DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES. 219 



a very close resemblance to the Diana, of which 

 we think it is a seedling. It has the same 

 sweetness, the same flavor, and the same con 

 sistency of flesh ; and the form, size, and color 

 of the bunch and berry are the same. Its value 

 will depend upon its hardiness, vigor, and early 

 ripening, of which we have no knowledge, the 

 vine having fruited only in the garden of the 

 proprietor. 



MAETHA. 



The Martha was raised by Mr. Samuel Miller, 

 of Calmdale, Pa. It is said to be a seedling 

 of the Concord. It is hardy, and a strong 

 grower. The bunch is of good size, and the 

 berry large, of a pale green, a little warmed with 

 chocolate or copper color. It has a buttery 

 flesh, an unripe acid center, and a sweet juice, 

 with some sprightliness, but no vinous flavor. 

 Like its parent, it has a pretty strong &quot; foxy &quot; 

 odor. 



DANA S SEEDLINGS. 



Of Dana s Seedlings we know nothing, except 

 that some of them are said to be promising, and 

 bear a general resemblance to the Rogers s Hy 

 brids.
