Darwin. {yE.st.X) A seedling of Delaware 

 crossed with some vigorous ^stivalis by Dr. J. 

 Stayman, who, when he tirst exhibited some of 

 its fruit, called it Eurpka ; but finding that there 

 is an old Isabella seedling long known under this 

 name, he wisely changed it, before being dissemi- 

 nated, to the name of the great evolutionist; this 

 grajje being a marked example of his theory. 

 The vine of this one is vigorous, hardy, healthy 

 and productive; its foliage is strongly of the 

 ^Estivalis type. Bunch large, double shouldered, 

 compact, handsome; berry ked, medium in size, 

 tender, juicy, vinous, sweet; qualitj' best: ripens 

 with Delaware, Our friend Sam Miller pro- 

 nounces it one of the rer>i best.
