44 EECOED OF IIOETICULTUKE. 



rich. It is a very handsome grape, and we hope will 

 imj^rove in quality in move favorable seasons. 



N'o. 8. — Bunch and berry small, about the size of the 

 Clinton ; black ; of a rich subacid flavor ; flesh, very 

 tender; seeds, small. In quality we consider this the 

 best, but may change our opinion another year. 



No. 16. — Bunch, medium to large, compact ; berry, 

 medium, nearly round ; color, black, with bloom ; flesh, 

 slightly pnlpy, rather acid, specimen evidently not fully 

 matured. Fig. 8 is a fair representation of the specimen 

 received from Mr. Arnold. Figured and described in 

 horticulturist for December. 



Arrott. — A new white grape, which promises well in 

 the vicinity of New York, also at the West. In quality 

 it is good, if not first-rate. 



AmcmdcL — From Missouri, where it is said to promise 

 well. 



Aughwich. — A new black graj^e from Pennsylvania, 

 resembling the Clinton, recommended for wine. 



Berks or Lehigh. — We received a vine of this variety 

 several years since, and this season it bore fruit, which, to 

 our taste, is very much like tlie Catawba. 



JjlacJc King. — Said to be a fox grape ; but the specimen 

 vines we received from a very reliable source, have per- 

 sisted in bearing Clinton grapes. 



Christine. — Tliis is also sent out under the name of 

 Telegraph ; the fii'st is, however, tlie right name ; so 

 say those who are presumed to know its history. It 

 promises to be a valuable wine grape, not only in this 

 country but in Europe, where it is now under trial.
