smaller than Concord, greenish, sweet, with a rather flat flavor, For 
home use the variety will give satisfaciion, but is not productive 
enougli for a market sort. 
Moore'e Diamond {Labrasca X.)—A variety ripening in mid¬ 
season, vine a good grower and ripens its wood well, shoots 4 to 5 
feet long. So far it has not proved very productive; bunches long 
and loose, berry smaller than Concord, color a greenish-white with 
a tinge of yellow when fully ripe, skin thin, pulp melting, of fine 
quality. This is a desirable variety for home us, and were it more 
productive would be a profitable market sort. 
Niagara (Ladrusca). —This widely disseminated variety which 
has succeeded well over a broad range of country, has been a fail¬ 
ure here. Only one vine was planted, and that has been a poor 
grower, producing only a few ill-shaped bunches. Its season is a 
little after Concord. It approaches nearer to a white grape than 
any we have, and is of good quality. As but one vine was planted, 
it is hardly fair to pass judgment on the adaptability of the variety 
to this part of the State ; on the western slope it succeeds well. 
Prentiss (Labrasca). —A poor growing variety, ripening after Con¬ 
cord ; so far, it has not been productive. The past two years it has 
produced only a few poor bunches, berry small, greedish-white, of a 
pleasant flavor. The variety has not proved at all a desirable sort. 
Transparent (Riparia N). —A variety ripening a week or more 
after Concord. The vine makes a fine growth, shoots 6 to 10 feet 
long, bunches of medium size, loose, berry smaller than Concord, 
color between straw-color and golden ; where the season is longer it 
would, no doubt, be good. 
Triumph (Labrasca X Vinifera). —This is a fair growing variety, 
but is decidly too late for this section—its season being much later 
than that of Concord. Tiie bundles are of good size and fairly com¬ 
pact, berr}^ smaller than Concord, greenisli-white. It might be of 
value for the South. 
The following varieties are not desirable table sorts, but in 
many sections are highly esteemed as wine grapes: 
Clinton . Taylor’s Bullet X). 
Cynthiana (JEstivalis). Pearl {Riparia X.). 
Marion {Riparia). Noah {Ri^mria X.). 
Norton’s Virginia {XEstivalis). 
Those varieties that have not fruited sufficiently to warrant a 
report are : 
Eaton {Labrasca). * Jefferson {Hybrid). 
Eumelan {yRstivalis). Poughkeepsie (Lahrwsca X. Vinifera). 
Isabella {Labrusca). 
In giving the class or classes from which a variety originated, 
Labrusca represents the Northern Fox grape ; Riparia, the Winter, 
or Frost grape; jEstivalis, the Wild Summer grape; Vinifera, the 
Wine grape of Europe*
