Remarks. —2, 9, 11, almost free from fungous diseases; 1, 3, 4, 5, 10; 13, subject to fungous dis¬ 
eases in wet seasons; 7, 12, 14, subject to fungous diseases; 7, stars apply especially to the East Coast. 
Grapes. —In many locations throughout the State varieties (as indicated by the starring above) 
succeed well, and are grown for shipment to Northern markets as well as for local consumption and 
the manufacture of wine. 
For Market. —Delaware, Niagara, and Ives (only) have proved a success as shipping grapes for 
distant markets (when properly packed). Diamond, on account of its compactness and tendency to 
crack, does not stand long shipment. 
For Red Wine. —Cynthiana, Norton and Ives are the red-wine grapes of Florida, as they are 
the red-wine grapes of the United States. Especially is this true of the first two named; their juice is 
dark and rich in saccharine matter, and the wine made from these two grapes is said to possess great 
medicinal properties, owing to its large percentage of tannin. 
For White Wine. —Elvira, Delaware and Niagara are, among the varieties above named, the 
best grapes for white wine—especially dry wine. It is from Elvira that the famous San Luis Sau- 
ternes are made, which have established the reputation of Florida wines. Delaware is better adapted 
to the manufacture of sweet wine, and from Niagara a good dry wine can be made—much superior to 
tha article made from Northern grown Niagaras, our Florida Niagaras being almost entirely free from 
that foxy taste so prominent in all Northern Labruscas. 
European Varieties (V. vinifera.)—The U. 8. Department of Agriculture, Division of Pomo¬ 
logy, has established an experimental vineyard of European varieties, about 550 vines of 175 varieties
