250 NEBRASKA STATE HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Lady Washington. — Clusters of enormous size, greenish-white, and 

 lacking in quality ; vine of rampant growth, very productive, with 

 good foliage ; showy, profitable, poor. Late. 



Vergennes. — Purple or bronze; bunch and berry good sized; quality 

 extra fine; vine vigorous, productive; ripens early; especially valu- 

 able for its keeping qualities. 



Agawam, (Rogers' No. 15.) — Large; dark red; sweet, sprightly, 

 pleasant aromatic flavor; vigorous and productive. 



Perkins. — As early as Hartford ; pale red, with lilac bloom; sweet,, 

 fair quality ; better than Hartford ; very productive and healthy. 



Goethe, (No. 1 .) — This is, for the West, decidedly the best of all Mr. 

 Rogers' hybrids ; bunch medium, rather loose, shouldered ; berry very 

 large, oval ; very good already when yet white, when it resembles the 

 White Malaga ; pale red, with beautiful bloom when fully ripe ; thin 

 skin ; tender pulp; very juicy, sweet, and delicious, resembling Fron- 

 tignan in flavor ; ripens after Concord ; too late for the East or North 

 to be fully appreciated there, but exceedingly productive, vigorous,, 

 and healthy here, but should not be overtaxed when young, as, like 

 most of Rogers' hybrids, it is apt to overbear ; very fine for market 

 and table, and makes a delicious white wine. 



Concord. — Popular ; one of the most profitable and productive of 

 all hardy grapes; bunch and berry large; black, juicy, and sweet; 

 early, hardy. 



Martha, (White Concord.) — Large, pale yellow ; strongly resem- 

 bles the Concord in all points except color ; hardy and vigorous. 



CURRANTS. 



Red Dutch. — One of the oldest varieties; bush healthy and pro- 

 ductive ; berry medium, of good quality. 



Versailles. — A long, large-bunched currant; strong grower and large 

 clusters; red berries. 



Long Bunch Holland. — Not so strong a grower ; very prolific, with 

 fine clusters of fruit ; one of the very best. 



Victoria. — Rather later than the above; berry good size, remaining 

 for a long time on the bush after ripening ; canes strong and stocky. 



Fay's Prolific. — Recommended for trial as being remarkably hardy 

 and productive. 



White Grape. — Very large, yellowish-white, sweet or very mild
