Cortland.— Z«^. Fi^om K C. Pier son, Waterloo, N. Y., 1892. 

 This proves to be identical with Champion. The variety is a seed- 

 ling of Concord X Hartford that was originated by M. F. Cleary, 

 Cortland, IST. Y., about 1863. Mr. Cleary still has the original vine 

 in his possession. He named the variety Cortland. The Bushberg 

 Catalogue, 1895 : 102, states that prior to 1873 it had been dissem- 

 inated in the vicinity of Rochester, N. Y., under the name of Early 

 Champion, and in the vicinity of Montreal it became known as the 

 Beaconsfield. Prior to this it was grown in the vicinity of Bing- 

 hamton, N. Y., and was propagated and sold by T. S. Hubbard, 

 Fredonia, Is^. Y., under the name of Tallman. It is capable of 

 setting fruit satisfactorily when standing alone. 



Dr. Collier. — {J^ig Red) Lin. X, {Lin. vin., Lab). From T. Y. 

 Munson, Denison, Texas, in the fall of 1892. Clusters medium to 

 large, rather loose, sometimes shouldered. Berries medium or 

 above, reddish purple, with blue boom, leaving red fibres at- 

 tached to the pedicles ; pulp tender, juicy, vinous, nearly sweet, 

 agreeable flavor, good quality ; colored juice. Sets fruit imperfectly 

 when self-fertilized and so should be planted with other kinds that 

 blossom with it. Briefly noticed in Station Report, 1892 : 620. 



Dr. Hexamer. — Lin. X, (Zm., Lah., vin.). A seedling of Post 

 Oak X Triumph, originated by T. Y. Munson, Denison, Texas, and 

 sent to the Station in the fall of 1892. Clusters rather loose and 

 spreading, medium or above in size. Berry medium size ; color 

 purple-black with blue bloom. Pulp tender, moderately juicy, 

 nearly sweet, good quality but with strong Post Oak flavor ; juice 

 dark red. Much like America in foliage, size, color, flavor and 

 quality of fruit. In mixed vineyards it sets fruit satisfactorily but 

 it can not set fruit when standing alone. 



Early Golden. — ( Cainjybell). This variety was first named Camp- 

 bell, but since Mr. George W. Campbell has introduced a new 

 grape under the name Campbell's Early, this one has been renamed
