THE GRAPE IN KANSAS. 23 



Hayes. Bunch medium, cylindrical, shouldered; berry below medium size, 

 round, yellowish white ; pulp rich, juicy, vinous. [Nearly se*lf-sterile.] (Thomas.) 



Herbert (Rogers's No. 44). Berry medium, sweet, a little pulpy; bunch 

 rather loose; moderately productive. Blooms early. Ripens with Concord. 

 [Self -sterile.] (Thomas.) 



Herbemont (Warren Neal). Bunches large, compact, shouldered; ber- 

 ries small, round, dark blue or violet, with a thick, light bloom; skin thin; pulp 

 none, with a sweet, rich, vinous, aromatic juice. Vigorous grower. Tender at 

 the north. Succeeds well as far north as Cincinnati. (Thomas.) 



Herman Jaeger (Post Oak No. 1 X Herbemont). Growth very strong, 

 wood a little downy ; grows from cuttings fairly well ; endures the Texas climate 

 well and succeeds well at College Station; leaves large, deeply three- to five- 

 lobed, little cottony on under side; bunches large to very large, shouldered, 

 conical, very compact, peduncle short; berries small to medium, black, per- 

 sistent; skin thin, tough, does not crack; pulp tender, very juicy, easily freeing 

 the one to three medium seeds ; quality better than Concord. A profitable mar- 

 ket grape; prolific; ripens about a week later than Concord. Not attacked to 

 any extent by mildew, rot, or leaf -folder. (Munson.) 



Hicks (Irl R. Hicks). New, very hardy and healthy, of strongest growth, 

 large in bunch and berry, wonderfully productive, and of the finest 'quality ; su- 

 perior to all native grapes. Destined to be the great Concord of the twentieth 

 century. Propagated and described by Henry Wallis, Wellston, Mo. 



Ideal. This fine, red grape is one of Mr. Burr's seedlings of Delaware, and 

 is as large in bunch and berry as Concord, and is better in quality than Dela- 

 ware ; good grower, hardy, healthy, and very productive ; rots and mildews in 

 some localities ; this is no doubt the finest red grape, of large size, and wherever 

 it can be successfully grown is very desirable. (Sedgwick Nursery Company.) 



lona. Bunches large, shouldered, not compact; berries medium, round, 

 pale red, becoming dark red at maturity; flesh tender, with little pulp, and with 

 a rich, slightly vinous, excellent flavor. Peekskill, N. Y. Fails in most locali- 

 ties, and often much injured by overbearing. [Self-fertile.] (Thomas.) 



Ives. Bunch medium, compact, shouldered; berry rather small, roundish 

 oval, black, with some pulp ; of moderate quality. Origin, Cincinnati. Season 

 medium or rather late. (Thomas.) 



Janesville. An early, black grape, of moderate size, ripening with Hart- 

 ford; of rather poor quality. Western. Valuable only in cold regions. [Self- 

 fertile.] (Thomas.) 



Jefferson. Bunch rather large, shouldered, compact; berry full, medium 

 in size, roundish oval, light red, quality excellent; vine healthy and vigorous, 

 and very productive. Season medium. Raised by J. H. Ricketts, Newburg, N. Y. 

 [Self-fertile.] (Thomas.) 



Jessica. A small, early, white grape, a rather weak grower; cluster small; 

 berry sweet and good. Of no decided merit. [Self-fertile.] (Bulletin No. 92, 

 Kentucky Agricultural Experiment Station.) 



Jeivel. Seedling of Delaware ; the earliest and best grape of high quality, 

 fully tested; bunch medium, shouldered, compact; berry medium, skin rather 

 tough, slightly pulpy, sweet, rich, sprightly, vinous, of the best quality; vine not 

 vigorous until fully established ; free from rot and mildew ; will hang on the vine 

 long after ripe, and ships well. [Self -sterile.] (Thomas.)
