R. W. MUNSON. (*A3. 16 feet). (Big Berry 
Post-Oak x Triumph). Growth strong. Clusters 
medium to large. Berries when well grown, me¬ 
dium to large, black without bloom; skin never 
cracks; pulp tender, juicy and of a very good 
quality, better than Concord or Beacon. Gives good 
satisfaction on market. Bears heavily on long prun¬ 
ing and when pollenated by other erect stamened 
varieties flowering at same time, its own pollen not 
being fully adequate, although its flowers are per¬ 
fect. Resistant to Root Rot. 
NIAGARA. (*A18. 12 feet). Originated in the 
North, but does quite well over most of the South, 
and better near the Coast than Concord. A good 
white mate for the Concord. Cluster very large, 
berry very large, skin thick and tough, making it 
an excellent shipping variety, and opens up well and 
makes good appearance. Quality same as Concord. 
DELICATESSEN. A cross of Delicious with R. W. 
Munson, that is a combination of Post-Oak Concord, 
Muscat and Herbemont, the four best species. Vine 
vigorous, healthy and prolific. Cluster above me¬ 
dium, cylindrical with shoulder. Berry about size of 
Concord, black, thin skin. Pulp tender, juicy, pos¬ 
sessed of an exquisite peculiar flavor, very rich. An 
excellent market, table and wine grape. 
MATHILDA. (tA25. 12 feet). (Record symbol— 
R8P3V3). Seedling of Violet Chasselas, probably 
crossed with Brilliant. Large, handsome clusters of 
medium red berries. The berry is firm, but very 
tender pulp. The quality of the very best. 
August 1 to 10 
MERICADEL. (fA26. 12 feet). Hybrid of America 
with Delaware. Vigorous and productive; clusters 
large, berry medium, purple, persistent to cluster; 
skin thin, tough; pulp tender and meaty, best qual¬ 
ity ; fine for table and market. Ripens late, just 
after Concord. 
BEACON. (*A22). (Big Berry Post-Oak x Con¬ 
cord). Growth medium in South Texas, becoming 
stronger in North Texas, to very strong in Mis¬ 
souri. Very prolific, of large cylindrical clusters, 
often shouldered, moderately compact. Berries as 
large as Concord, black, with heavy white bloom. 
Skin a little tougher than Concord, never cracks; 
pulp rather more tender than Concord, very juicy, 
sprightly and of a very similar flavor to Concord; 
rather more agreeable; seeds readily leave the pulp. 
EXTRA. (tMl. 16 feet). (Big Berry Post-Oak x 
Triumph). Growth strong, cluster oblong to cylin¬ 
drical, sometimes shouldered, moderately compact. 
Berries persistent, globular, medium to large, dark

x Triumph). Growth strong. Clusters large, cylin¬ 
drical or often branching, generally compact. Ber¬ 
ries persistent, large, black, with little bloom; skin 
thin and tough, never cracking; pulp mealy, but 
not tough ; juicy, sprightly, of good quality, con¬ 
siderably above Concord; seeds readily parting from 
pulp. A valuable market grape, easily superseding 
Concord, especially in South-Central and Southwest 
Texas, where it has done remarkably well. 
CHAMPANEL. (tA20. 16 feet). (V. Champini x 
Worden). Growth rampant, very resistant to heat 
and drouth, grows well in limy blacky soils. Clusters 
large, conical, long peduncle, rather open. Berries 
globular, large, black, white bloom, persistent. Does 
well in any soil, but especially valuable for limy 
soils of the South. Resistant to Root Rot.

AMERICA. (*A23. 16 feet). (Seedling of Jaeger, 
No. 70). Growth strong. Cluster conical, com¬ 
pact. Berries persistent, medium size, black; skin 
thin and tender; does not crack; pulp melting, 
juicy, rich in sugar; also rich in agreeable acid; 
possesses a very distinct peculiar flavor, making 
a good combination market and wine grape. Very 
prolific with long arm pruning and when pollen- 
ized by other varieties, as it does not thoroughly 
pollenize itself. 
GOETHE.t Cluster medium and rather open ; berry 
large, pale pink; pulp tender, juicy, and highly 
flavored. Ripe August to September. Selections A 
B and C. 
WINE KING. (tA26. 16 feet). A hybrid of 
Winona and America. Winona is a pure seedling 
of Norton Virginia, and quite an improvement on 
that celebrated variety, hence Wine King is a 
thoroughbred pure American blood of the finest 
wine properties. Cluster large, berry medium, black, 
persistent. Skin thin, never cracks, pulp tender 
and juicy, rich and sprightly, intensely red juice. 
ARMALAGA. (tM2. 12 feet). A hybrid of Arm-

with Black Eagle) and Malaga. The vine is vig¬ 
orous and healthy. Flower perfect. Cluster large 
and compact. Berry large, yellowish-green, translu¬ 
cent, persistent to cluster. The skin is thin, tough, 
yet pleasant to taste, without astringency. Endures 
shipping as well as Tokay. In quality equal to 
best foreign grapes. This promises to be very valu¬ 
able in all of the drier portions of the Southwest; 
it is hardier than pure Vinifera kinds. 
CATAWBA. (tA18. 12 feet). Cluster medium, 
conical. Berries above medium, clear dark red. Skin 
thin, but tough to make good shipper. Pulp tender, 
juicy and sprightly with fine flavor. Fine for table, 
market and wine. A good variety to plant among 
America, R. W. Munson, and Fern to pollenate them.
