Brighton. 95 



deeper green with a reddish tinge, while that 

 of the Canada is a lighter green with a whitish 

 tinge ; and so are the tendrils of the latter of 

 a paler green and only two-forked, while 

 those of the Brant are darker, longer, and 

 often doubly biforked. The Brant has long- 

 jointed red wood ; the Canada's wood is 

 rather short-jointed, of less vigorous growth, 

 green, brownish towards the sun. The 

 bunches of the Canada are usually shorter 

 and more compact; those of the IBrant are 

 not loose either, but not so very compact as 

 to flatten the berries. The seeds of the Brant 

 are very small, and rarely more than two in a 



berry. Both ripen very earl}-, and give a 

 wine of excellent quality and of very hand- 

 some red color. 



Kris:hton. (Zabr.xVm.) This hand- 

 some and line grape, raised by Jacob Moore, 

 of Brighton, N. Y., is a cross'of the Concord 

 and Diana-Hamburg. Vine hardy, a rapid 

 and vigorous grower, with medium to long- 

 jointed shoots, which ripen early; leaven 

 large, thick, dark green, glossy, coarsely ser- 

 rated, occasionally lobed. Very productive, 

 and, if the small bunches were taken off 

 early in the season, it would be a great benefit
