strong, somewhat rusty and woolly 
oie lower side. Since it has been castichaad 
that the Taylor is itself a cross betwee 
Riparia and Labrusca, the characteristics of 
the Elvira are fully explained byits parent- 
age. (See page 20.) 
The Elvira makes a very good white wine, 
and is now extensively grown for this pur- 
pose, but is unfit for marketing on account 
of its thin, easily-bursting skin. This dis- 
position to crack and a tendency to over- 
bear, thereby injuring the health and vigor 
of the vine for future years, made its origin- 
ator wish to produce some still better grape, 
without these faults ; and he may have sue- 
ceeded in his “ Etta.”
