Diana (possibly a labrusca-vinifera-aestivalis hybrid).—This is a seedling of the 
Catawba to which it bears a strong resemblance. The berries are somewhat irregular 
in size, rather light red, and are covered with a thin lilac bloom. 
Eumelan ( labrusca-vinifera-aestivalis hybrid).—The berries are black and glossy 
and are covered with an abundant lilac bloom. 
CLEVENER (possibly a labrusca-riparia-aestivalis hybrid).—The berries are black and 
rather glossy and are covered with a blue bloom. 
Rommel (labrnsca-riparia-vinifera hybrid).—The berries are light green with a 
yellow tinge, glossy, and are covered with a moderate amount of gray bloom. 
Elvira ( riparia-labrusca hybrid).—The berries are greenish, with a yellowish tinge, 
and are covered with a fair amount of gray bloom. 
Clinton {riparia-labrusca hybrid).—-The berries are dark purplish black to black, 
glossy, and are covered with a rather thick blue bloom. 
Ironclad or Diogenes ( riparia-labrusca hybrid).—The berries are small, jet black, 
glossy, and are covered with blue bloom. 
Franklin ( riparia-labrusca hybrid).—A minor variety, which is said to resemble 
the Clinton very closely. 
Cynthiana ( aestivalis-labrusca hybrid).—The berries are small and black and are 
covered with a moderate amount of blue bloom. 
Norton ( aestivalis-labrusca hybrid).—The berries are small and black, somewhat 
glossy, and are covered with a heavy blue bloom. 
Goethe (vinifera-labrusca hybrid).—This resembles to a marked degree the White 
Malaga grape of European fame. The berries are large, pale red, and are covered with 
a thin gray or slightly lilac bloom. 
Dutchess ( vinifera-labrusca hybrid, with possibly bourquiniana and aestivalis ).— 
The berries are pale yellowish green and are covered with a thin gray bloom. 
King Philip (a minor variety, considered to be a vinifera-labrusca-riparia hybrid).— 
The berries are purple. 
c. varieties which gave no reaction for methyl anthr anil ate 
Catawba ( labrusca-vinifera hybrid).—The berries are intermediate in size, dull 
purplish red, and are covered with a moderate amount of lilac bloom. 
Ulster {labrusca-vinifera hybrid).—The parents of this grape are said to be the 
Catawba pollinated by a wild aestivalis. The berries are dark dull red and are cov¬ 
ered with a thin, light to dark lilac bloom. 
Salem ( labrusca-vmifera hybrid).—The berries vary from large to medium, are very 
dark dull red, and are covered with a medium amount of blue bloom. 
HerbemonT {V. bourquiniana ).—The berries are reddish black or brown, with an 
abundant blue bloom. 
Nectar ( labrusca-bourquiniana hybrid, with possibly vinifera). —The berries are 
intermediate in size, dark purplish black, and are covered with a heavy blue bloom. 
Noah {riparia-labrusca hybrid).—The berries are small, light green tinged with 
yellow, and are covered with a thin gray bloom. 
Canada {riparia-labrusca-vinijera hybrid).—The berries vary from medium to 
small, are purplish black to black, glossy, and are covered with a heavy dark blue 
bloom. 
Berckmans {riparia-labrusca-bourquiniana hybrid).—The berries are intermediate 
in size, resemble the Delaware in color, and are covered with a lilac bloom. 
In connection with the preceding classification, which is based upon 
the occurrence or absence of methyl anthranilate, it has been deemed of 
interest to present a survey of the numerous varieties of the grape ex¬ 
amined by arranging them according to their botanical derivation. The 
variations respecting the occurrence of methyl anthranilate in the 
different botanical groups may thus readily be seen, and the relative 
amounts and the absence of the particular ester are indicated by the 
following signs: 4- -f indicates a strong reaction; 4 indicates a slight but 
distinct reaction; — indicates a negative result.
