Dempsey's Seedlings. P. C. Dempsey, Albury, Prince Edward County, Ontario, 

 a noted Canadian hybridist of various cultivated plants, has produced several hybrid 

 grapes which are mentioned in grape literature as follows: 



No. 4- (Lab. Vin.) Medium in vigor. 



No. 5. (Lab. Vin.) Resembles Massasoit in some respects but earlier. 



No. 18. (Lab. Vin.) Failure. 



No. 25. (Lab. Vin.) Failure. 



No. 60. (Lab. Vin.) Hardy; white, vinous, very good. 



Apparently none of these were ever introduced. Besides these he originated Bur- 

 net. (See p. 443.) Dempsey's work with grapes was done about thirty years ago. 



Denison. (Lab.) A seedling of Moore Early; from Munson. Medium in vigor, 

 unproductive, usually healthy; bunch medium in size and compactness; berry large,
