This variety is one of the most esteemed for the vinery. In 

 sheltered locations, out of doors, in cities south as far as Cincinnati, 

 it does well with protection in winter. A good bearer.* Bunches, 

 large, shouldered on both sides ; berries, very large, roundish inclin-

 ripe ; of sugary rich flavor.

 very thick, flesh firm, nearly or quite equal to the common Ham- 

 burgh. 



Allen's seedling Black Hamburgh, is of less value, bunches not as 

 large, berries, black, oval. Victoria, heretofore regarded as a syn-
