THE GRAPES OF NEW YORK. 471 



No. 13. Described by the Virginia Experiment Station as weak; stamens upright; 

 bunch small, compact; berry medium, coppery in color; ripens late. 



Hudson. (Lab.) Given by Downing in 1857 as from Mr. Calkins, Hudson, New 

 York. Growth similar to Isabella; two or three weeks earlier; bunch and berry much 

 the same, but less sprightly and not quite so rich. 



Hudson. (Lab. Vin.) A seedling of Rebecca; from A. J. Caywood, Marlboro, 

 New York, about 1870. According to Caywood and several prominent horticulturists, 

 this variety is identical with Prentiss. Caywood says he refrained from introducing 

 this grape on the advice of several grape experts but sent it out for testing to several 

 persons amongst whom was J. W. Prentiss, introducer of the Prentiss. 



Hulkerson's Seedlings. (Lab. Vin.) Twenty-one seedlings from a single bunch 

 of Wilder, from W. G. Hulkerson and Company, Oriel, Michigan, were shown before 

 the American Pomological Society in 1879. None was better than the parent, but all 

 were interesting as they showed much variation in size of berries and in color, the latter 

 ranging from black to red. 



Humboldt. (Rip. Bourq.?) A seedling of Louisiana, probably crossed with 

 Riparia; from Frederick Muench, Marthasville, Warren County, Missouri. Vigorous 

 vine of Riparia character, hardy, healthy; stamens upright; cluster medium, sometimes 

 shouldered, compact; berries medium, oblate, dull golden green with thick bloom, amber 

 when fully ripe; sweet, of Elvira flavor; ripens with Catawba. 



Hunterville. Mentioned by Sidney Weller, in the United States Patent Office Report 

 for 1845, as a native variety, subject to rot, grown in North Carolina. 



Huntingdon. (Rip.) Australian. Vigorous, hardy, productive, subject to mil- 

 dew; resembles Clinton; bunch small, shouldered, compact; berry small, round, black; 

 juicy, vinous; drops badly; ripens unevenly. 



Husmann. (Line. Vin. Lab.) A seedling of Armlong crossed with Perry; from 

 Munson, introduced in iqoo. Vigorous, prolific, subject to mildew; clusters very large, 

 long, cylindrical, compact; berries medium, globular, black, with tendency to drop; 

 juicy, tender, more vinous than Black Eagle but less sweet; skin thin, tough; ripens 

 with Herbemont. 



Hutchinson. (Long.) A wild variety of Vitis longii; secured from Hutchinson 

 County, Texas, by Munson. Stamens reflexed; cluster small; berry small, black; ripens 

 mid-season. 



Hutporup. (Long. Line. Rup.) A seedling of Hutchinson fertilized by Porup; 

 from Munson. Stamens reflexed; cluster small; berry small, black; ripens early. 



Hyde Black. (Lab.) Given in Prince's Treatise on the Vine, 1830, as a native 

 variety found on the farm of Wilkes Hyde, near Catskill, New York. Very vigorous 

 and productive; berries medium, black; juicy, tender, rather astringent, foxy. 



Hyde Eliza. (Lab. Vin.) A seedling from Wilkes Hyde, about 1828. This variety 

 so closely resembles York Madeira that it has caused much confusion. Charles Downing
