DESOEIPTION OF VAEIETIES. 221 



standard vine grape of the country, but owing to its un- 

 certainty on account of the rot, it is now in many sections 

 being discarded, and other and more reliable kinds being 

 planted instead. It was never a favorite in the Eastern 

 States, .owing to its lateness in ripening. In localities 

 where it will fuUy mature, and is not affected with rot, 

 there are very few better varieties. Bunches medium to 

 large, rather . loose, shouldered. Berries large, round. 

 Skin thick, deep red, covered with a hlac bloom. Flesh 

 pulpy, sweet, with a rich, vinous, and somewhat musky 

 flavor. Vine vigorous and productive. 



CUYAHOGA. 



This is supposed to be an accidental seedling, found and 

 introduced to notice by a Mr. "Wemple, of CoUamer, Cuya- 

 hoga County, Ohio. It has been considerably distributed 

 in the last five or six years, but its real character has not 

 been fuUy ascertained ; a large portion of the vines appear 

 to be more or less spbject to mildew, and the fruit is 

 rather late in ripening. Some four years since I received 

 a variety from Cincinnati, under the name of Coleman's 

 White, which has proved to be the same as Cuyahoga. 

 Whether there is a distinct variety called Coleman's, or 

 that it is only another name for Cuyahoga, I have not been 

 able to ascertain. Bunches medium, shouldered, compact. 

 Berries medium to large, roimd, covered with a very thin 

 bloom. Pulp tender, juicy, and sweet, but little flavor, not 

 rich. Color, pale greenish white. _ Wood short jointed, 

 and the vine a strong and vigorous grower "when not at- 

 tacked by mildew. Ripens first of October. 



DELAWARE. 



This grape is supposed to have originated in the garden 

 of Paul H. Provost, in Kingswood Township, Hunterdon
