No. 6 — Delaware. Bunch and berry small, and not a good keeper,

 general cultivation. Vine health}^ and hardy, and an early and 

 constant bearer. Requii'es rich soil and high culture. 



No. 7 — Diana. Rather late for Maine, but of fine quality, and 

 the best keeping variety. 



No. 8 — Eumelan. Has not given satisfaction in this State. 



No. 9 — Hartford Prolific. Early, hard}^ vigorous and produc-

 seded by earlier and better sorts. A free grower, and ha^•d3^
