NOMENCLATURE OF GRAPES. 213 



ADDITIONAL INDIGENOUS VINES. 



I have also received from different quarters, vines of a num- 

 ber of varieties said to be native, but of whose merits and 

 qualities, sufficient information is not possessed at present to 

 give more than a list of their names. Among these are the 

 following: Penniman's, Thompson's, Large Blue, Large 

 Fox of different varieties, Early white of two varieties, Sloe 

 and native Muscadine of several varieties, &c. These have 

 all been planted as specimen vines in my experimental vine- 

 yard. 



VARIETIES FROM SEED. 



In the summer of 1828, I published a circular soliciting 

 from persons residing in the various sections of our country, 

 the seeds of such native varieties of the vine as were found in 

 their respective vicinities. I received from all quarters of the 

 Union, considerable parcels of seeds, in some cases with short 

 descriptions, and in others without any. These were mostly, 

 in accordance with my requests transmitted by mail, an ex- 

 pense I have cheerfully submitted to as well in regard to these, 

 as to seeds of other interesting native productions. From the 

 various sources referred to, I have reared a numerous progeny 

 of vines, of the most interesting of which I here annex a list, 

 designating at the same time the State from which they were 

 received, together with the titles and descriptions which were 

 attached to them by the contributors.
