for northern localities; but where it fully ri- 
pens, as here in Missouri, it is one of the finest 
of our native white grapes, much like the Eu- 
te Chasselas. Roofs slender, soft in 
liber. Canes light and of moder- 
ate length, with average number of laterals. 
Wood soft with a large pith. Vine healthy and 
hardy, needs no protection in winter, but not 
a strong grower nor very productive, and in 
bad seasons subject to mildew and rot; foliage 
large, deeply 
lobed. 
e recommend it only for garden caltate, in 
good rich ground. 
Medora. (#st.) A seedling of the Lenoir probably 
with the Croton, as the clusters from which the 
seed was taken m a Lenoir vine interlaced 
with the branches of a ana vine in Onderdonk’s 
experimental vineyard. - a Cone, an old 
£ Onder- 
donk, living about ae below Sedu rex., 
towards the Gulf, voeead planted that seed, and se- 
lected this one as the most promising of those seed- 
_ Tings. The foliage is tke the Lenoir, i eerept that its 
little or which is 
almost characteristic in the Len oir: the jena are 
white, — round, translucent enough to see th 
f delicious flavor— 
Onderdonk thinks this will seowe € die happiest 
eS ~ — since the -*~pas 
Herbemont and Lenoir; he is now propagating it, and 
i ose the name Mepora, being that of a daughter 
of Dr. Coc
