Remarks on the List of Grapes. 



No 1 — Allen's Hybrid. A luxuriant grower and abundant 

 bearer, and when well ripened one of the most delicious varieties 

 of the Sweetwater class ; but rather too late to be recommended 

 for general culture in this State. 



No. 2 — Agcvwam. Very handsome, and a good keeping variety. 

 Flavor rich, spicy and good. 



No. 3 — Clinton. Fruit small, late and harsh. Valuable only for 

 wine. Vine hardy. Not recommended. 



No. 4 — Concord. A free grower, and bears heavily, but does 

 not generally mature its fruit in this State. 



No. 5 — Creveling. Of excellent quality, not rich, but entirely 

 free from foxiuess. Mildews badly in some localities.
