the name of the species to which it is most closely related; thus, 

 '-Lab. X '' shows that the hybrid is most closely related to the 

 Labrusca species. 



The names of the species represented in a hybrid are also 

 frequently given in parentheses following the name of the hy- 

 brid; thus, Bailey, [Lab., Lin. vulp.) indicates that the three 

 species named are represented in the parentage of this variety; 

 Brighton, Lab. X {Lab., Tin.) indicates that Brighton is a hybrid 

 of Labrusca, and vinifera, with more of Labrusca than of vinifera 

 blood. 



Synonyms are printed in italics and inclosed in parentheses. 



Antoinette. — ^o^- A seedling of Concord, originated by T. B. 

 Miner, Linden, N. J. Bunch small to medium, compact, some- 

 times slightly shouldered. Berry medium, round, light yellowish- 

 green with white bloom; skin thin, tough; pulp rather tough, 

 moderately juicy, does not release the seeds readily, nearly sweet, 

 vinous, agreeable flavor, good quality. Vine fairly vigorous. 

 Has not shown sufficient merit here to justify its being recom- 

 mended for trial. 



Grein Golden. — Vul. Lab. A seedling of Taylor, originated by 

 N. Grein, Hermann, Mo. Received from Bush and Sons and 

 Meisner, Bushburg, Mo., 1893. Cluster attractive, medium to 

 large, compact, often shouldered, conic; berry above medium, 

 round, pale greenish-yellow, or yellow, with white bloom and 

 often a decided pink shade; skin thin, tender; pulp moderately 

 tender releasing the seeds readily, very juicy, mild sub-acid, 

 vinous. It resembles Elvira somewhat in flavor, but like that 

 variety it lacks the high quality desirable in dessert fruit. Vine 

 a vigorous grower and })roducod a good crop of fruit this season. 



Hopkins. — Lin. X Bourq. Vine vigorous and productive. 



Claster large, very compact, often shouldered, conic; berry bekw 

 medinm, I'ound, dull black vrith thick bluish bloom. The numerous lariro 

 seeds form a large part of the berry. Skin thick, tough; pulp tough, mod- 

 erately juicy; juice colored, mild sub-acid, vinous, good flavor, fair qual- 

 ity; clusters often wither as soon as ripe and soon decay. Is perfectly 

 able to fertilize its own blossoms. Not desirable for this section.
