Clinton and foreign Golden Chasselas. Promising for an amateur 

 grape. 



29. Barry. — Another of Rogers' Hybrids, and very promising. 

 Of medium size, black, tender, and sweet. Vine quite hardy and 

 productive. Ripens before the Concord, 



30. Belvidere. — Origin, iSelvidere, Illinois. Thought to be a 

 seedling of the Hartford, on which it is an improvement in quality 

 and hardines-!.

 their names indicate, crosses of the Concord with foreign grapes,
