Beta — A medium sized black grape, quite 
acid but of good quality. Early, prolific 
and healthy. It is valuable chiefly for 
its hardiness. It is hardy without pro- 
tection far into Minnesota, and on this 
account it is especially valuable for ar- 
bors where the large varieties are a 
little too tender. 
ririKhton — Red; large, sweet and delicious. 
Should be planted with other varieties 
to secure pollination. Requires protec- 
tion. 
CnmiiheH'M Rnrly— Black ; very sweet, 
juicy and good. This variety does not 
seem to be adapted to this part of the 
country. In our vineyard the vines have 
not paid for themselves and do not 
promise to do so.
