328 MISSOURI STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Clinton* — Free from mildew ; a strong grower ; recommended for 

 wine only. 



Concord. — Still holds its own ; has as yet very few superiors, all 

 things considered. 



Early Victor. — la this we find the finest qality of all early grapes ; 

 to our liking it is hardly surpassed by any ; bunch of medium size ; 

 vine in strong growth and mildew resisting paoperties nearly or quite 

 equals the iron-clad Champion; very valuable. 



Hartford ProlifiG. — Vine good and productive ; would be very de- 

 sirable for market if it did not drop so badlj^ ; superseded by Early 

 Victor. 



Herlert or Rogers' No. 44- — Fruit almost identical with Wilder, 

 but vine mildewed badly, hence not so valuable. 



Highland. — Clusters enormous; vine good, but too late and of 

 poor quality. 



Ives.— y me equals Concord in growth and productiveness ; fruit 

 of inferior quality until very ripe ; it colors early, but ripens in mid- 

 season; quite free from rot; recommended only for market and wine* 



Monteiiore. — Vine a strong grower, mildew-resisting and very 

 productive ; here we have apparently a very valuable grape for wine. 



Moore''s Early surpasses its parent, the Concord, in resisting mil- 

 dew, but is not so productive ; one of the earliest grapes ; it is very 

 valuable for table and market; larger in berry than the Concord. 



Telegraph. — Vine good, very productive, early and handsome, but 

 of inferior quality ; much pulp ; superseded by Moore's Early and 

 Early Victor. 



Wilder or Rogers J^o. -4. — Vine good and productive ; clusters 

 large and showy; quality excellent; ripens about ten days after Con- 

 cord and has but few equals. 



Worden is an improvement on the Concord, being earlier, larger, 

 of better quality and fully equaling it in all other respects. — Orchard 

 and Garden.
