Eaton. A Concord seedling, vigorous and moderately productive, 

 buucli large, shouldered, rather loose. Berry very large, juicy, very 

 little pulp, has a fine appearance, but quality is coarse and not 

 equal to Concord. Not valuable except for exhibition. 



Herbert, Rogers No. 44. This may be considered one of the best 

 black grapes of Rogers seedlings. The bunch is large, well 

 shouldered and compact. Berry large, round and plump, even when 

 over ripe. Pulp sweet, tender and while not as high flavored as 

 some, is of the best quality. A very good keeper. 



Jewel. A Delaware seedling. Healthy, hardy, but not very 

 vigorous or productive. Bunches small, shouldered, compact. Berry 

 small, with a heavy bloom but too dark in color, sweet, juicy and, 

 finest quality. Keeps well for so early a grape. 



Moore's Early. A seedling, somewhat resembling the Con- 

 cord, but not as vigorous or productive. Bunches smaller, berries 

 larger and about oue week earlier. A profitable early market grape, 

 but too poor in quality to be grown largely. 



Nectar. A Concord-Delaware cross, moderately vigorous, healthy 

 and productive. Bunches medium to large, compact. Berry small 

 with a very heavy purple bloom, very handsome, pulp tender, sweet, 

 juicy and of good quality. 



Peabody. Seedling of Clinton, hardy, healthy and productive. 

 Bunch large, long, moderately compact, partly shouldered. Berry 

 oval, skin thin, pulp very tender and juicy, a vinous flavor unlike 

 most table grapes. It is early and should stand shipment well. A 

 promising variety. 



Wilder. One of the best known of Rogers Hybrids, hardy, 

 vigorous, moderately productive, bunch large, shouldered, rather 

 loose. Berry large, resembling Black Hamburg, flesh tender, sweet, 

 juicy, very good. An excellent keeper retaining its flavor exce[)tion- 

 ally well. 



Warden. A Concord seedling that is replacing its parent in many 

 localities. Very similar to the Concord in bunch and berry, but about 

 a week earlier. One of the leading market grapes and rapidly grow- 

 ing in favor. 



Duchess. A Concord seedling crossed with Delaware, vigorous 

 and productive. Bunch large, heavily shouldered. Skin rather thick, 

 tough. A grape of very good quality for the table and one of the 

 best keepers of the white varieties.
