Grape (Mason's Seedling Grape). Raised from seed by Mr. 

 Mason, a gardener, at Charleston, Mass. Said to have been pro- 

 duced by crossing the Scarlet Rockingham and Bed Antwerp, 

 and -to resemble the Scarlet Antwerp in fruit and plant, but to be a 

 better bearer, with racemes or bunches of fruits like grapes, 

 whence its name. This name seems to have appeared in various 

 places. Quite likely it may have been applied to different plants 

 at different times'T

 Hudson in its most successful days.

 F. W. Huntsman, of Flushing, N. Y., who grew many seedlings, 

 hoping to gain a hardy variety equal to the more tender kinds.

 in this direction, while retaining the good quality of its parent.
