sub-acid than sweet, with very little if any of 

 the " foxy" odor. It is about ten days earlier

ANNA. 



The Anna originated with Mr. Eli Has- 

 brouck, of Newburgh. It is a seedling of the 

 Catawba. It is hardy, and a good grower 

 The bunch is large, moderately compact, and 

 shouldered. The color is green in the shade, 

 covered with a thick pearly bloom, and dotted 

 with claret ; but in the light it becomes bright 

 amber. The berry is large, round, with a mod- 

 erately thick skin. The flesh is somewhat 

 meaty, and has a fibrous center, which is veiy 

 tough and acid when only partially ripe ; but 

 when fully mature, the juice is sweet and vin- 

 ous with a pure and spicy muscat flavor. It 

 begins to ripen early, but does not reach ma- 

 turity till the end of the season. Like its 

 parent, it is disposed to rot in unfavorable 

 seasons, and is not adapted to general cultiva- 

 tion.

Rogers '# Hybrids originated with Mr. Rogers 

 of Salem, Mass. Much interest attaches to 

 these seedlings, though we can not accept the 

 idea of their being hybrids as fully established
