GRAPES 
The combining of the European and our native grapes has given many 
promising new kinds. To date about 30,000 seedlings have been grown. The 
best are included in this list. 
Brocton—flesh is melting, separates readily from the seeds, and is sweet, 
richly and delicately flavored; bunches large. The vine is rather slow in 
growth, and is inclined to bear too heavily, for all of which reasons it 
should have special care in culture and pruning. This is one of the best 
of the Station’s new green grapes. 
Bronx Seedless—a large-clustered, large-berried grape obtained from a cross 
between a seedling and Sultanina, a seedless variety grown in California. 
The berries are oval, light red, melting, juicy and good in quality. During 
wet seasons skin is liable to crack. Seeds are soft and pulpy and are eaten 
with flesh.
