Start Right—By Planting Munson s Grapes , Every - 
thing Depends on the Quality of Tour Stoc\ 
R. W. MUNSON. (*A3. 16 feet). (Big Berry Post- 
Oak x Triumph). Growth strong. Clusters medium to 
large. Berries when well grown, medium 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 pruning and when pollenated 
by other erect stamened varieties flowering at same 
time, its own pollen not being fully adequate, al¬ 
though its flowers are perfect. Resistant to Root Rot. 
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. 
August 1 to 10 
MERICADEL. (tA26. 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 Missouri. 
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, spright¬ 
ly 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 
purple to black, with moderate bloom ; skin thin, 
tough, never cracks ; pulp tender, juicy, sprightly, 
agreeable, sweet. 
BAILEY, (tA26. 16 feet). (Big Berry Post-Oak 
x Triumph). Growth strong. Clusters large, cylin¬ 
drical or often branching, generally compact. Berries 
persistent, large, black, with little bloom; skin thin 
and tough, never cracking ; pulp mealy, but not tough ; 
juicy, sprightly, of good quality, considerably above 
Concord ; seeds readily parting from pulp. A valu¬ 
able market grape, easily superseding Concord espe¬ 
cially 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 black soils. Berries 
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. 
August 10 to 20 
AMERICA. (*A23. 16 feet). (Seedling of Jaeger, 
No. 70). Growth strong. Cluster conical, compact. 
Berries persistent, medium size, black ; skin thin 
and tender; does not crack ; pulp melting, juicy, rich 
t in sugar; also rich in agreeable acid; possesses 
a very distinct peculiar flavor, making a good combi¬ 
nation market and wine grape. Very prolific with 
long arm pruning and when pollenized 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. 
ARMALAGA. (tM2. 12 feet). A hybrid of Armlong 
(which is a hybrid of native Post-Oak grape with 
Black Eagle) and Malaga. The vine is vigorous and 
healthy. Flower perfect. Cluster large and compact. 
Berry large, yellowish-green, translucent, 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 valuable in all of the drier 
portions of the Southwest; it is hardier than pure 
Vinifera kinds.
