WOODRUFF'S RED. 



This is a very large, showy grape of the above type, but of better 

 quality; strong, hardy, healthy grower; if it does not rot may prove 

 a good market grape, particularly among those who like the Concord. 



JEFFERSON. 



This is a hybrid about as hardy as Salem, but more showy and of 

 better quality; it is an excellent grape but uncertain, requires winter 

 protection. 



ULSTER PROLIFIC. 



This is rather a feeble grower, healthy and tolerably hardy and of 

 good quality ; it is better than Yergennes, Wyoming Red or Pough- 

 keepsie Red ; neither of these are desirable when we have so many

MOYER. 



This grape is fair in quality, but like Jesseca, a white grape, is too 

 small in bunch and berry to ever be valuable in Kansas, where we 

 want large, showy fruit. 



BRIGHTON. 



This grape might be classed with Jefferson, for it is neither hardy 

 or productive, and rots and mildews badly; of no value; it is of ex- 

 cellent quality when you get it. 



We will now give you a list of black grapes : 



MOORE'S EARLY. 



This is a large grape, rather small bunch, not quite equal in quality 

 to the Concord ; its earliness is the only thing to recommend it. 



EA.RLY VICTOR. 



This is about as early as Moore's, but of much better quality, 

 larger in bunch but smaller in berry; it is a good, early grape where it 

 does not rot. 



WORDEN. 



This is so near like the Concord that it might be dispensed with ; 

 we can find no difference in them. 



JEWEL. 



This is a seedling of Delaware, originated with Mr. Burr. It is 

 without a doubt the earliest and best in quality of any early grape yet 

 introduced, free from rot and mildew; hardy, healthy and vigorous ; it
