REQUA. (Rogers 1 28.) 



A fine table grape, supposed to be too late for Canada, but ripening well in the 

 Niagara district, a sample of the kind of grape which should be grown for export, but 

 the vine is scarcely productive enough to be profitable. 



ORIGIN: B. S. Rogers, Salem, Mass.; a hybrid between the Wild Labrusca, or Mam- 

 moth Pox grape, of Massachusetts, and a European variety. Mr. Rogers produced his 

 seedlings in 1856, and at first introduced them by their numbers only.

 juicy; flavor, sweet, sprightly; seeds, two or three, of medium size. 

 QUALITY: dessert, very good. 

 VALUE: first class for home or foreign market.
