BARKY. (Rogers' No. 43.) 



Barry. (Rogers' No. 43.) One of the most at- 

 tractive of Rogers' Hybrids, "as handsome as 

 the Black Hamburg." Bunch large, rather broad 

 and compact, short; often larger than repre- 

 sented on the annexed engraving ; berry large, 

 roundish ; color black ; flesh tender, of a sweet, 

 pleasant flavor ; skin thin, somewhat astrin- 

 gent. Vine as vigorous, healthy and hardy 

 as any one of Rogers' Hybrids. Very suc- 

 cessful in western New York and some other 

 localities. Very productive and early, earlier 

 than the Concord, and keeps remarkably well. 

 In this respect as well as in quality the 

 Rogers' Hybrids possess a great advantage 

 over the Concord. 



Baxter. (^Est.) Bunch large and long ; berry 

 below medium, black ; very late in ripening, hardy 



and productive ; not fit for table, but may be valuable 

 for wine. Bluffton Wine Co.'s Catalogue. 



Beauty of Minnesota. (Labr. X) Originated 

 (or introduced only) by J. C. Kramer, of La Crescent, 

 Minn. Described by him as a Seedling of Delaware 

 crossed with Concord ; a good grower and healthy ; 

 bunch equal to Concord, but more compact; berry 

 greenish yellow when ripe and of rich flavor ; recom- 

 mended by him, and endorsed by many testimonials 

 as the best grape for the climate of Minnesota, ripen- 

 ing there by the 1st of September. Not sufficiently 

 tried elsewhere. 



Bird's Kg??. (Labr.) Probably a seedling of Ca- 

 taba, somewhat similar to Anna. Bunch long, pointed ; 

 berry oval, whitish, with brown specks ; flesh pulpy ; 

 only good ; a curiosity. Downing.
