Most Available List of Common Varieties of Grapes, for North and South 



This shows the South with Uttle more than half the available time suppHed with grapes, 

 and then, when we remember that only some four or five of the varieties named are adapted to 

 the climate, while the others are of ordinary or poor quality, and not a variety in the list without 

 some serious defect, we come to understand the vast work yet to be done by originators of new 

 krarieties of grapes.
