A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Concord Seedless—probably a sport of the Concord. Fruit resembles Concord 
in color and flavor but the clusters and berries are small. Occasionally 
seed is present but usually berries are seedless. Has possibilities for pie 
stock. 
Dunkirk—has bunches and berries similar to those of Delaware, but both 
are larger, and the crop ripens later and keeps longer. The skin is thin like 
that of Delaware, of the same color, but is tough enough to make the grape 
a good shipper. The clusters are unusually uniform in shape and size, com¬ 
pact, and well filled by the berries. The vine is vigorous, hardy, healthy 
and productive. 
Erie—a very early grape that resembles its parent Worden in flavor and 
color. Cluster and berry medium. Season a week before Fredonia. Must be 
planted alongside self-fruitful varieties such as Ontario and Fredonia. 
Fredonia—is the earliest good black grape. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and 
productive, and ripens its fruit 2 weeks earlier than Worden. Clusters are 
medium in size, cylindrical, and compact; berries are large, round, and 
persistent; skin is thick and tough; flesh is juicy, solid but tender; very 
good. Fredonia stands alone as an early black grape. 
Golden Muscat—possesses the rich golden color of Diamond and the fine 
muscat aroma of the European Muscat. For home use and the roadside 
market it is one of the best. The vine is vigorous, productive; the clusters 
are very large, tapering, single-shouldered, and compact; the berries are 
large, oval, juicy, tender, sweet, vinous and aromatic. Requires season 
about 10 days longer than that of Concord. 
Hanover—has clusters medium to large, compact; berries medium, slightly 
oblong, dark red; flesh slightly tough, sweet, vinous, and good in quality; 
ripens about October first. Still on trial but most promising. 
Hector (Sta. 11456)—for years the grape industry has been looking for a red 
grape of high quality and commercial possibilities. Several grapes that 
promise to fill this need are now growing in the Station vineyards. Hector 
was produced by crossing Chasselas Rose with Brocton. Vine is strong, 
vigorous, and productive; clusters large, compact; berries medium, round¬ 
ish oval, medium red; flesh slightly meaty, juicy, sweet, vinous and good. 
Those who like the Chasselas grape should try this promising production. 
Season with Concord. Promising for table and wine uses. 
Keuka—is more nearly a European than a native grape. Bunch and berry 
are medium in size, but the bunch is compact and as trim as a well-formed 
cluster of Delaware. The berries are round-oval, dark red with heavy 
bloom which gives them a lilac color. The flesh is crisp and juicy with a 
sweet, vinifera flavor, and scarcely separates from the tender skin so that 
the berries may be eaten skin and all. The vines are vigorous, healthy, pro¬ 
ductive, medium hardy, and ripen their crop a week earlier than Catawba.
