THE GRAPE. 



109 



54. Perkins. — Origin, Mass. Very early, resembling Diana. 

 Healthy and promising, for market. 



55. Salem. — Rogers' No. 53. This is a wide'y known new grape, 

 much praised. It is a cross between a native and tlie Black Ham- 

 burg, and is a very large berry on a large and well-sliaped bunch ; 

 color, light red, and quality very good. Like most of Rogers' 

 grapes, it is not quite har^y enough to take the place of the Con- 

 cord for genera! culture. In favorable positions, it is a very desir- 

 able grape, and should be widely placed on trial. 



56. Se ASQUA. — A Concor 1-Black Prince cross, from Underbill , 

 has some of the chamcteiistics of its foreign parent. Is regarded as 

 a valuable fruit for amateur culture, and not as reliable as the Con- 

 cord. 



The Walter.
