THE GRAPE. 



inclining to oval, greenish white, or when fully ripe, yellowish. Flesh 

 acid, pungent, not desirable at the North, may be better South. Ripens 

 late. 0* 



Winslow. 



This originated in the garden of Charles Winslow, Cleveland, O. 

 The vine resembles Clinton, is hardy and productive ; the fruit matures 

 very early, and is less acid than Clinton. 



Bunch medium, compact. Berries small, round, black. Flesh red- 

 dish tinge, some pulp, vinous, sweet, juicy. 



Wyoming Red. 

 Hopkins Early Red. 



The origin of this Grape is uncertain. It is said to have been found 

 in the Wyoming Yalley, Pa. The leaf and wood are described as simi- 

 lar to Delaware, only more vigorous. The fruit is also similar in color, 

 but the berries are larger, and by some thought richer in quality. 



Another Grape has been described as Wyoming, the fruit of which is 

 black. We have not seen either of the above. 



York Madeira. 



Canby's August. Large German. Marion Port. 



Black German. Small German. German Wine. 



Wolfe. Monteith. Tryon. 



Supposed origin, York Co., Pa. Yine hardy, short-jointed, mode- 

 rately vigorous and productive. 



Bunch medium, compact, shouldered. Berry medium, roundish, 

 black, sweet, sprightly, pleasant. Colors early, but does not ripen quite 

 as early as Isabella. 



SELECTION OF VARIETIES. 



The Grape varies so much in its values when grown in different lo- 

 calities, that it is difficult to make a selection of varieties. The Concord 

 has proved almost universally successful, but is not a grape of high char- 

 acter. Wilder, or Rogers' No. 4, is a better grape, and so far a suc- 

 cess when grown. 



Delaware and Mottled are two sorts of fine quality, hardy vines, but 

 the Delaware especially requires rich soil and good cultivation. Rebec- 

 ca and Allen's Hybrid are varieties among the White Grapes, most valua- 

 ble, so far as tested, for private gardens. 



Adirondac, Iona, Isabella, Massasoit, or Rogers' No. 3, Crevelling, 

 Catawba, Isabella, Elsingburgh, Maxatawney, are valuable fruits, and 

 where they are found to succeed, and ripen well, should be freely planted.
