250 THE GEAPE CULTUBIST. 



WALTER. 



Said to be a cross between the Diana and Delaware. 

 In size it is a little larger than the Delaware, and is a more 

 vigorous grower. Very sweet, but skin tough. Will 

 probably be a good keeping variety. Received the first 

 prize at the fair at Cleveland, Ohio, in October, 1866. 



WILMINGTON. 



In appearance this is one of the most beautiful of the 

 new white varieties, but in quality it is not more than third- 

 rate ; it may be better farther south, or in very warm, 

 protected situations. Bunches very large, loose, shoul- 

 dered. Berries large, round, quite acid, with a pungent 

 flavor. Skin thick, greenish white, covered with bloom. 

 A vigorous, coarse grower, with large tough leaves ; wood 

 long jointed. Ripens middle to last of October. 



YEDDO. 



The new grape from Japan. Those who have pur- 

 chased the vines of this new wonder, have probably 

 learned that it is worthless for out-door culture, if not 

 for any culture. 



YORK MADEIRA. 



An old variety, sometimes called Canby's August. It 

 is small, black, early, but harsh in flavor ; so much so, that 

 it is little esteemed at the present time. 



YOUNG AMERICA. 



One of Mr. Samuel Miller's seedlings from the Concord. 

 A very strong grower. The fruit I have not seen, but 

 it is said to be black and of good quality.
