CULTURE OF THE GRAPE. 349 



Early Amber. Similar to the last ; berries drop. 



Early Hudson. Berries round, black, of medium size, 

 often seedless ; of third quality. 



Elizabeth. Originated on the farm of James Hart, 

 near Rochester, N.Y. Resembles the Isabella in size and 

 form, but of a greenish-white color, and thought to be of 

 better flavor by the editor of " The Rural New-Yorker." 



El Paso. Foreign varieties, or Mexican and Califor- 

 nia seedlings from the foreign, are sent out indiscrimi- 

 nately under this name. 



Elsinburg. Originated in a town of this name in 

 New Jersey. Bunches large, long, loose, shouldered ; ber- 

 ries small, black, with a blue bloom ; skin thin ; flesh melt- 

 ing, sweet, sprightly, and vinous. Ripens Oct. 1. 



Emily. Two kinds have been sent out under this 

 name ; one a foreign seedling, and the other a worthless 

 frost-grape, having remarkably fine foliage. 



Fancher. Found by Mr. F. B. Fancher, of Lansing- 

 burg, N.Y., where it succeeds well, and is equal to the 

 Catawba, if not superior. The Catawba will not ripen so 

 far North. 



Framingham. Resembles, but is scarcely as desirable 

 as, the Hartford.
