Appendix. 217 



Brighton — A variety requiring a dry period at the time of blossoming 

 in order to insure the setting of the berries owing to the lack of pollen. 

 Berries, medium to large, light red, changing to dark red when fully 

 matured. Not a desirable grape for this location. 



Concord Muscat — Matures September 25th. Bunches, long, compact; 

 berry, large, oval; skin, thin; color, a greenish white with delicate bloom; 

 rich and sugary with a strong Muscat flavor. 



Concord — An old well known grape. It has not matured well any year. 

 Too well known to need any description. 



Delaware Red— Matures September 30th. Bunches, small, compact, 

 shouldered; berry, a little below medium, round; skin, thin; flesh, sweet 

 and tender, rich; color, a light red. It carries a thin bloom.

 covered with a heavy bloom. Matures September 10th.

 clear golden yellow; bloom, thin; high flavor, resembling that of a pine- 

 apple.

 color, light red; skin, thin; bloom, thin; flavor, pleasant and sweet. 



Hartford Prolific — A variety that never fails to mature, generally, from 

 the first to the middle of September. Bunches, medium; color, black. A 

 few days after maturity the berries begin to fall. It might be valuable 

 for home on account of its earliness and for this only, being one of the 

 few early black grapes.

 4th. 



Moore Diamond — A light green grape of excellent quality; berry, large

 bloom. Matures September 2d. Fruit of fair quality.

 ware. Matures September 13th. Clusters thickly set with small, very 

 sweet berries of excellent quality. Color, light red; a good second early 

 variety. 



Purity — Not of much value on account of its lateness in maturing; 

 bunches, small and loose; color, pale red, with a thin bloom; skin, thin; 

 flesh coarse. 



Secretary — Does not mature. Altogether too late a variety for this 

 section. Bunches, large, moderately compact, well shouldered; berry.
