DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES. 
Concord Chasselas. 85 
McDonaxp’s ANN ARBOR, originated with A. 
McDonald, Ann Arbor, Mich., in 1877, from 
strong grower, perfectly hardy and healthy. 
Bunch very large, shouldered; berry extra 
large. 
New HAVEN, by J. Valle, of New Haven, Mo., 
medium, of very good quality. Deserves to 
be better known. 
The Paxton, by F.-F. Merceron, of Catawissa,

Concord; claim 
than its parent, and a splendid bearer. 
Storm Kingé, originated by E. P. Roe, Corn- 
wall, on the Hudson, N.Y.; is a sport of a 
Concord vine, said to bear since many years 
large, heavy-shouldered bunches resembling 
pec in every respect, but with berries

YounG AMERICA, by Sam. Miller, of Bluffton, 
quite resembles Concord. 
See also CorraGE (page 86) and UNA (white), 
raised by E. M. Bull, himself, from 
of his Concord—its grandchildren, as it were. 
By these experiments it was found that the 
Concord shows a strong tendency to produce 
white seedlings, of which Martha was the ear- 
liest, and became one of the leading varieties. 
Eva and MAcEpont4, both raised by Sam. 
Miller ain Concord seed, were similar to - 
tha, and therefore abandoned by him; though 
in some localities, as about Louisville, the 
Eva io Martha.

Among the many pure Concord seedlings 
claimed to have better qualities than the pa- 
rent and to prove of great value, is also that

stem, and the committee on new native fruits 
of the Am. Pomol. Society,1881, pronounced it 
too acid. The sample then exhibited may not 
have been fully ripe.

Conqueror is doing remarkably well, proves 
less subject to rot than any other hybrid ; nor

cultivation.
