260 THE GEAPE. 



GARRIGUES. 



Raised by Edward Garrigues, Kingsessing, Philadelphia. A vigorous 

 grower, hardy and productive, very much resembles Isabella, and no doubt 

 a seedling of it. Bunch, large, loose, shouldered ; berries, large, oval, dark 

 purple, covered with a thick bloom ; flesh, with little toughness in its pulp, 

 juicy, sweet, and rich. Ripe eight or ten days before Isabella. 



GRAHAM. 



An accidental seedling raised by Mr. Graham. It sprung up in 1845, 

 and fruited in 1850 for the first time. Bunch, of medium size, shouldered, 

 not compact ; berry, half an inch in diameter, round, purple, thickly covered 

 with a blue bloom, contains little or no pulp, and abounds in a saccharine 

 juice of agreeable flavor ; quality, " best/' The leaf indicates its native 

 parentage. It is probably a natural cross between the Bland and Elsin- 

 borough, both of which were in bearing in the garden where it originated. 

 (Ad. Int. Rept.) 



HALL'S GRAPE. 



A seedling raised by David Hall, of Urbana. Berries, of medium size, 

 dark color, larger and better flavor than Clinton, but not equal to Isabella. 

 Said to be earlier and hardier than Catawba or Isabella. 



HARTFORD PROLIFIC. 



A variety of the Fox Grape, from West Hartford, Ct. For early 

 maturity and escaping of frosts, it is valuable, as it always bears, but its 

 foxy character is not agreeable, when the Delaware or Catawba can 

 be had. 



Bunches, medium, loose; berries, round; skin, black; sweet, with con- 

 siderable pulp. Ripens ten days or two weeks before Isabella. 



HERBEMONT. 



Herbemont's Madeira, | Warren, | "Warrenton. 



The origin of this is yet in doubt, some claiming it same as Lenoir, and 

 a native others claiming it as a French variety. Its hardy character and 

 resemblance in foliage to the River grapes, however, seems rather to favor 

 its being a seedling of our States. 



Only moderately vigorous. Wood, dark color ; terminal leaves, red or 

 brownish. Bunches, large, compact, shouldered ; berries, small, round ; 

 skin, thin, purple, slight bloom ; flesh, tender, without pulp, sweet, excel- 

 lent, juicy, vinous, valued for dessert, and yields a wine like Spanish 

 Manzanella. 



HUDSON. 



Originated in the gardens of Mr. Calkins. Hudson, N. Y. Growth similar 

 to Isabella, and said to be two or three weeks earlier. Bunch and berry 

 much the same, but less sprightly and not quite so rich. 



IMITATION HAMBURG. 

 Union Village, | Shaker Grape. 



A native variety. Fruit, large, dark purple, or as large, skin as thin, 

 pulp as soft and juicy, but of inferior aroma and flavor, to the Black Ham- 

 burg. Origin, supposed among the Shakers, at Union Village, Ohio.
