DESCEIPTION OF VARIETIES. 239 



CLOANTHA 



A seedling from Kentucky, a strong grower. Fruit 

 black, resembling the Isabella, but more foxy. 



COTOCTIN. 



A new white grape received from Pennsylvania. Said 

 to be valuable. I have not seen the fruit. 



COWAN. 



A variety considerably grown on the shores of Lake 

 Champlain and river St. Lawrence. Medium size, black, 

 handsome, but very harsh and sour. A new seedling from 

 this, called the Sherman, is said to be an improvement. 



CUNNINGHAM. 



One of the Herbemont class. Succeeds at the West and 

 South : too late for the more northern and eastern states. 



DANA. 



Bunch medium, shouldered, rather compact, with pecu- 

 liar red stems. Berries of large size, nearly round, red, 

 with a rich heavy bloom, so that when fully ripe they 

 appear almost black almost free from pulp, sprightly. 

 A new seedling produced by Francis Dana. 



DETROIT. 



A new variety lately introduced, produced by T. R. 

 Chase, of Detroit, Michigan. Bunches large, very compact ; 

 berries large, very dark claret color, round, flesh with very 

 little pulp, with a Catawba flavor. Figured and described 

 in Horticulturist for Jan. 1867.
