This is a new grape which is recommended by the 

 American Pomological Society sis promising well. It 

 ripens about the first of September; is black, sweet 

 and good. Bunches and berries large.

 age, productive, and probably the earliest hardy 

 grape of fair quality in cultivation, and will ripen its 

 fruit several degrees further north than the Isabella 

 and Catawba."
