Josselyn Gooseberry
A Magnificent Success. | It-Has No Rival.

Best grower, best foliage and most profitable fruiter, when compared
| with any other Gooseberry in existence. ‘The freest of all Gooseberries
from mildew, both in leaf and fruit.

If you have not the Josselyn you may be sure you have not the best
Gooseberry.

The Rochester Lithographing Company of Rochester, N. Y., have
lately issued very nice Plates of the Josselyn Gooseberry and are now ready
to supply these Plates to Nurserymen.

The Red Jacket Gooseberry is an English variety of little or no value.
We do not offer it.

THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

We have never had this pest on our grounds or premises. We believe
the best thing we can do with this scale is to KEEP IT OUT. We
_ have followed strenuous methods to accomplish this. We have observed
that an easy way to acquire this scale is to exchange stock with ‘*Tom,
Dick and Harry.” We haven’t made an exchange deal for stock in more
than fifteen years and don’t propose to begin.

OOOOOODOoOoOoOoOo

We now grow all our Grape Vines entirely out of doors from cuttings
about 74 to 12 inches long. Many years of experience have demonstrated
to us that Grape Vines grown from short cuttings or partly grown in green-
house are not as valuable for vineyard or garden as from long cuttings all
grown in open air.

Campbell’s Early Grape

Planters of this Grape will find herein some very important informa-
tion on this subject. .
Campbell’s Early vines are now being bought in large lots by careful,
wide awake vineyardists who want a grape which will hang on the vines,
will not crack and which will keep and can be marketed at advantageous
times instead of having to be forced on the market on some special day to
avoid cracking and shelling. ‘These vineyardists want a grape which will
bring profitable returns instead of possible losses and which will fill the bill
for people who are able and willing to pay a better price for something
better in quality than the common kinds of grapes. As more than one-
third of the people do not and will not swallow grape seeds, here is an-
other gap which Campbell’s Early fills. The fruit of Campbell’s Early in
our own vineyard has hung on the vines sound and perfect for more than
TEN WEEKS after ripening, which fact was observed by numerous vineyard-
ists in our neighborhood. Asa good keeper and shipper it is believed to
be unequalled by any other grape. Its early ripening is at same time with
Moore’s Early and at that time the quality of Campbell’s Early is fully as
good as Moore’s Early. After that time the quality, of Campbell’s Early
steadily improves for from two to six weeks, so its season is not only very early
but is also medium and late. In short you can pick them from early to
late as you choose. It is the best keeper in our entire collection. We
have never known a bud of Campbell’s Early to be hurt by frost; in our
own vineyard they have stood 18 degrees below zero without any injury.
Campbell’s Early is inclined to overbear, so when this occurs the blossoms
(or fruit when small) should be thinned or the vines and fruit will probably
suffer in following year. .

We believe the usual practice of pruning Campbell's Early is to leave
too much wood. On old vines we leave only 3 to 4 canes, each 12 to 18
inches long. We use three wires respectively 24 inches, 36 inches and 60
inches from the ground. We train from lower wire, tie to second wire and
later in season tie new shoots to top wire.

The real value of a new grape which has been on the market for fen or
a dozen years is quite accurately shown by the demand for such variety for
vineyard planting. |
We will furnish without charge one colored plate for each plate book,
on condition that those who receive these plates buy their stock of Camp-
bell’s Early of us while using our plates.

Special Notice

We secured for this year and future plantings several large tracts of
very best new land existing in our and neighboring towns. ‘This season our
vines have made unusually strong growth and we have procured extra box-
ing to meet this requirement.

MEDALS, ETC.

At World’s Fair, St. Louis in year 1904 we were awarded the
only gold medal given to any individual or firm for out-of-door
grown grapes and about ninety per cent of our Exhibition was
Campbell’s Early.

We were awarded Gold Medal, Silver Medal and Dicloms from the
Pan-American Exhibition in 1901. Wilder Silver Medal in 1897 also
Wilder Silver Medal in 1901 from American Pomological Society. Medal of
Excellence from American Institute in 1897.

Campbell’s Early has taken First Premiums too numerous to mention
and when placed in competition with other varieties, and properly scored,
there isn’t another black grape in America which can stay in its company.

We showed Campbell’s Early grape at the World’s Fair at St. Louis
in 1904, and Pan-American Exhibition in a (to us) new method. We
_ showed it in plates in the usual way and that those interested might have
| an opportunity to taste them, we put them in by the hundred baskets.
Judging by the number of orders we have received from this way of show-
ing and giving away of the fruit we conclude that we don’t care to show
fruit in future in any other way.

We do not show grapes at our “Town, County or State Fairs but at
| such times our friends, not only of our own but of adjacent Towns, get
_ the privilege of helping themselves to specimens from our 6 acre Campbell’s |
| Early vineyard knowing that for size of bunch and berry, weight, beauty
_ of cluster and deliciousness of fruit no other variety on our grape belt of |
| over thirty thousand acres will make as good showing as Campbell’s Early.

CERTIFICATE OF INSPECTION.
Every consignment from us will be accompanied by a Certificate from
our proper State Authorities stating it is free from all contagious disease or
diseases or the San Jose Scale or other dangerously injurious pest or pests.
