 ductive. Free from rot and mildew. Thisis the earliest 

 and most perfect red grape we have ; much like Dela- 

 ware, but larger in bunch and berry. Vine hardier 

 and stronger in growth. 



Moyer. — A small red grape of good quality. Bunch 

 small, compact. A feeble grower, not aslarge in bunch, 

 or berry, nor as good in quality, as Delaware. 



Eureka. — A Delaware seedling. Bunch large, shoul- 

 dered, compact ; berry medium, tender, rich, sweet, 

 sprightly, vinous, pure as a European grape. A good 

 grower, hardy, healthy, productive ; free from rot and 

 mildew. More reliable than Delaware.

 grape ; good for early market and wine.

 quality ; hardy, healthy, vigorous and productive ; a

 and nearly as large in berry as Concord ; of better 

 quality than its parent. Hardy, healthy, vigorous, pro-
