DESCRIPTION OF varip:tip:s. 



Agaxcam. R3 



Adelaide. {Labi-.-lIi/hi-.) 

 One of Jas. H. Kicketfs hy- 

 brids between Concord and 

 Muscat Hamburg. It is of 

 medium size; berry of oval 

 shape,* BLACK, with light 

 blue bloom ; of a sweet but 

 sprightly flavor; purpled 

 red flesh. (See Remark 

 about Rickett's Hybrids, 

 sub. R.) 



Adeline. (Labr.) Sec 

 Miner's Seedlings. 



Adiroudac. (Labr.) 

 Originated at Port Hen- 

 ry, Essex County. 'New 

 York, (first noticed 1852) . 

 Probably a seedling of 

 the Isabella, being much 

 like it in growth and foli- 

 age. Bunch large, com- 

 pact, rarely shouldered ; 

 berry roundish-oval, 

 large, oblong, black, 

 covered with a delicate 

 bloom, transparent, with 

 a tender pulp ; thin skin ; 

 juicy and vinous ; quality 

 best "• when vou can get 

 it." 



Reports generally un- 

 satisfactory. A slow, 

 tender grower. Young 

 vines have mildewed. and 

 older ones need protec- 

 tion. Blooms early; 

 ripens about one week 

 before Concord, but often 

 has the fruit destroyed by 

 late frosts. Roots very 

 weak and tender. An 

 amateur grape only. 



Admirable. (Li7ic. x 

 ^st.) See Munson's 

 Hybr. 



Advance. {Ilip.-Hybr.) 

 One of Rickett'st earl er 

 seedlings, a cross between 

 Clinton and Black Ham- 

 burg. "A superior grape, 

 and at that time (1872) per- 

 liaps in advance of all 

 others. The berry is black, 

 with a slight blue bloom, 



roundish-oval; fc«Hc/t large, long and shouldered: flesh 

 too good to describe except pomologically, and then I 

 think it would read 'best: "—F. It. JSlUott, A\ Y. 



Bunch large, berry medium, thin skin, scarcely any 

 pulp; sweet and very sprightly-decldedly one of the 

 best very early grapes. Vine healthy, vigorous and 

 productive, but the fruit rots badly. Fully ripe here 

 .July .SO.— .Sam. MiUer, Bluffton, Mo. 



Foliage mucli inclined to mildew in unfavorable sea- 

 sons, more so even than otlters of the hybrids. Fruit 

 much inclined to rot; consequently not recommended. 



*The shape of most berries of American grapes is 

 globular, round; in varieties whose berries are of dif- 

 ferent shape, it will be expressly stated, as above.

AG-AWAM. (Rogers' No. 15.) 



Agawain. (Labr.-Hi/br.) ; Rogers' No. 

 15. Raised by E. S. Rogers of Salem, Mass., 

 and considered by him as bis best variety be- 

 fore the introduction of the Salem. It is a 

 brownish-KED or maroon grape of the Mam- 

 moth Sage and Black Hamburg cross. Vnie, 

 vigorous, a good grower and bearer ; this is 

 one of the few hybrid grapes that are capa- 

 ble of self-fertilization ; bunches medium to 

 large, often compact, shouldered ; berries 

 very large, somewhat globular ; skin thick ;
