GRAPES, continued. Concord. The Grape for the million. Large, nearty black ; hardy, productive, rather late. Cottage. A large black Grape of good quality ; hardy and productive ; an excellent family variety, as well as good for market. Lady. Concord seedling ; berries large, light greenish yellow; thin skin ; pulp tender, sweet and rich ; vigorous and productive; ripens early. Moore's Diamond. A pure native cross between Concord and Iona. A white Grape, of dessert quality, with a sweet, sugary taste; healthy, hardy and prolific. Moore's Early. Another Concord seed- ling. Large, round, black, with heavy blue bloom ; hardy and productive for so early a Grape. Ripens two weeks earlier than Concord. Its quality, appearance and earliness make it a very profitable market variety, and it should for that reason be largely planted, especially where the seasons are short. Niagara. White ; bunch medium ; berry large ; skin thin, but tough ; vigorous and healthy ; very good variety. Ripens with the Concord. Pocklington. Concord seedling. Called Moore's Early. a wnite Grape, but the fruit is a light, golden yellow, clear, juicy and sweet, with little pulp ; bunches large ; berries round, large, thickly set; quality, when fully ripe, much superior to Concord. The most reliable and generally satisfactory of all white Grapes. Worden. A seedling of Concord. Hand- some, early, black, healthy, vigorous and productive, with larger, longer bunches; better in quality, and 10 days earlier than its parent. Has been well tested in Iowa. BUFFALO BERRY. This novelty from Wyoming is a tree-like shrub of symmetrical, bushy habit, about 10 feet high. The leaves are numerous and silvery white ; it would be an ornament in any yard for its foliage alone, but when laden with its dense, rich clusters of crim- son fruit from early summer through the fall and entire winter, it is a sight to be remembered with pleasure. As the male and female blossoms are borne on different plants, they should be planted in clusters of three or more for best results. The fruit resembles a red currant, and remains on the bush all winter. Freezing improves its fla- vor, until it becomes so rich that as a dessert fruit in winter it is without a rival, while for jellies it is equal to the famous guava product.
