346 CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 



"flavor all that can be desired." Not yet proved, but 

 will probably be rather late. My own vines have been 

 inclined to mildew. 



SYNONYMES, AND VARIETIES OF LESS VALUE, OK DE- 

 SIGNED FOR SPECIAL LOCALITIES. 



Alexander. Large, black, tough pulp, with some foxi- 

 ness; rather late. 



Aiken. Same as Isabella. 



Albino, or Albiness. A worthless large white grape. 



Allair. A worthless red grape. 



Alvey. A Southern grape, but hardy at the North, 

 ripening in the latter part of September. Berries small, 

 vinous, without pulp. 



American Hamburg. A large black and poor fox 

 grape. 



Amber Catawba. Said to resemble, but is earlier and 

 more musky than, its parent. 



Anna. Introduced by Dr. Grant. Bunches and ber- 

 ries large, white, rich Catawba-flavor, with a tough pulp ; 

 vine not healthy, and fruit too late for any latitude north 

 of Washington.
