Remarks.

One of the finest very early grapes. Subject to mildew of the foliage.
Rarely successful.

Keeps well after gathering.

Very well esteemed by those who have fruited it.

*

One of Rogers's very numerous hybrids.

One-fourth foreign. Highly satisfactory.

profusely.

Bears

It is yet one of the best in localities where the season is long enough to ripen it. Good two years out of three at the south.

Very early, vigorous and productive. Valuable chiefly as an early market grape.

Is seldom good or even passable till ripened by frost. Fruit best on high, warm, gravely soils.

Here, as elsewhere, this is "the grape for the million," since it can take care of itself.

Seedling from Concord by E. W. Bull. Prized in Lenawee county.

Possibly from defect of the bloom, this is a bad setter and a thin bearer.

Slow grower. Fully as productive as Concord when well established. Fruit sometimes fails from dropping of the leaves.

Vigorous, healthy, promising.

Rather foxy, with a thick tough skin. One of the best keepers. A thin bearer on strong soils. Better on dry, warm soils.

Very large in both bunch and berry-market.

Better in a more southern latitude.

SECTION X.-GRAPES-FOREIGN.

Foreign grapes are recommended strictly for cultivation under glass; and as, when thus situated, they may be considered as, for all practical purposes, independent of climate; and as they are, moreover, thus grown mainly, if not wholly, for dessert purposes, we have merely copied the list recommended by the American Pomological society, with the accompaning descriptions, omitting any further tabulations.
