Grapes in 1869. 345 



Diana. — In blossom June 20. Mildewed a little. Ripened unevenly. 

 A few rotten and shrivelled berries. Some large vines, covered with pine- 

 boughs, killed to the ground last winter. 



Diana- Hamburg. — Discarded. 



Dana. — Good growth ; slight mildew. No fruit. 



Eumelan. — My one vine, in a damp, shady place, grew pretty well, but 

 mildewed. 



Franklin. — Vigorous and rank. Needs long pruning, and is good for 

 nothing. 



Hartford Frolijic. — Ripened verj' unevenly, as did many bunches of 

 Concord. 



Hermann. — Slow grower. Wood very short-jointed. Healthy. 



lona. — Vine vigorous, healthy, productive, and free from mildew. Some 

 bunches were tolerably ripe by Oct. 10, but not so sweet as they should be. 

 At any time after the first of September, an eatable berry could be found 

 here and there ; but the main crop seems to get about one third or half 

 ripe, and then to "stick." 



Israella. — Moderate growth ; in some cases feeble, with mildew. 



jfanesville. — Moderate grower. Mildew on lower leaves. 



yosepJwte. — Slender growth, and badly mildewed. 



Logan. — Discarded. 



Martha. — A picture of vigor and health. N-o fruit. 



No7iantiim. — Moderate growth. Mildewed a little. 



North-Carolina Seedling. — Good, healthy vine. No fruit. 



Rebecca. — Grew six inches, and then mildewed. 



Rogers'' s 4. — Ripened well. 



No. 15. — This bore abundantly, and ripened perfectly. The 15 should 

 not be eaten till completely ripe ; and then I like it about as well as any 

 out-door grape. The vine must not be pruned too closely. 



No. 19. — I had larger bunches than ever before ; but I think, in quality, 

 it ranks below 4 or 15. • 



Salem. — A good healthy vine. No fruit. 



To Kalon. — Discarded. Utterly worthless. 



Una. — Cut down by frost. Good second growth. 



Union Village. — Healthy growth. Fruit almost ripe Oct. 7. As a freak
