The following ten kinds I have fruited but one year. Both size 

 of bunch and berry, quantity and even quality, often fail to be deter- 

 mined by the first year's fruiting. Nevertheless there are some features 

 that are interesting and somewhat accurate. 



Headlight — Red, almost identical in every way to Presley, not quite 

 so seedy, good flavor, puny in vine. 



Hidalgo — White, fair vigor, bunch and berry also, flavor much like 

 Moore's Diamond. 



Tankazi'a — Winter killed nearly to the ground. 



Palermo and Amethyst also. 



I observe Mr. Munson has discarded these last three from his cata- 

 logue. 



Captain — Black, bunches very long, eight or ten inches, slim, com- 

 pact, berry large as Concord, vigorous, too much acid. 



Cloeta — Black, rampant grower, made a few small nubbins only, but 

 this is no indication of what it may do when older. 



Mr. Munson says : This is perhaps the best black American grape 

 yet produced. It certainly has the necessary vigor or that distinction. 



Shala — Black, much like Cloeta. 



Blondin — White, a few nubbins only. 



Eleala — White, bunch and berry much like Concord, very vigorous ; 

 in quality almost if not quite equal to Wapanuka, the berry being a 

 httle more meaty than the latter. Attacked by leaf folder but it appeared 

 to do no harm as it ripened, both fruit and wood perfectly. This is the 

 most promising white grape I have yet met with ; but I observe Mr. 

 Munson has eleminated it from his catalogue. 



Tamala — White, vigor medium, quality good, bunch and berry me- 

 dium. Discarded by Munson. 



La Reine — Black, of all the most promising till nearly ripe, the pedi- 

 cels mildewed and failed to mature a most promising crop. Discarded 

 by Munson. I have tried several others, but the climate or soil not agree- 

 ing with them, they died. 



I have also fruited the Hicks for 3 years, introduced by Henry 

 W'allis of Wellstown, Mo. This is a good grape of the Concord type, 

 but of much better quality. I see no reason why it may not supercede 

 the Concord. 



Campbell Early — I have fruited this grape the last three years. If 

 this grape had vigor sufficient to make it productive it would be the best 

 black American grape yet produced. Everybody likes the fruit, and its 

 keeping qualities are remarkable.
