Moore's Early. Tlie one really good giiipe that is sure to ripen in 

 Massachusetts when any variety does. The vine is not quite as 

 vigorous as the Concord, but it is as hardy and the fruit of nearly 

 as good quality. 



Niagara. The most vigorous and productive white grape in cultiva- 

 tion. It is late in ripening and in unfavorable seasons has 

 rotted badly, but the foliage has not been injured' by mildew. 



Onieda. A red grape of some promise which has thus far failed to 

 produce a sufficient crop to be profitable. 



Pearl. Vine vigorous, but fruit does not ripen here. 



PocTclington. ioliage good, vine vigorous and the fruit large, fine 

 and of good quality, but it is unfortunately late in ripening. 



Poughleepsie Red. A promising variety, but has failed to fruit as 

 abundantly as in other sections. 



Prentis. Vine slow in growth, fruit of medium size and good (piality, 

 late. 



Rochester. Foliage good, vine vigorous ; has fruited but little with 

 us. 



Telegj-ajyh. Early, perfectly hardy, but of poor quality. 



Ulsters Proliflc. Small red grape of good quality ; we have not fruited 

 it long enough to test its value. 



Vej-gennes. Hardy, vigorous and moderately productive ; a very 

 promising variety. 



Wyoming Red. Good foliage, moderately vigorous and early. 

 Promising. 



Wilder. Rogers" No. 4. One of the best of Rogers' hybrids and 

 under favorable conditions succeeds well. 



Warden. By far the best grape to plant for profit in New England. 

 It is equally hardy, productive and of as good quality as the 

 Concord and more than a week earlier. In vine and foliage 

 almost identical. 



RED RASPBERRIES. 



Hansel. Hardy, rather weak in growth, foliage good, fruit early, 

 ripening with the Marlboro and before the Turner. The fruit is 

 of fine color and good quality, moderate^ fii'm and productive. 

 In some localities the foliage has mildewed badly ; on the 

 college grounds it has been injured in this way, but one sea- 

 son since its introduction four years ago.
