256 THE GKAPE CULTUBIST. 



Annie M. A chance seedling from Tennessee, 

 With greenish-white fruit, and claimed to be earlier than 

 Concord. 



August Giant (Hyb.). N. B. White, Norwood, 

 Mass. Supposed to be a hybrid between Marion and 

 Black Hamburg. Fruit large and of a purplish color. 

 It is doubtful if a variety of such a parentage will prove 

 to be of any value for open-air cultivation. 



Bailey (Hyb.). Munson. Fruit black, claimed 

 to be valuable as a wine grape. 



Beacon (Hyb.). Munson. Berries large, and of 

 a red color. 



Bay State. Origin unknown, or kept secret; said 

 to be a hybrid. Berries red. 



Beagle (Hyb.). Munson. Bunch and berry 

 small, or medium ; skin thick and black. 



Berckmans (Hyb.). Raised by the late Dr. A. P. 

 Wylie, Chester, S. C. Described as of medium size, and 

 of a pale red color. Dr. Wylie raised a large number of 

 seedlings, mainly from foreign varieties, several of which 

 I tested a few years ago, but found none worth culti- 

 vating here, although they may have proved valuable in 

 the South. 



Berlin. Raised by Geo. Hosford, Ionia, Mich. A 

 seedling of Concord, with large greenish-white berries, 

 ripening about the same time as its parent. 



Bertha. A small white grape from Illinois, of 

 which little is known. 



Bertrand. ^-Originated with Hon. J. B. Jones, 

 Henderson, Ga. A bluish-black grape of medium size, 

 very sweet, with a kind of elderberry flavor. Probably 

 valuable for the South. 



Big Extra (Hyb.). Munson. Large, black, with 

 tender red pulp. 



Big Hope. Same origin as the last, but berries 

 only of medium size.
