THE GRAPE. 



Lake. 

 Iden, 



Bunch and berry small, black, early, acid, harsh. 



Lenoir. 



This Grape takes its name from Lenoir Co., N. C. It has been con- 

 founded with Black July, but is distinct, as shown in foliage. The 

 foliage of this has lobed leaves. 



Bunch medium, compact, shouldered. Berry small, round, dark, 

 almost black. Flesh tender, vinous, juicy, sweet. A good variety 

 South, but too late in ripening for the North. 



Lindley. 

 Rogers' No. 9. 



Raised by E. S. Rogers, of Salem, Mass. Yine vigorous, very pro- 

 ductive. 



Bunch medium, rather long, compact. Berry medium, roundish, 

 red or reddish. Flesh tender, juicy, sweet, slightly aromatic. Ripens 

 a little before the Concord. 



Logan. 



Supposed origin, Ohio. Yine a moderate grower and bearer. 

 Bunches medium, shouldered. Berries roundish oval, black. Flesh 

 juicy, sweet, some pulp at centre. Ripens just after Hartford Prolific. 



Louisa. 



Raised by Samuel Miller, Calmdale, Lebanon Co., Pa. ; hardy, vig- 

 orous grower. 



Bunch medium, rather compact, occasionally shouldered. Berry 

 round, inclining to oval, black, with a blue bloom similar to Isabella, 

 and ripe a few days earlier. 



Louisiana. 



A variety from Louisiana, by some considered a native ; others say 

 it is foreign. George Husman says : 



" It can hardly be distinguished from the Rulander in appearance, 

 but has a more sprightly flavor. Ripens at the same time." 



Lydia. 



A chance seedling, originated on Kelly Island, and introduced by 

 Chas. Carpenter. Yine about with Isabella in growth and hardihood, 

 but not a good bearer. 



Bunches short, compact, roundish. Berries large, greenish white, 

 tinge of yellow when fully ripe. Skin thick. Flesh juicy, rich, sweet, 

 with very little pulp, and free of native aroma. Ripens with Delaware.
