progress has been made
towards securing the much sought after grape.

The new variety which we now offer for the first time is the result of long and intelligent
experiment by one of the most judicious experimenters in the country. The product of his
efforts is a grape which for size, quality and appearance comes the nearest to the ideal variety of
any we have seen. Its quality is the very best, exceeding in richness any hardy grape we are
acquainted with.

It possesses distinguishing characteristics which place it at once much in advance of the
ordinary grape and entitle it to be regarded as a remarkable production. Having tested it in
our vineyard a few years we now place it in the hands of the public, confident that it will be
found a valuable addition to the list of choice fruits.

We do not presume to say that it will succeed in all soils, situations and climates, but we
believe that in aclimate similar to ours, and with a reasonably good soil, situation and treat-
ment, such as every grape should have, it cannot fail to give satisfaction. It is especially recom-
mended to those who desire a grape of high quality and are willing to bestow upon it the care
it deserves.

DESC Rete rrON.

This variety was raised by Mr. William H. Mills, of Hamilton, Ont., by crossing Muscat
Hamburgh with Creveling. Bunch very large, compact, shouldered, some clusters weighing
over twelve ounces. Berry large, round, jet black, covered with a thick bloom; flesh firm,
meaty, juicy, breaking with a rich, sprightly flavor. Skin thick; berries adhere firmly to the
peduncle. Vine vigorous and productive; foliage large and healthy. Ripens about with the
Concord, or a little later, and is a long keeper.

(=~ Many suppose it is necessary to have their vines forwarded én the pots ; but this
is an error, except in the growing season. For transportation, the plants should be taken
out of the pots, and packed securely in moss. The vines will go safer in this way, and
the expense of carriage will be greatly reduced.

To keep a raspberry bed in good productive condition, the old, weak and dead wood
should be cut out every season, to give strength to the young shoots for the next year’s
bearing. In spring the weakest suckers should be removed, leaving five or six of the
strongest in each hill. The ground should be spaded and a top dressing of manure
given.

PRoTEcTION.—To guard against injury by the Winter, the canes may be tied to
stakes and covered with straw, or they may be laid down in the Autumn and covered
with a few inches of earth, leaves, litter or branches of evergreens.

They can be planted in the Fall or Spring with success. Black Caps cannot be
planted in the Fall. :
