AND WINE MAKING. 95 



vine IS healthy, hardy and productive ; a vigorous grower ; 

 berries and clusters medium large and well formed ; fla- 

 vor pure, sprightly, sweet and good. If it does as well 

 elsewhere as here, it will prove a valuable grape for gen- 

 eral use. 



WilT, named for its originator, the late Michael Witt 

 of Columbus, Ohio, is among the best of the v/hite Con- 

 cord seedlings. It has proven fully as hardy and healthy 

 as the Concord, not quite as vigorous in growth, but 

 quite productive. Berries large, oval ; skin rather thin ; 

 seeds few and small ; clusters medium to large ; pulp 

 tender; flavor rich, sweet, sprightly; quality good to 

 very good. Ripens early — a little later than Lady. It 

 is difBcult to propagate and is of slow growth until 

 established. 



CoLERAiN is another white Concord seedling, orig- 

 inating at Colerain, Ohio. The vine is healthy and vig- 

 orous, fairly productive ; clusters of medium size, early 

 and of fine quality. 



Duchess has not proved generally useful, though it is 

 prized in places where it can be successfully grown. 

 Here it is not hardy and is especially liable to mildew 

 and rot. 



Geeen^ Mountain, from Vermont, is a recent intro- 

 duction, promising to be valuable as one of the earliest 

 ripening grapes of fine quality. Vine is moderately vig- 

 orous and hardy. Cluster and berry medium, color 

 light green, quality fine. A grape known in some sec- 

 tions as Winchell is said to be the same variety. 



Moore's Diamond, originated by Jacob Moore of 

 Brighton, N. Y., highly commended generally, with me 

 has been too unproductive for profitable planting. It 

 seems as hardy as the Eogers' Hybrids or the Niagara, 

 with good foliage. 



Woodruff Eed is a large and attractive grape of the 

 Labrusca type and is said to be a Concord seedling. It
