There were a few small, poor-shaped bunches ; berry small, black, 
sweet, pulp melting. In other sections the variety might prove a 
success. 
Senasqua {Hybrid ).—This variety makes a fair growtli, slioots 2 
to 3 feet, wood stocky, ripens after Concord, bunch long, loose, berry 
large, thick skinned; too late here. 
Telegraph {Labrusca). —Vine a fairly good grower, shoots 4 to 5 
feet, stocky. Its season is second early, ripening a few days after 
Moore’s Early, bunch of medium' size, compact, berry smaller than 
Concord, black with a deep bloom, sweet and of fair flavor, though 
inferior to Concord ; a good variety for home use, where the season 
is short. 
Wilder {Rogers No. If,—Labrusca X. Vinifera—Rogers Hybrid ).— 
Vine a slow, weak grower, shoots not over 1 foot long, wood slender. 
Its season is a few days later than Concord, bunch of good size, 
berry large, black ; so far it has not been productive. 
Worden {Labrusca). —A valuable grape of the Concord class, 
and nearly identical with that variety, but ripens four or flve days 
earlier. The vine is a good grower, shoots 4 to 5 feet, wood close- 
jointed and stocky, productive, bunch of good size, quite compact, 
often shouldered, berry large, black with a deep blue bloom, qual¬ 
ity good ; altogether, the Worden is preferable to Concord. 
RED VARIETIES. 
Agawam {Roger’s No. 15—Labrusca X. Vinifera — Roger’s Hy¬ 
brid ).—By many this is considered one of the best of Roger’s hy¬ 
brids. Here the variety succeeds very well; it is a strong, stocky 
grower, shoots 2 to 3 feet, ripens a few days after Concord; bunch 
long, loose, berry large, round,' red, quality good. The variety is 
fairly productive, and should be included in every collection. 
Amber {Riparia X. Labrusca). —A medium variety in time of 
ripening. It is a strong grower, some shoots 8 feet long, stocky, 
farly productive, bunch long, loose, berry smaller than Concord, 
sweet, and of good quality. There are others of the class in the list 
more desirable. 
Amber Queen {Labrusca X. Vinifera ).—This is a second early 
variety, ripening a few days after Moore’s Early; vine a good 
grower, some shoots 5 feet, stocky, bunch small, berry smaller than 
Concord, red or amber, skin thin and tender, sweet and of good 
quality. This variety is worthy of a place in any collection, but 
would not recommend it as a profitable sort for market. 
Brighton {Labrusca X. Vinifera — Concord Hybrid ).—A second 
early variety, ripening a few days after Moore’s Early, and has 
proved here to-be one of the very best red grapes among the vari¬ 
eties under test. The vine is a good grower, ripens its wood well.
