374 MISSOURI STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



remains in perfection on the vines longer than any grape known; bunch 

 rather large, berry full, medium and equal to the Delaware in quality; 

 ripens about ten days before Moore's Early ; the very best for early 

 market or wine ; it is very rich and sprightly ; commands the highest 

 price in the market. 



PROGRESS. 



This is another of Mr. Burr's seedlings, and one of the finest in 

 quality; bunch and berry large ; vine vigorous, hardy and healthy; so 

 far free from rot and mildew ; ripens after the Concord ; a very prom- 

 ising new grape. 



STANDARD. 



This is another of his seedlings from Delaware ; rather large in 

 bunch and berry, of fine quality; one of the best for late market and 

 wine ; vine vigorous and hardy. 



OSAGE. 



This is also a seedling of his of the Concord class, but larger and 

 better; hardy, healthy and productive; if it proves free from rot it 

 will be a good market grape. 



EATON. 



This is a large Concord of about the same quality; it has not, 

 however, made as strong growth as Concord, but it is showy and at- 

 tractive; if it does not rot may prove a valuable market grape, worthy 

 of trial. 



OZARK. 



This is, perhaps, the most remarkable grape ever produced. It is 

 the strongest grower of any vine we have, hardy and productive as 

 Cynthiana of the same type, with a bunch and berry nearly as large as 

 Concord, that will hang on the vines after frost. It is a late grape, 

 coming in after all others are over, free from rot and mildew. We 

 never saw a vine with such heavy foliage that remained green so long 

 in the fall and ripened its wood and protected its fruit so well. This 

 grape is of native Ozark type, different from all others in taste and 

 quality, something entirely distinct and new, originated from a lot of 

 unknown seed, many of which bear the same type; a valuable late 

 market grape that will handle and ship anywhere.
