OF FRUITS, ORXAMEXTAL TREES, ETC. 27 V Lady Washington—A showy and beautiful white grape: bunch and berr}" large; skin pale yellow, with a tinge of delicate pink ; flesh soft, tender, juicy, sweet, very slightly ^inous ; of good quality. Ripens about ^vith Concord, and continues a long V time in use. Leader—This is a new white grape originated by a neighbor, Mr. B. F. Merriinan. and one that we have been watc*liing ever since we first had the pleasure of tasting the fruit four years ago. Each year since then we have visited the vines several times and each time have been more fully impressed with its great value. The vine is as hardy or hardier than Concord, a strong, vigorous grower with a Concord leaf on which there has never appeared a ])lotch of mildew. We have full confidence that it will succeed universally, or at least wherever the Concord will Bunches and berries of good size, an immense cropper, and we think it sweeter than any other white grape we cultivate. Meitiug sweetness is what most people look for in a table grape. The Leader possesses this quality in an eminent degree. Mr. S. Justus, a prominent Grape grower of Mentor, Ohio, a man who has tested nearly all varieties of grapes, and who has shipped nearly two hundred tons of grapes this fall, says in a card to Mr. Merriman : ""I think your new grape called the Leader, is the best eating grai)e that I have ever seen : it is'a good hardy grower and good bearer: think it ought to have a very prominent place among the'grape growers of this country. Martha—Bunches and berries of medium size : greenish white, with a thin bloom ; flesh tender, with very little pulp, juicy, sweet and rich ; \ hardy and productive.
