tive, bunches large, compact, berries large, round; 

 juicy, sweet, pleasant ; flesh nearly free from pulp. Ri- 

 pens about time of Concord. 



Caiiada (ARNOLD'S ISTo. 16). The vine of this variety 

 is much like Clinton, its bunches and berries larger, flesh 

 nearly free from pulp, juicy and good. Ripens with Con- 

 cord. Raised by Charles Arnold, of Ontario, and said to 

 be a cross between Clinton and Black St. Peter's. 



Clinton* A well-known old sort. The bunches are 

 small to medium, compact, berries small, black; colors 

 early, but requires a considerable time after that to attain 

 full maturity, and will hang until early winter. Success- 

 ful both North and South. A hardy, productive, valua- 

 ble sort. 



Concord. Almost too well known to need a word. It 

 is a very strong, vigorous, and productive variety; suc- 

 ceeding in almost every soil and locality. One of the 

 earliest and most profitable ; valuable for garden or vine- 

 yard. The bunch is large, shouldered ; berry large, round, 

 black ; flesh juicy, pleasantly sweet, agreeable ; skin too 

 thin to carry well, and therefore not good for distant 

 markets. 



Cornucopia (ARNOLD'S No. 2). Medium-sized berry, 

 with a large, compact, shouldered bunch ; flesh nearly free 

 from pulp ; juicy, sweet, sprightly, and good. Ripens 

 with Concord. Same origin as Canada. 



Creveling. An old variety. Supposed origin Penn- 

 sylvania. A fine grape, but does not always set well. 

 The bunch is medium, often very loose, shouldered ; berry 

 medium, round, blue bloom ; flesh tender, juicy, sweet, 

 very little pulp ; richer than Concord, and ripens a little 

 before that variety. 



Cynthiana. A variety much like Norton's Virginia. 

 Highly prized for wine purposes in the West ; vine vigor-
