rdiness s the vine seems to take on the character of the native 
Fox grape. Color greenish white. Size of cluster medium. 
Compact. In quality it did not reach our expectations. 
Green Mountain.— It is claimed that the Green Mountain grape 
is a chance seedling found in the Green Mountain region of Ver- 
as were many of the other varieties, but the first in season of the 
_ white grapes. It is claimed by Ellwanger & Barry, of Rochester, 
_ N.Y., that the Winchell, propagated and sent out from their nur- 
suries for the past four or five years, is identical with the Green 
Mountain. We have at the Station a young vine of Winchell 
which bore a few small clusters of fruit this season, but no fair 
- comparison could be made from the first crop of fruit of one, and 
intelligent comparison can be made. 
Hayes (Francis B. Hayes).— Originated with John B. Moore, 
of Massachusetts. Vine a strong grower. Mildews a little in 
| some seasons. Ripens Just after Green Mountain and Moore’s 
us Early. Bunch medium in size. Fruit golden in color when fully 
ripe, and of the finest quality. Moderate or shy bearer. But for 
this fault it would be one of the most promising on the list of 
white grapes. 
Jessica.— Originated in Canada. Medium in growth. Some- 
_ what inclined to mildew. Has borne a good crop of fruit this 
season. Color white. Bunch about the size of Delaware, berries 
somewhat larger. Flavor very sweet and pleasant when fully ripe. 
One of the earliest of the white grapes. : 
Lady.— Is a seedling of Concord ; introduced by the Hon. G. W. 
Campbell, of Ohio. It is not quite as strong a grower as Jessica | 
at first, but improves in this respect as it grows older. Will stand 
close planting and rich soil. Season very early. Color white. 
Quality very good, influenced somewhat by the amount of fruit 
| on the vine. Will often overbear if not thinned. It is, strictly 
speaking, a garden variety. 
4 Lady Washington—Is a cross between Concord and Allen 
Hybrid; by Mr. Ricketts. It is avery rank grower, stronger even 
than Concord, It produces very large, loose and often double 
shouldered bunches of greenish white fruit, turning to golden 
mont. It is a very strong grower and has proved hardy here. It _ 
mildewed slightly this season. It was a little tardy in ripening, 
the fruit from the older vine. Next season, if both fruit, a more
