ing 27 degrees below zero at Palmyra, . Missouri, in the grounds of Dr. Jaudon, and bore

 large leaves, stocky, prolific. Cluster large, conical, not very compact; berries large, globular, 

 clear handsome red, persistent, does not drop or crack, skin thin, flesh little pulpy, very juicy; 

 should be thoroly ripe, as otherwise rather acid, quality good; ripe about a week later than

 sistent, ovoid, medium in size, black, skin thin, tenacious; flesh tender, very juicy, juice of a 

 claret color; flavor pure, fine, the richest in sugar of any variety tested in 1907. Altogether an 

 exceedingly promising variety for late market and red wine. Not yet introduced. (See Plate

ARMALAGA,T. V. M. 1902. ( 6 &). (Armlong x Malaga) . Vine very robust, stocky, short

 berry large, globular, black, skin thin, tough; pulp tender, juicy, spicy and pure, of fine flavor, 

 seeds small ; ripens late, some three weeks after Concord. On account of having imperfect flowers,
