Ozark. Dr. Stayman. A very large black grape 

 of unknown parentage. 



Paragon. John Burr. A large black grape, ripen- 

 ing with Concord, but claimed to be of better quality.

 pale yellowish white ; vine described as hardy and pro- 

 ductive in Missouri.

 of Delaware, but larger. The originator claims that it 

 is the best red grape in Kansas.

 for the South only. 



Pierce. Claimed to be a sport of the Isabella, 

 found on a vine in the grounds of J. P. Pierce, Santa

 ling of Martha, and better than its parent. Raised by
