246 GARDENING FOR PLEASURE. 



Brighton. Color a rich copper red. Bunches large, 

 and of excellent flavor. Eipens in September. One of 

 the finest of red-colored grapes yet known. 



Niagara. So far believed to be the best white grape 

 for the table. It is medium early, ripening in September. 

 In flavor it is considered equal to the best of the foreign 

 grapes of the Chasselas class. A most abundant bearer. 

 See engraving (figure 77), taken from a photograph two 

 years after planting. 



Pocklington. Bunches and berries of large size. Color 

 greenish amber, occasionally tinged with pink. It is of 

 medium earliness, and good quality, but having a foxy 

 odor which is objectionable to some. 



Wilder. One of the Eogers's Hybrids. Bunch medi- 

 um, berries large, rich black. Flavor excellent. It ripens 

 in September, and is unsurpassed in all good qualities. 



Agawam. Color reddish bronze. Size of bunches and 

 berries medium. Eipens in September. This is another 

 of the Eogers's Hybrids, having a distinct and delicious 

 flavor, similar to some of the hothouse grapes. 



Salem. Color reddish bronze. Bunches and berries 

 large. Eipens in September, and again, like all the 

 Eogers's Hybrids, of excellent flavor. 



Martha. A strong-growing white grape. Bunches 

 and berries of medium size, borne in great profusion. It 

 is medium early and very handsome in appearance. 



Merrimack. Color deep black. Bunches and berries 

 large. Late, ripening in October. One of the Eogers's 

 Hybrids. Flavor excellent. 



The varieties named in this list have been selected 

 with a view to have fruit in succession from August to 

 October, and, besides, to have a selection of such -colors 

 as will be most desirable when dished on the table, 

 which, in the great variety of shades which we now 

 have in this delicious fruit, makes a most beautiful or- 

 nament.
