"among the best of the hybrid varieties." 

 Berckmans, of Georgia, Chairman of Fruit 

 Committee, said: ''Black Eagle we found 

 unsurpassed in quality, productiveness and 

 vigor. I have seen bunches that weighed a 

 pound and three-quarters, grown at Macon, 

 Georgia, some years ago ; but has not sus- 

 tained its early good record." 



S. A. Beach, Horticulturist of the N. Y. 

 Experiment Station, in his report for 1893 

 says: It can not set fruit of itself but in 



our station vinej'ard where it stands near 

 other varieties it is very productive. The 

 clusters are very large and filled with large 

 beautiful berries. Flesh rich and melting 

 with little pulp. Ripens a little before Wor- 

 dens. (We are not quite sure and convinced 

 that this fruitfulness is produced by pollen 

 from other varieties only and exclusiveh". ) 



We give a figure of its bunch and leaf
