EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS 247 



Ozark.— Vines quite strong and hardy. Clusters large, cylindrical, shouldered, 

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

 pulp tender, meaty, greenish, vinous, not very juicy; seeds numerous, large; quality 

 rather poor; moderately productive; season middle of October, which makes it rather 

 late for this climate. 



Peabody. — Amines hardy and rather strong; clusters medium size, cylindrical, fairly 

 compact; berries medium to large, oval, black with a medium blue bloom; pulp 

 tender, greenish, acid, with a plentiful juice; seeds rather few; quality fair; season 

 middle of September; fairly productive. Not likely to become generally valuable. 



Perkins. — Vines quite strong and healthy, with leathery leaves. Clusters small, 

 conical, shouldered, fairly compact; berries medium to large, round, lilac or pale 

 amber, with a thin whitish bloom; pulp tough, yellowish, moderately juicy, very 

 foxy; quality poor; seeds numerous; season early October; fairly productive, but of 

 too poor quality for any purpose. 



Pockliugton.— Vines quite strong and vigorous, with pubescent leathery leaves. 

 Clusters large, cylindrical, shouldered, quite compact; berries medium to large, 

 round, golden yellow, with a whitish bloom; pulp tender, yellowish, with a mediuiu 

 colorless juice and slight foxy aroma; seeds few, rather large; quality good, fairly 

 productive; season early October. In some sections highly esteemed as a variety for 

 either home use or market. 



Pouglikeepsie.— Vines are weak and feeble in their growth. Clusters medium 

 size, cylindrical, shouldered, very compact; berries medium, round, wine-colored, 

 with a slight lilac bloom; pulp very tender, yellowish-green, vinous, sprightly, with a 

 plentiful colorless juice; seeds few, small; quality quite good. While it is ordinarily 

 quite productive, the lack of vigor in the vines, and the small size of the clusters 

 make It of little value. Season early October. 



Prentiss. — Vines fairly vigorous, with rather short-jointed wood. Clusters large, 

 cylindi'ical. very compact; berries medium to large, roundish-oval, yellowish or 

 greenish wliite, with a slight w*hite bloom; pulp half tender, light green, vinous, 

 rich, with a medium amount of juice and a slight foxy aroma; seeds few; quality 

 quite good; season early October; quite productive. A long-keeping variety that 

 has some merit for home use. 



Presley. — Vines quite vigorous. Clusters small to medium, cylindrical, shoul- 

 dered, quite compact; berries medium to large, roundish, oval, dark wine-colored, 

 with a light blue bloom; pulp tender, yellowish, nearly sweet, with a moderate 

 amount of juice; seeds few; quality fair to good; quite productive. Although of 

 rather low quality, the vigor and productiveness of the vines may make it of some 

 value for market purposes. Season middle of September. 



Rentz. — Fairly vigorous and ihealthy. Clusters medium size, shouldered; berries 

 medium to large, round, dense black, with little or no bloom; pulp half tender, 

 translucent, wMtish, with a sweet, vinous flavor, and considerable colorless juice 

 and foxy aroma; seeds numerous, large; quality rather poor; season middle of 

 September. The berries drop from the vines as soon as they are ripe. A southern 

 wine grape that is out of place in Michigan.

 moderately compact; berries large, round, wine-colored, with a thick bluish bloom; 

 pulp half tender, greenish, sweet, sprightly, with abundant colorless juice; seeds

 take the place of some of the older kinds.

 foliage. Clusters large, sliort, conical, shouldered, very compact; beiTies medium 

 size, roundish-oval to ovate, reddisih-purple, with a slight white bloom; pulp half
