WHITE OR GREEN GRAPES. 
Eldorado [Hybrid). —A variety ripening three or four days after 
Moore’s Early. The vine is a remarkably strong, stocky grower, 
bunches long, somewhat loose, berry about the size ot Concord, of a 
greenish color with a golden tinge, skin thin, pulp melting, sweet 
and of good quality. The variety is productive, and altogether a 
desirable light grape either for home use or for market. 
Elvira {Riparia Jl. Labrusca). —A remarkably strong, vigorous 
grower, and very productive, some shoots 8 to 10 feet long. It ripens 
with Concord ; bunches short and very compact, berry smaller than 
Concord, greenish white, sweet, though of poor flavor. For jellies 
and preserves the fruit is all right, but for market it has no value. 
Empire State {Riparia X. f). —This variety has made a jDOor, 
slender growth, some shoots 2 feet long. Its season is about with 
Concord. The few bunches obtained were small and straggling, 
berry smaller than Concord, white, and of good flavor. While the 
variety has not done well here, in more favorable localities, it might 
prove good. 
E. B. Hayes {Labrusca). —A variety ripening a few days before 
Concord, vine a poor grower, and so far has been unproductive; 
bunches small and loose, berry small, straw-color, sweet, and of fine 
flavor. There are other white grapes in the list much better. 
GreiEs Golden {Riparia X. .^)—The vine a strong grower, and 
fairly productive; bunches long and loose, berry about the size of 
Concord, of a rich golden color, skin thin, pulp melting, quite acid. 
Here the season is too short for the fruit to ripen; further south it 
might be of value. 
Jessica {Hybrid). —This variety has made but little growth the 
past two seasons—seems to lack vigor. Its season is several days 
earlier than Concord; bunches small, loose, berry small, straw-color, 
sweet, and of good quality. Here the variety has proved unpro¬ 
ductive, and has not shown any desirable qualities that would en¬ 
title it to a place as a sort worthy of cultivation. 
Lady Washington {Hybrid.) —This variety has proved one of the 
very best light grapes, so far, tested at this Station. The vine is a 
remarkably strong, healthy grower, producing shoots 8 to 9 feet 
long, and ripening its wood well. It is very productive, in season a 
few days later than Concord, bunches very large and showy, gener¬ 
ally shouldered, berries a little smaller than Concord, color between 
a straw-color and a golden, quality good. Here the season is some¬ 
times rather short for the perfect development of the fruit, but where 
the season is longer it will prove a most valuable white grape. 
Martha {Labrusca). —An ordinary grower and not very product¬ 
ive, shoots 2 to 3 feet long. It ripens with Concord ; bunches of 
medium size and fairly compact and holding the fruit well, berry
