CAMPBELL'S EARLY. Campbell's Early. Its strong, hardy, vigorous growth, thick, heavy, perfectly healthy foliage; very early ripening and abundant bearing of large and handsome clusters of excellent quality, com- bined with the most remarkable keeping and ship- ping qualities, form a combination equalled by no other grape. Its period of full maturity is from the middle to the last of August, according to the season, ripening with Moore's Early, but, unlike that variety, it has kept sound and perfect, both on and off the vine, for weeks after Moore's Early was decayed and gone. In dessert quality it is unrivalled by any of our present list of first early market grapes. It is, both as to cluster and berry, of large size, of a glossy black color with a beautiful blue bloom; pulp sweet and juicy; free from foxiness; seeds small, few in number and part readily from the pulp. 1 yr. 35c; 2 yr., 50c. Columbian. First brought into notice at the World's Fair, where it attracted great attention on ac- count of its extraordinary size. Vine strong grower, with large, thick, leathery leaves. Ber- ries very large and showy, fair quality, good ship- per, ripens with Moore's Early. 1 yr., 50c. Early Ohio. Very early, hardy and productive, strong, thrifty grower.

Bunch large, berry large, round with heavy blue bloom, vine exceedingly hardy. Its earliness makes it desirable for an early market; its hardiness partic- ularly adapts it to Canada and Northern portions of the United States; succeeds admirably in the south. 1 yr., 15c, 8 for $1.00. Wilder. (Roger's No. 4.) Bunch and berry very large; round, flesh tol- erably tender, sprightly sweet and agreeable. Worden.
