THE GRAPES OF XEW YORK. 467 



Harrison. (Lab.) T. T. Lyon, in the Michigan Horticultural Society Report for 

 i88r, thinks this is Woodruff's No. 2. A black grape of the character of Concord, but 

 larger in both berry and bunch and a week eariier. 



Harvard Seedling. (Lab.) Noted in the United States Patent Office Report for 

 1853 as a native seedling raised at Harvard, Worcester County, Massachusetts; may be 

 synonymous with Northern Muscadine. 



Harwood. (Bourq.) Improved Warren; Sacks of Wine. From Major Harwood, 

 Gonzales, Texas; noted in the American Pomological Society Report for 1881. Like 

 Herbemont but not as vigorous and the fruit is about twice as large, hghter purple, and 

 ripens four or five days earlier. 



Haskell's Seedlings. George Haskell, of Ipswich, Massachusetts, was one of the 

 early and persistent grape-breeders of the last centur>^ His efforts were similar to those 

 of Rogers in that he produced direct hybrids of Vinifera with early ripening selected 

 Labruscas. He used several varieties of both parent species and produced several 

 thousand seedlings. Experts to whom samples were sent affirmed that their quality was 

 of the best. A few were sent out for testing but the most of them were destroyed as Mr. 

 Haskell did not think that any of the offers would recompense him for the cost of pro- 

 duction. Those sent out were highly commended at first but soon dropped from sight. 

 The only named variety of his is Ruby. 



Haskew. Noted in the American Horticultural Annual for 187 1 as a native grape 

 from W. B. Kelly, Abingdon, Virginia. 



Hattie. (Lab. Vin.) A seedling of Michigan or Catawba; from N. R. Haskell, 

 Monroe, Michigan; fruited in 1861. Leaves similar to Catawba but smaller; bunch 

 medium, loose; berries medium, slightly oval, red with white bloom; little pulp, pleasantly 

 vinous; ripens with Concord. 



Hattie. (Lab.) Given by Mitzky, 1893, as a chance seedling from J. A. Putnam, 

 Fredonia, New York. Productive; bunch short, compact; berries medium, black; very 

 sweet, flavor similar to Aminia; ripens with Moore Early. 



Hattie. (Lab.) Noted by Mitzky, in 1893, ^^ a supposed seedling of Concord; 

 from Benjamin Stratton, Richmond, Indiana; nearly identical with Concord. Probably 

 the same variety that Bush mentions as being introduced by E. Y. Teas, of Richmond. 



Hatton. (Lab. Rip.) A cross between Faith and Ives; from F. E. L. Rautenberg, 

 Lincoln, Illinois. Vigorous, hardy, healthy, ven.^ productive; foliage resembles Faith, 

 and fruit, Telegraph; bunch medium, compact; bern,- medium, black; vinous; ripens a 

 little after Concord ; a better keeper. 



Hattus. (Lab. Vin.?) Noted by Mead in 1867 as perhaps the same as Hattie. Said 

 to be a seedling of Catawba, but of smaller size and quite acid; of claret color. 



Hawkins No. 3. From William Hawkins, Hamilton, Ontario. Exhibited as a 

 new grape at the American Pomological Society meeting in 1879. Described as hardy; 

 bunch and berrj- large ; white ; vinous, high flavored ; best.
