Diamond (Moore's). A most beautiful white grape, bunch and 

 berry large, and of good quality. Thus far it has been free from 

 mildew and rot. 



Eaton. A very large black grape, showy, but watery and of too 

 poor quality to be desirable. 



Empire State. This is a white grape with long bunches and 

 berries of medium size. It is a late keeper and valuable, if the 

 mildew to which it is subject can be prevented. 



PockUiigton. A most beautiful white grape of fair quality. A 

 little later than the Concord, but for the past two years has matured 

 perfectly. 



liochester. A reddish purple grape of the best quality. The bunch 

 is very large, and the berries so numerous, that they are liable to 

 crack sometimes when growing rapidly. 



Rogers' Hybrids. Among these are some of the best grapes in 

 quality in cultivation, and they are all late keepers. The Barry, 

 Herbert, Lindley, Salem and tlie Wilder have done the best with us. 

 By the use of the copper solution to destroy the mildew and the rot, 

 to which they are much subject, these grapes may be successfully 

 grown. 



Vergennes. A large red grape of good quality and one of the best 

 keepers. It mildews badly. 



Winchell (Green mountain). A most delicions little green grape, 

 very early, hardy and productive. It is moderately vigorous and 

 has thus far proved free from disease.
