GREEN'S FRUIT GROWER: THE GRAPE
Rochester NY: Charles A. Green, 1886. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Trade catalog featuring the Niagara White Grape of upstate NY from Rochester's purveyor of fruit farm, garden and nursery plants and supplies. Catalog, approx. 6x9", printed light green covers, stapled spine.48 pages. Besides the Niagara species, Green presents other aspects of grape culture. Lots of advertisements, too. Nicest feature is a stunning full page chromolithograph of the featured grape. Covers moderately soiled. First page separated. Scarce. OCLC lists only titles of Green's Fruit Grower from 1906-17, and only one from an unidentified year in the (late) 1800's. We could find no fruit grower catalog dated 1886 for the grape. (The Fruit Grower dedicates a page in this journal to how to order from the Niagara White Grape Co of Lockport NY and OCLC identfies only 1 copy of that firm's catalag on the subject.). Very Good. Item #013033
