where they fully ripen they are hardly to be surpassed for 

 making light delicate wine. 



LOGAN. 



This grape was, on its introduction, supposed to be a 

 great acquisition, and sold rapidly at an enormous price ; 

 but it has sadly failed to meet public expectation, being of 

 only second quality. Bunches medium, shouldered, com-

 of J. Knox, of Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. I am indebted to 

 Geo. Husmann for the following description, which he made
