THE GRAPE. 



541 



Bunch large, moderately compact, shouldered. Berry very large, 

 oval, yellowish green, often blotched with dull red. Flesh tender to 

 the centre, juicy, sweet, pleasant, slightly aromatic. 



Golden Clinton. 

 King. 



A seedling of Clinton, and resembles that variety, except in color of 

 fruit, which is yellowish white. Not as productive as Clinton. 



Graham. 



An accidental seedling, introduced by William Graham, of Philadel- 

 phia. 



Bunch of medium size, shouldered, not compact. Berry half an 

 inch in diameter, round, purple, thickly covered with a blue bloom, con- 

 tains little or no pulp, and abounds in juice of agreeable flavor. A 

 poor grower and bearer. 



Hall. 



A variety grown by David Hall, of XJrbana, O. Berries medium, 

 dark, almost black, better than Clinton, not equal to Isabella, but ear-

 not rich. Ripens with Concord. The other Hattie, or Hettie, is of un- 

 known origin. Bunch small. Berry black. Flesh somewhat pulpy,

 Herbemont's Madeira. Neil Grape.
