ECLIPSE. 



This is one of Mr. Burr's seedlings, very strong and vigorous; 

 hardy; bunch, large-shouldered; not very compact ; berry large, ten- 

 der, sprightly ; of the very highest quality ; the best large white grape 

 we are acquainted with ; much superior to Niagara or Pocklington ; 

 ripe about with Concord. These embrace about the best of the white 

 grapes ; we now will give a list of a few of the red ones. 



EUREKA. 



This is a seedling of Delaware, but a much larger bunch and berry; 

 fully its equal in quality ; a strong healthy grower ; hardy and produc- 

 tive ; free from rot and mildew ; one of the very best. 



PERFECTION. 



This is another seedling of Delaware, strong, healthy and hardy ; 

 bunch large, compact ; berry, clear red, medium ; fully equal to Dela- 

 ware if not better ; free from rot and mildew. If ever a grape can be 

 called perfection this deserves it, as this comes nearer it than any one 

 we have yet seen. 



IDEAL. 



This is one of Mr. Burns' seedlings which he describes as follows: 

 " Vine very vigorous, hardy, productive (overbears), a seedling of Del- 

 aware, same color, and ripens about the same time, and about three 

 times its size, quite as large as Catawba, with compact, large beautiful 

 clusters ; fruit very tender and delicious, without pulp when fully ripe ; 

 flavor very delicate and refined, surpassing any grape yet introduced." 



NORFOLK. 



This is a Catawba in taste and better in quality, more hardy and 

 rots and mildews much less ; a desirable grape when grown. 



wells' seedling. 



This is a large showy grape of good quality, someAvhat musky but 

 not unpleasant ; vine strong, healthy grower, and appears hardy, may 

 prove a good market grape. 



MARSALA. 



This is of the Labrusca type and of the class of Dracut- Amber, 

 but larger, 'more showy and pulpy; fine for jelly and canning; hardy 

 and healthy, rots but little.
