opment of the disease, so that the yet unaffected portions of the crop 

 continued healthy. 



Having been notified that a committee of the State Board of Agricult- 

 ure might soon be expected to examine the work of the Station, the 

 gathering of the crop of grapes was deferred till October 7, when the visit 

 occurred. At this date several of the earliest varieties, such as Moyer, 

 Jessica, Early Victor, and others, although otherwise still in good condi- 

 tion, had become so far desiccated as to be almost in the condition of 

 raisins; while Catawba, Isabella, Diana, and one or two of the Ricketts 

 seedlings, were still partially unripe. 



For reasons stated, certain particulars introduced into the following 

 tabulation, are unavoidably more or less imperfect. 



It is also the case that the line of demarcation between the different 

 species of the genus Vitis is either not very accurately defined, or gener- 

 ally understood; while hybridizations, either known or merely suspected, 

 and in many cases not even stated, have so blended specific characteristics 

 that it seems inexpedient if not impracticable to attempt a botanical classi- 

 fication of varieties. 



Persons who prize quality, and desire to secure this, even with slightly 

 diminished productiveness, and some additional care and labor, will find 

 abundant satisfaction, for dessert purposes, from a plantation of the fol- 

 lowing, named, as nearly as practicable, in their order of ripening: 



Green Mountain or Winchell (now shown conclusively to be identical) 

 which it is now proposed to re-christen Clough, in honor of the actual 

 originator — the late James Milton Clough, of Stamford, Vermont; has, 

 under the name Winchell (bestowed by Ellwanger and Barry, who were 

 its earliest propagators) produced a fine crop of fruit here the past season,
