 duced by D. Mundy, Colerain, Ohio. Very promising:

 dant bearer ; very early but hangs well to the vine ; 

 bunches shouldered, medium, as are the berries, which 

 are light green with delicate bloom ; skin thin ; very 

 juicy' and sweet yet vinous; generally but one seed to 

 each berry. 



Diamond {Labrusca). — Cross between Concord and 

 lona, produced by Jacob Moore, of New Yorlc. Vigor- 

 ous grower, retaining its leaves well, whiclfare large and 

 light green. Bunch large, moderately compact, shoul- 

 dered ; berry about the same size as Concord, adhering 

 well to the bunch ; greenish white, with yellow tinge ; 

 flesh melting and juicy, sweet, free from foxiness. Very 

 hardy, and has produced good crops for ten consecutive 

 years. Considered superior to all the older white grapes. 



Duchess. — Cross between a white seedling of Concord 

 and Delaware, or Walter, by A. J. Caywood & Son, 

 Marlboro, N. Y. Bunch medium to }arge, long, shoul- 

 dered; berries medium, white, transparent, juicy, fine 

 quality; ripens about with Concord. In its original 

 habitat it is hardy and healthy, a strong grower, and pro- 

 ductive ; keeps and ships well. 



Early Ohio.— Originated with R. A. Hunt, Euclid, 

 Ohio. A chance seedling, which attracted attention by 

 its early ripening. Earliest of all, ripening a week be- 

 fore Moore's Early and three weeks before Concord, and 

 consequently brings the highest price in the Cleveland 

 market. Bunch medium, shouldered ; berry black, 

 round, somewhat smaller than Concord, firm in texture ; 

 flavor spicy, pleasant ; hangs well to the stem, and 

 therefore ships well.
