DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES. 237 



said to be a good and productive variety in some localities ; 

 if so, then change in location can work a more wondrous 

 change in quality than we have ever given it credit for. 



PERKINS. 



One of the varieties received under this name has proved 

 to be the Isabella ; and the other is a small black fox grape 

 of no value. 



RULAND, OR RULANDER.

ST. CATHERINE.

 bunches and berries are very large and handsome, and the 

 berries adhere to the bunch quite firmly for one of its class. 

 They are quite sweet, with considerable toughness in the 

 pulp, and a strong foxy flavor. Vine hardy, vigorous, and 

 productive. 



TO KALON. 



A very large and really beautiful grape. The color is 

 dark mahogany, approaching a black when fully ripe. The 

 fruit is so uncertain, being subject to rot, that in this

 will succeed very well, and in other localities it may prove 

 to be more certain.

Raised by Dr. A. K. Underbill, Charlton, Saratoga

 at the American Agriculturist office, 41 Park Row, New 

 York, Oct., 1863. From notes made at the time I take
