.Empi7-e State. Moderately vigorous and productive. Bunch long, 

 medium shouldered. Of very good quality and handsome appear- 

 ance. A fine table grape, but much subject to disease. 



Lady. Concord seedling. A popular early white variety of good 

 quality. Is neither vigorous nor productive here. 



Moore's Diamond. From Concord and lona, one of the best white 

 grapes in the station collection, healthy, vigorous and productive. 

 Bunch large, compact, heavily shouldered, berry above medium size, 

 skin thin, but tough, very tender, sweet and sprightly. Its beautiful 

 appearance, good quality, hardiness, productiveness and time of 

 ripening render it of some value for home use or near market. 



Winchell (Green Mountain). Vigorous, hardy and productive, 

 bunches large, quite compact, shouldered, berry medium, skin thin, 

 pulp tender, sweet and of excellent flavor, when fully ripe the berry 

 shrivels. The earliest white if not the earliest of all gootl varieties. 

 Especially valuable for home use as it prolongs the grape season by 

 at least a week. 



Agawam. One of Rogers Hybrids, has a very peculiar musky 

 flavor. When grown free from disease it is desirable. 



BercJoiian. Has been called a Delaware grape on a Clinton vine. 

 Bunch is larger than Delaware, not as compact, berries larger, 

 deeper color and not so attractive. Has a bright high flavor but 

 not quite equal to the Delaware in sweetness and ripens about a week 

 later. 



Brighton, (^oucord and Diana Hamburg. A handsome grape of 

 good quality. Hardy and vigorous, but somewhat susceptible to 

 mildew and fails to fertilize unless planted with other varieties. 

 Bunches large and well shouldered. A popular market grape in 

 some sections. 



Delaware. Needs no description. Still holds its own against all 

 comers as the standard for quality. 



Centennial. Vigorous and productive, bunch large, shouldered, 

 Berry small, light red with a tinge of green, sweet and juicy. A 

 good keeper retaining its flavor well into the winter. Has been 

 called the winter Delaware. Too late for New England. 



Io;ia. Seedling of Diana. A fine grape of the best quality, but 

 difficult to grow and seldom ripens perfectly in this locality. 



Rochester. Vigorous and productive. Bunch compact and heavily 

 shouldered. Flavor good, sweet, very aromatic.
