THE GRAPE. 



Manhattan. 

 Originated near New York. A poor bearer. 



Bunches small. Berries medium, round, greenish white, with a 

 bloom. Flesh sweet, rather pulpy. 



Marion. 



Origin unknown. 



Bunch large, compact. Berries roundish oval, purplish black, tough 

 centre, austere. Colors early, but ripens late. 



Martha. ^ * 



Raised by Samuel Miller, Bluffton, Mo. The habit of the vine is 

 much like Concord, but it has not yet been tested, as we think, sufficiently 

 to decide on its productiveness. 



Bunches medium, not very compact, shouldered. Berry large, 

 roundish, greenish yellow, with a bloom. Flesh similar to Concord, 

 perhaps a little sweeter. A promising new sort, ripening a few days 

 earlier than Concord. 



Mary. 



Raised by Charles Carpenter, Kelly Island. Yine hardy, strong 

 grower. Fruit ripens too late for the North. 



Bunch medium, moderately compact. Berries medium, round, 

 greenish white, with a bloom. Flesh tender, slight pulp, juicy, sweet, 

 brisk flavor. 



Mary Ann. 



Raised by J. B. Garber, Columbia, Pa. An early Grape, hardy. 

 Not equal to Isabella. 



Bunch medium, moderately compact, shouldered. Berry medium, 

 oval, black, pulpy acid, foxy. Ripens about with Hartford. 



Massasoit. 

 Sogers' No. 3. 



Raised by E. S. Rogers, of Salem, Mass. Yine moderately vigor- 

 ous, productive. 



Bunch medium, rather loose, short, shouldered. Berry large, round, 

 claret red. Flesh tender, juicy. Ripens before Concord. 



Maxatawney. 



Originated at Eagleville, Montgomery Co., Pa., in 1844. Yine 

 healthy, vigorous, hardy, and productive. Requires a warm situation at 

 the North, but Southwest proves one of the finest of White Grapes. _ 



Bunch medium, not generally shouldered, somewhat loose, occasion- 

 ally compact. Berries medium, roundish oval, greenish white, with an 

 amber tint when ripe. Flesh tender, not pulpy, very sweet and deli- 

 cious. Ripens last of September.
