FOB LATE MARKET. 



The favorite for this purpose is the Flame Tokay, 

 which combines fine color, handsome appearance, size 

 of bunch and berry and good shipping qualities. Clus- 

 ter very large, shouldered; berry very large, oblong, 

 pale red, covered with violet bloom, very firm and 

 meaty. 



BLACK FERRARA. A strong grower, and productive. 

 Cluster medium, compact ; berry round, black with blue

BLACK DAMASCUS. Medium grower and fair bearer. 

 Cluster large, loose, shouldered; berry very large, ob-

 better adapted to Southern than Northern localities, as 

 it ripens late. Cluster long and loose, shouldered, very

 fine lilac bloom, thick skin, firm. 



BLACK CORXUCHON. The vine is a strong but stocky

 second crop. Cluster very large, compact, heavily shoul-

 poor quality.
