DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES. 215 



tough center, good flavor; unproductive, and 

 ripens late.

 under peculiarly favorable conditions.

 scarcely distinguishable from the Lenoir.

 ple color, large, round berry, with the flesh and 

 odor of the wild grape.

 Arkansas. It has the flesh and odor character- 

 istic of the wild grape.

 Northern Muscadine, Dracut (so-called) Amber, 

 TTnderhilPs Seedling, Perkins, Sage, Massachu- 

 setts White, Miners Seedling, et id omne genus, 

 may be disposed of in a few words as unmiti- 

 gated " foxes " from the woods. 



There are several seedling grapes that have 

 either just been given to the public, or probably 

 will be, in regard to most of which but little is 

 known. 



It is much to be regretted that we have not 

 eome means by which seedlings could be thor- 

 oughly tested in various parts of the country
