EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 239 



Belvidere.— Vines quite vigorous. Cluster medium to large, cylindrical, should- 

 ered, moderately compact; berries medium size, round, black, with a light blue 

 bloom; pulp quite tender, greenish, sweet, with a plentiful juice and a slight aroma; 

 quality fair to good; seeds few; season early September. Quite productive. 



Berlin.— A strong-growing hardy variety. Clusters large; berries large, round, 

 greenish, with a slight whitish bloom; pulp tender, translucent, very light green, 

 pleasant, sweet, vinous, with a slight foxiness; juice moderate; seeds few; quality 

 fair to good; season last of September. If sufficiently productive it may pi'ove 

 a valuable white grape for marliet. 



Brighton.— Vines fairly vigorous, shoots medium to long jointed; leaves large, 

 thick, dark green; fairly hardy. Clusters medium to large; long, shouldered, moder- 

 ately compact; berries medium size, round or slightly ovate; color dark wine, becom- 

 ing dark purple when fully ripe, bloom thick, light colored; pulp tender, very juicy, 

 greenish-yellow, vinous, rich, excellent, with a slight aromatic flavor; juice plentiful; 

 seeds few; quality very good; season middle of September. Although it does not 

 succeed in all locations, it' is in most sections one of the most valuable of the red 

 varieties for home use or market. To insure perfet pollination it should be planted 

 adjacent to other varieties. The berries adhere well to the stems, but are rather 

 tender for long shipment. 



Campbell Early.— Vines very vigorous, with a dark green foliage. Clusters large, 

 cylindrical, shouldered; berries large, globular; color black with a beautiful blue 

 bloom; pulp melting, greenish-yellow, rich, sweet and vinous, separating readily 

 from the seeds; juice plentiful, colorless; seeds few; quality very good; season 

 early September. One of the most promising of the new varieties either for home 

 use or market. It seems to be of much promise as a shipping variety, and to be a 

 good keeper.

 berries medium size, round, dark, nearly covered with a slight bluish bloom; 

 flesh moderately tender, greenish-white, with a slig^^t aroma; quality quite good; 

 seeds few. Season last of September and first of October. Where sufficiently 

 productive it would be a valuable variety for dessert purposes.

 dered, loose; berries large, round, often covered nearly black, with a plentiful blue 

 bloom; pulp tender, pale green, vinous; juice plentiful; quality quite good; season 

 middle of September.

 tember. A promising variety, especially for home use.
