Goethe.j Custer medium and rather open; berry 
large, pale pink; pulp tender, juicy, and highly flavored. 
Ripe August to September. Selections A B and C. 
Armalaga. (fM2. 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 South¬ 
west; it is hardier than pure Vinifera kinds. 
Catawba, (fA18. 12 feet). Cluster medium coni¬ 
cal. Berries above medium, clear dark red. Skin thin, 
and 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.

Black Spanish. (fM2. 16 feet). (Le Noir, Jac¬ 
ques'). Very prolific. Cluster rather open, but long and 
large. Berries small, very juicy and sprightly. Fine 
for red wine. Does well in Southwest Texas in semi- 
arid regions. In moister regions requires spraying to 
keep off mildew and black rot, to which it is subject. 
Ellen Scott. (|M3. 12 feet). Armlong hybridized 
with Herbemont. Vine beautiful, vigorous, prolific. 
Cluster large, conical. Berry large, translucent, violet, 
covered with delicate bloom. Skin thin, tough. Pulp 
tender, juicy and sprightly, high quality. Handsome 
table and market grape. Especially valuable in West 
and Southwest Texas where European varieties will 
grow; is becoming a valuable commercial variety. 
Carman. (|A26. 12 feet). (Post-Oak No. 1 x Tri¬ 
umph. Growth vigorous; foliage never attacked by leaf 
folder or mildew; prolific. Cluster large, conical, com¬ 
pact. Berries persistent, medium, globular, black with 
thin bloom; skin thin, tough, never cracking; pulp 
meaty, firm, tender when ripe; rich quality, superior to 
Concord; seeds easily leaving pulp. 
Edna. (*M3. 16 feet). One of handsomest grapes 
we have. Large clusters, white berries. Best quality. 
A hybrid of Armstrong with Malaga. Has flavor of the 
Muscat that is good, but in this variety is superior. 
Sets fruit well, has recurved stamens. Ronalda, Ellen 
Scott and Armalaga are good pollenators for it.
