farmer from the town of Rochester. I visited this farmer and as- 
certained that he picked the grapes from a vine growing wild in the 
woods. In further conversation with the store keeper, he said that 
he had for several years picked a peck of similar “white grapes,” as 
he called them, from woods in Westport, and that they were especially 
esteemed in jelly making, their jelly being of a much lighter color 
and requiring no more sugar. 
This variety of grape is undoubtedly rare in this part of the state 
although some vines may have been mistaken for the common vari- 
ety. Botanists may be interested to investigate this subject further.

[Mr. Hervey’s green grape may be referable to the “ Warre Fox. . 
Vitis labrusca, v. alba," Price, Treatise on the Vine, 181 (1830), 
found wild in woods at York, Pennsylvania, and described as having 
the fruits “not perfectly white, but tinged with a pale russet or 
amber colour. "—Ep.]|
