78 Fruit Culture. 



I firmly believe that this will prove to be the best black 

 grape yet introduced into Colorado. 



Pocklington (see plate). Will succeed where the Con- 

 cord does. It is the most popular of all the new varieties, 

 of hardy grapes. It is claimed that it has never been in- 

 jured by cold, although it has stood a temperature of 34 

 degrees below zero. 



Prentiss A splendid white grape. Vine a good grower, 

 very productive, hardy, buds having stood uninjured with 

 thermometer fifteen to twenty degrees below zero. An ex- 

 cellent keeper. Ripens with the Concord. Is well worthy 

 to be classed among the best. 



Vergennes An amber-colored grape; clusters large,, 

 flavor rich and delicious ; ripens with Hartford Prolific; ex- 

 cellent keeping qualities. Vine hardy, a strong, rapid 

 grower ; has been known to make fifteen feet of wood in a 

 season. This grape possesses many good traits and is 

 worthy of an extended trial in Colorado. It is claimed that 

 two-year vines generally fruit the next season after trans- 

 planting, which is worthy of great consideration, if true. 



Warden Fast growing into favor in Colorado. One 

 of the best new grapes of the Concord variety. Large in 

 bunch and berry ; very handsome ; in every way superior 

 to the Concord ; earlier and more hardy and vigorous. 

 Ripens with the Hartford. I heartily recommend it for 

 Colorado.
