DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES. 221 



standard vine grape of the country, but owing to its un- 

 certainty on account of the rot, it is now in many sections 

 being discarded, and other and more reliable kinds being 

 planted instead. It was never a favorite in the Eastern 

 States, owing to its lateness in ripening. In localities 

 where it will fully mature, and is not affected with rot 5 

 there are very few better varieties. Bunches medium to 

 large, rather loose, shouldered. Berries large, round. 

 Skin thick, deep red, covered with a lilac bloom. Flesh 

 pulpy, sweet, with a rich, vinous, and somewhat musky 

 flavor. Vine vigorous and productive. 



CUYAHOGA. 



This is supposed to be an accidental seedling, found and 

 introduced to notice by a Mr. Wemple, of Collamer, Cuya- 

 hoga County, Ohio. It has been considerably distributed 

 in the last five or six years, but its real character has not 

 been fully ascertained ; a large portion of the vines appear 

 to be more or less subject to mildew, and the fruit is 

 rather late in ripening. Some four years since I received 

 a variety from Cincinnati, under the name of Coleman's 

 White, which has proved to be the same as Cuyahoga. 

 Whether there is a distinct variety called Coleman's, or 

 that it is only another name for Cuyahoga, I have not been 

 able to ascertain. Bunches medium, shouldered, compact, 

 Berries medium to large, round, covered with a very thin 

 bloorn. Pulp tender, juicy, and sweet, but little flavor, not 

 rich. Color, pale greenish white. Wood short jointed, 

 and the vine a strong and vigorous grower when not at- 

 tacked by mildew. Ripens first of October.
