BUSHBERG CATALOGUE. 
was afterwards made’ to change its name to 
Christine, but did not prevail. Mr. Sam. Mil- 
ler, of Bluffton, says it is one of the most prom- 
ising of all the new EARLY grapes, and we con- 
sider it as far better than Hartford Prolific. 
Bunch medium, very compact, shouldered; 
berry medium, oval, black, with blue bloom; 
flesh juicy, with very little pulp, spicy and of 
good quality; ripens almost as early as Hart- 
ford Prolific. A constant and reliable bearer, 
but often lost by rot, especially in the South- 
west. Vine a healthy, vigorous grower, in rich 
soil. Roois $ very abundant, heavy, and remark- 
ably fibrous, with thick but rather firm liber. 
Canes stout, of average length, crooked at the 
joint, with the usual number of laterals. Wood 
hard with medium pith.

To-Kalon. Syn: Wyman, Sporrorp Sp1ie., 
Carter. (Labr.) Originated at Lansingburg, 
N.Y., by Dr. Spofford, and was at first supposed 
to be identical with the Calawhe, C. Downing 
showed that it was entirely distinct and at first 
highly recommended it for general cultivation, 
but soon afterwards found that it drops its fruit, 
is inclined to rot, does not ripen well, and mil- 
dews badly, and so stated; admitting, however, 
that “this grape is very fine, when you can get 
it.” Bunch medium to large, shouldered, com- 
pact; derries varying in form from oval to ob- 
late, nearly black in color, and profusely coy- 
ered with bloom; fiesh sweet, buttery and lus- 
ious, without foxiness in its aroma and with 
but little toughness or acidity in its pulp. An 
early but a shy bearer. 
"Ss or Tolman. (Zabdr.) 
Grown in Western New Puck: as an early mar- 
ket _, CLOSELY RESEMBLING 
Bunch medium to large, compact, unde: 
berry Gece reste adheres to the stem. Skin 
thick and firm; flesh sweet, juicy, somewhat 
pulpy, with slight foxy flavor; vine a very rank 
' color white; skin thin, no 
vigorous grower, perfectly hardy and healthy 
and very productive; said to ripen a week ear- 
lier than Hartford; quality not very good, yet 
by some preferred to Hartford. The same va- 
riety was said to have been sent out under the 
name of “Champion,” as a new variety, but its 
proprietor, R. J. Donnelly, of Rochester, claims 
that his ‘ Early Champion” is a new grape, ri- 
pening two weeks before the Tolman, or any 
other, and he is permitted to refer to Ellwanger 
arry, Hooker, and other high-standing Hor- 
ticulturists who have seen the grape growing. 
Triumph. (Campbell’s Concord Hybrid 
No.6.) Is pronounced by Mr. Samuel Miller, 
to whom Mr. Campbell confided this new vari- 
ety for testing and propagation in Missouri, as 
the most promising of all the white grapes. It 
is a cross between Concord and Chasselas 
Mosquee, (Syn. Joslyn’s St. Albans.) Like his 
Concord Muscat, it has retained, even more than 
this, 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 large; 
pulp; small seeds 
and few of them; ripens later than Concord, 
(Sept. 16, here,) 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 further South; quality first rate; 
vine healthy and hardy, very productive and 
free from disease, showing no rot when even 
Concord rotted more or less. He predicts a 
splendid career for this variety, and we ourselves 
wish and hope that its success may justify its 
name. 
Uhliand. A new seedling from the Louisi-

him the most hardy and prolific, and conse-

Una. (Labr.) A white seedling, raised by Mr. E. 
W. Bull, the originator of the Concord. Not as good 
nor as productive as Martha. Bunch and berry small, of
