NEW VARIETIES OF GRAPES. 

 Originated by Chas. B. Camp, Cheney, Nebr. 



Cheney, Nebraska, December 14, 1911. 



To Synonyms Committee of Nebraska State Horticultural Society: 



Gentlemen — In response to your request, made at the late Nebraska 

 State Fair, I herewith submit to the secretary of the society descriptions 

 of seedling grapes that the Nebraska State Horticultural Society has rec- 

 ognized by awarding premiums thereon. The list contains all the varie- 

 ties the society has so far recognized. These descriptions are wholly my 

 own productions, and if they are not fully satisfactory to the society I 

 will secure a competent botanist, and have more accurate descriptions 

 drawn. Thanking the Nebraska State Horticultural Society for the 

 interest it has taken in my work of originating varieties of grapes, I am. 



Very respectfully, 



CHAS. B. CAMP, 

 Cheney, Nebraska.

Assuming that an equal proportion of each parental variety or species 

 is introduced at each cross into the resulting variety, we would have, first, 

 Brighton, % Vinifera, 14 Labrusca; secondly, Aurora, % Vinifera, % 

 Labrusca; third, America, 14 Post Oak, Vz Rupetris; fourth, Santa Anna,
