FRANCIS B. HAYS. 



This is also of the same class and of about the same value. 



WHITE IMPERIAL. 



This is a very vigorous, healthy grower, hardy and productive. 

 An early grape of the very best quality, bunch large, compact, very 

 medium, very sweet, much like Duchess but of much better quality. 



WHITE BEAUTY. 



This is perhaps the most valuable white grape we have, taking it 

 altogether. A free, strong, healthy, hardy grower, free from rot or 

 mildew and very productive : bunch large, compact, handsome, very 

 medium, or above, of the best quality, as pure as an European grape ; 

 very valuable for market. 



FARRELL. 



This white grape is described as follows : " It is hardy and vigor- 

 ous as the Concord and very productive ; bunches very large, from 9 

 to 10 inches long, weighing a pound or over ; berries not quite as large 

 as Catawba ; far ahead of Delaware in quality ; the best grape I ever 

 tasted." It appears with us so far hardy, very vigorous and hardy ; 

 ripens in September. 



MINNAHAHA. 



This is a new hybrid grape of the very best quality, but requires 

 winter protection ; is very sweet ; not profitable but better than Lady 

 Washington; Duchess and Triumph of the same class. 



ANN ARBOR. 



This is of no value except for jelly and not the best for it, unless 

 taken before fully ripe. 



LEAVENWORTH. 



This is a Concord seedling, very hardy, vigorous and productive, of 

 excellent quality ; the best, very early white grape of the Labrusca type 

 that we have seen, much better than Lady and equally as early ; large 

 bunch and berry ; appears free from rot and mildew; a valuable early, 

 hardy market grape, easily grown. 



MOORE'S DIAMOND. 



This grape is a vigorous, strong, healthy grower, but not altogether 

 hardy, of fine quality, but rots some. If this grape was perfectly hardy 

 and did not rot it would be valuable.
