Triumph. 
DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES. 
Trinmph. (Campbell’s Concord Hybrid No, 
4.) Was justly pronounced by Samuel Miller, 
to whom Campbell confided this new variety 
(Syn., Joslyn’s St. Albans.) It has retained, 
the vigor and general habit of foliage and 
growth of its parent; its fruit, however, is 
‘wholly free from any vestige of coarseness or 
fox flavor, or smell. Bunch and berry are very 
e; color white, or, more correctly, pale 
green to golden-yellow, nearly Pete ai 
with delicate bloom; skin thin, no pulp; flesh 
sweet, meaty; i 
berries are apt to crack (like Elvira); small 
seeds and few of them; ripens later than Con- 
eord, nearly as late as Catawba, and on that 
account not recommended for the North or for 
any locality where the season is too short to 
ripen the Catawba or Herbemont, but the 
more valuable farther South; quality first 
rate; vine healthy and hardy, very productive 
and free from disease, sbi no rot when 
justified 
its name in our vineyards; itis by far the most 
attractive of all our white table grapes. Its

there were over 200 varieties on exhibition!

P. J. Berckmans, Augusta, Ga., writes us: 
“ Triumph is truly well named ; for ee

by his sister, Miss M. T. Munson, an excel- 
lent amateur artist, and kindly presented to 
us. The annexed illustration is an exact copy, 
slightly reduced in size, showing also partly 
two leaves, one upper and the other lower 
face. But, excellent as the engraving is 
—_ we had made for this Catalogue in the 
rated art establishment of A. Blanc, at 
Gibataphady it can give but a faint idea of 
the beauty of this most beautiful American 
grape. e Triumph has lately also been 
tested in France; it succeeds there and pleases 
very much, while the Concord; one of its 
parents, does not succeed at all, and displeases 
the French taste. 
T. V. Munson has a number of yearling 
hybrids between Triumph and Herbemont, of 
ber he expects to get something fine for the
