sub-acid than sweet, with very little if any of

ANNA. 



The Anna originated with Mr. Eli Has- 

 brouck, of Newburgh. It is a seedling of the 

 Catawba. It is hardy, and a good grower 

 The bunch is large, moderately compact, and 

 shouldered. The color is green in the shade, 

 covered with a thick pearly bloom, and dotted 

 with claret ; but in the light it becomes bright 

 amber. The berry is large, round, with a mod 

 erately thick skin. The flesh is somewhat 

 meaty, and has a fibrous center, which is very 

 tough and acid when only partially ripe ; but 

 when fully mature, the juice is sweet and vin 

 ous with a pure and spicy muscat flavor. It 

 begins to ripen early, but does not reach ma 

 turity till the end of the season. Like its 

 parent, it is disposed to rot in unfavorable 

 seasons, and is not adapted to general cultiva 

 tion.

 idea of their being hybrids as fully established
