 and productive. It is said to ripen two weeks before the Concord, but did not 

 this season (1884) with us. 75 cents. 



Elvira— A white grape of medium size, highly esteemed for wine in Missouri. It 

 may be valuable at the East for a similar purpose, but the fruit sets so closel}^

 loose; berry medium to large, round; skin deep yellow, with bloom; flesh soft, 

 melting, juicy, sweet. Very early. Vine vigorous, moderately productive."

 of value farther south or in favored locations. 50 cents. 



Imperial — From lona, crossed with a Muscat variety. Described as follows: bunch 

 large; berry large, white with bloom; excellent quality; vine vigorous and 

 hardy. Ripe with Isabella. 50 cents. 



Jefferson (Rickett's)— (Concord X lona). Bunch medium, shouldered, compact; 

 berry medium to large; skin thick, light red, covered with bloom; flesh meaty, 

 tender, sprightly, rich, fine quality. Vine vigorous, healthy. So far this grape 

 promises fairly, but as it will, perhaps, ripen with the Catawba here, it may not 

 be of much use for us. It deserves careful trial however. 50 cents.

 berry of medium, or small size; color yellowish green, mellowing to a clear

 able farther South. 50 cents.

 as averaging larger than Delaware, and to be of finer quality; vine resembling 

 Delaware in wood and foliage, but a much better grower, and it is said succeeds 

 where the Delaware will not. Ripens early. $2.00.
