BUSHBERG CATALOGUE. 



Concord Muscat. Also grown from 

 Concord seed, by Geo. W. Campbell, of 

 Delaware. O., who gives the following de- 

 scription of it: " Bunch long, moderately 

 compact, sometimes shouldered; berries 

 very large, oval ; skin thin, rather opaque ; 

 seeds few and small ; color light, greenish 

 white with delicate bloom ; flesh entirely 

 tender and melting, with no pulp or as- 

 tringenc) r next the seeds; flavor rich, 

 sugary, slightly sub-acid, with the pecu- 

 liar high flavor which is the distinguishing 

 charm and excellence of the foreign Mus- 

 cats and Frontignans. There are really 

 few grapes among the most admired for- 

 eign kinds which equal this variety in 

 pure flavor and high quality. Vine very 

 vigorous; foliage large and moderately 

 thick ; resists mildew, except in very un- 

 favorable seasons. In this respect it is 

 better than Eumelan, Delaware, Clinton, 

 or Roger's Hybrids ; but not equal to Con- 

 cord." 



Cornucopia. (Arnold's Hybrid No. 

 2.) A seedling of Clinton crossed with 

 Black St. Peters. Vine much resembling 

 the Clinton in appearance, but superior 

 in size of berry and bunch, and greatly 

 superior in flavor ; a healthy grape and a 

 great bearer. The Paris Horticultural 

 Society reported on it as follows: " This 

 is undoubtedly one of the best grapes in 

 the whole collection of Mr. Arnold's Hy- 

 brid grapes; a very promising grape." 

 Bunch large, shouldered, very compact; 

 berry above medium size, black, with a 

 beautiful bloom, flavor excellent, very 

 sprightly, and pleasant; skin thin; seeds 

 large, bearing nearly the same proportion 

 to size of berry as in Clinton. Flesh melt- 

 ing, with very little pulp if any: seems to 

 burst in the mouth ; all juice, with a little 

 acid and astringency; ripens with Con- 

 cord. A good market grape, and " a good j 

 keeper." Also valuable for wine, but with us 

 not as good as Canada. 



Conqueror. A seedling raised by Rev. 

 Asher Moore, N. J. A cross between Concord 

 and Royal Muscadine. Early; bunches long, 

 loose, shouldered; berries medium, glossy black, 

 with a bloom ; flesh slightly pulpy, juicy, sweet. 

 Vine a free grower, hardy, healthy and prolific. 



Cuyahoga. Syn. WEMPLE. (Labr.} A chance 



seedling found and grown by Wemple, Collamer, 



Cuyahoga Co., O. Vine a strong grower, requires a 



CORNUCOPIA. 



warm, sandy soil and exposure to make it desirable at 

 the North, but when well grown it is of fine quality. 

 South it casts its foliage and ig not valuable. Bunch, 

 medium, compact; Jerry medium, dull, greenish amber 

 when fully ripe; flesh tender, juicy, rich vinous, sweet. 

 Ripens with the Catawba, or a little later. 



Croton. Hybrid cross between Delaware 

 and Chasselas de Fontainbleau, originated by 

 S. W. Underbill, of Croton Point, N. Y., bore 

 its first fruit in 1865. In 1868 and following 

 years, it obtained prizes at the N. Y., Penn- 

 sylvania and Massachusetts Horticultural Soci- 

 eties, and other grape exhibitions, attracting
