Brighton.— Color a rich copper red. Bunches large, 

 and of excellent flavor. Ripens in September. One of 

 the finest of red-colored grapes yet known. 



Magara.— So far believed to be the best tvJiite grape 

 for the table. It is medium early, ripening in September. 

 In flavor it is considered equal to the best of the foreign 

 grapes of the Chasselas class. A most abundant bearer.

 years after planting.
