Cornucopia. (Bip.-JInhr.); Ar- 

 nold's No. 2. A seedling of Clinton, 

 crossed with Black St. Peters. Vine 

 mucti resenibliug the Clinton in ap- 

 pearance, but superior in size of 

 berry and bunch, and greatly superior 

 in flavor: a healthy grape and a good 

 bearer. The Paris (Canada) Hoi'ti- 

 cultural Society reported on it as 

 follows : 



'• This is undoubtedly one of the 

 best grapes in the whole collection 

 of Arnold's hybrid grapes— a very 

 promising grape." Bunch large, 

 shouldered, very compact; herrii 

 above medium size, black with a 

 beautiful bloom, flavor excellent, very 

 sprightly and pleasant; skin thin, 

 seeds large, bearing nearly the same 

 proportion' to size of berry as in Clin- 

 ton; flesh melting, with very little. 

 if any, pulp — seems to burst in the 

 mouth; all juice, with a little acid 

 and astringency. Ripens with Con- 

 cord. A good market grape and "a 

 good keeper"; also valuable for 

 wine. 



Corporal. (Hi/br.) A cross between 

 Eumelau and Worden, originated by 

 D. S. Marwin, Watertown, N. Y. 

 Bunch and herry medium; loose; color 

 BLACK ; a showy, good grape. (Amer. 

 Pomol. Society. Report on New Fruits, 

 1881). It resembles Worden so much 

 that it sells for that variet}'^ and is 

 considered by some (?) as better even 

 in quality. In northern New York, 

 its native home, it is an abundant 

 fruiter and is an excellent shipper, 

 carrying well to market, but where 

 the vine mildews, to which it is in- 

 clined in places where this disease 

 prevails, it is of little value. Though 

 this may now be obviated, varieties 

 less sensitive to downy mildew will 

 still be preferred. 



Cortland. (Labr.) A seedling of ("oii- 

 cord crossed with Hartford, orifiinated by 

 M. F. Cleary, of CoHlaud, N. Y. aiid said 

 to be a very early, but also very inferior 

 grape. At South Haven, Mich, it pro- 

 duced (1893) a beautiful crop; even earlier 

 than Moore; the report 1894 of the Ex- 

 periment Station descrites it as large, 

 BLACK, quality blank. We suspicion that 

 it is the same or identical witu the next 

 following Courtland. 



Cottage. ( Labr.) A seedling of the 

 Coucord, raised by E. W. Bull, the origin- 

 ator of that variety. A strong, vigorous 

 grower, with remarkably large and leathery 

 leaves, and abundant strong, branching 

 roots ; hunch and berries about the size of 

 Concord, but of a somewhat darker shade ; 

 color BLACK with heavy bloom ; flesh pinkish, 

 flavor very pleasant, sub-acid when pulp is 

 broken ; skin thick with large seeds ; ripens

before Concord; quality better than the 

 parent, with less of the foxiness peculiar to 

 the other, l)ut also less suited to some soils 

 and localities than the Concord. In the 

 Bushberg vineyards it is giving better satis- 

 faction than most other l^abrusca varieties 

 while in some other localities it is not as 

 strong a grower nor as heavy a bearer as 

 Concord, and in some places even does poor- 

 ly, ripening unevenly, with many green and
