and is productive, bunches long, quite compact, berries some 
smaller than Concord, round, dark purple, sweet, and of good qual¬ 
ity. A sort that will give general satisfaction. 
Barry {Roger’s No. J/,3 — Hybrid). —Vine a good strong grower, 
shoots 4 to 5 feet long, quite productive, ripens about with Concord, 
buncli long, compact, berry large, red, thick skin, pulp melting, of 
a very pleasant flavor. The variety is worthy of trial. 
Dracut Amber (Labrusca). —This is a poor-growing, unproduct¬ 
ive variety, ripening with Concord, bunch of medium length, rather 
loose, berry smaller than Concord, dark amber, sweet with a very 
pleasant flavor, pulp meaty; the berries will dry upon the vines before 
dropping. The variety does not possess any desirable qualities 
that would recommend it to the public. 
Delaware {Labrusca X. Vinifera). —The vine of this variety has 
made a poor, slender growth the past two seasons, some shoots 2 
feet and over, bunch small, fairly compact, berries small, red, of fine 
flavor, but so far has not proved productive ; worthy of a place in 
any collection. 
Iona {Labrusca X. Vinifera) —This has been a poor, weak grower 
here, some shoots 2 feet long, but slender. Its season is after Con¬ 
cord, bunch of medium size, loose, berry small, red, sweet, and of 
good flavor. The variety is not desirable for this part of the State, 
on account of its lateness. 
Norfolk {Labrusca). —This is a remarkably strong growing va¬ 
riety, shoots 6 to 8 feet, very stocky, productive, ripens with Con¬ 
cord, bunch of good size and fairly compact, berry large, red, and 
of good flavor ; worthy of trial. 
Perkins {Labrusca). —A variety ripening with Concord ; this year 
the vine made a poor, weak growth, and produced only a few ill¬ 
shaped bunches. The berries are smaller than Concord, red or am¬ 
ber, with thick skin. The variety can not be recommended. 
Ulster Prolific {Labrusca X. Vinifera). —A variety ripening after 
Concord, vine a moderate grower, shoots 2 to 3 feet, bunches of 
medium size, loose, berry smaller than Concord, red, flavor good. 
The variety is too late for this part of the State. 
Vergennes {Labrusca). —Vine a poor grower, not productive, 
bunches small, loose, berry smaller than Concord, red or amber, 
sweet, and of good flavor. Its season is a little later than Concord, 
which makes it too late for this part of the State. 
Woodruff Red {Labrusca). —This is only an ordinary grower, but 
quite productive, ripening after Concord. The season here is not 
long enough for its perfect maturity; bunches large, compact, berry 
about the size of Concord, light red, and of a very pleasant flavor. 
This variety will no doubt prove valuable where the season is 
longer. '
