THE GRAPE. 145 



Niagara. This new white Lockport grape 

 is reported to be remarkable for its vigor, hardi- 

 ness, and productive qualities. The bunches are 

 of good size, rather long, compact, and attractive ; 

 quality good, becoming very good at the time 

 the Concord is ripe. Great confidence in the 

 intrinsic value of this variety has been shown by 

 careful observers, and the results of its speedy 

 trial will be watched with interest. 



Francis B. Hayes. Still another white 

 grape of excellent quality, and in the hands of 

 Colonel Moore, its introducer, it appears to be 

 healthy and productive, ripening a little later 

 than his Moore's Early. 



For culture under glass, Black Hamburgh is 

 the leading kind, to which may be added, for 

 black, St. Peter's, Black Prince, Black Muscat ; 

 and for late keeping, Lady Downe's and Trent- 

 ham Black. For light color, White Frontignan 

 and Grizzly Frontignan are hardy, uniformly pro- 

 ductive, and have a high musky flavor. Buck- 

 land's Sweet Water, Syrian, and White Nice 

 are also adapted to a cold house. Bowood Mus- 

 cat and Muscat of Alexandria have a rich Mus- 

 cat flavor, are very large and superb, but require 

 a higher temperature and a separate house for 



perfect development.
