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 — Adirondac. A feeble grower while young. Fruit free 

 from pulp, and of fine flavor. Needs further trial. Not uniformly- 

 reliable thus far. 



No. 3 — Agawam. Very handsome, and a good keeping variety. 

 Flavor rich, spicy and good. 



No, 4 — Black Hawk. A seedling of the Concord. Vine hardy 

 and vigorous. Bunches compact, shouldered. Fruit juicy and 

 sweet.
