AND WINE MAKING. 45 



EVA. A sister of the Martha, raised by my friend 

 Miller, at the same time, but has been sadly neglected. 

 Our friend Campbell claims that it is better than Martha. 

 To me it seems to be nearly the same. 



LADY.- Mr. George W. Campbell claims for this that 

 it is the best and earliest white grape now grown, 

 and it is certainly a good and beautiful fruit, when just 

 colored. I had occasion to taste it a number of times, 

 and found it best when just soft ; the riper it gets, the 

 more insipid and foxy it becomes. So far it has not 

 given satisfaction as a grower and bearer here, and has 

 also rotted badly ; but friend Campbell generally knows 

 whereof he affirms, and it must be good in Northern 

 Ohio, from all I can learn. Bunch medium, compact ; 

 berry full medium, pale yellow, with white bloom, pulp 

 tender, sweet, juicy. Said to be ten days earlier than 

 Concord. 



TRIUMPH. A hybrid between Chasselas Musque and 

 Concord, grown by Geo. W. Campbell, Delaware, Ohio, 

 and considered by him too late for that section, and 

 wanting in character. Here in Missouri it ripens to per- 

 fection, and is certainly one of the most attractive white 

 grapes for the table I have yet seen. Friend Miller, of 

 Bluffton, has it in propagation, and has fruited it sev- 

 eral years. Bunch large and heavy, shouldered, moder- 

 ately compact ; berry very large, golden-yellow, transpar- 

 ent, with delicate bloom ; skin thin, pulp tender, sweet, 

 juicy, and excellent. Eipens about with Catawba. It 

 seems to be hardy and tolerably healthy, as it has rotted 

 less than Concord, and it, therefore, certainly deserves a 

 trial, as such grapes as it produces are a feast to any one, 

 and would readily sell at 25 cents per pound. Succeeded 

 finely here last summer. 



On a recent Eastern, round among the vineyards of 

 Western New York, I examined the following, which I
