A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
appear from time to time. In order to secure early information in regard to 
their value under varied soil and climatic conditions, they are distributed 
before their commercial value is known. 
Athens (Sta. 12046)—is a promising black grape of the Concord type that 
ripens fully a month earlier. Vine very vigorous, hardy, and very pro¬ 
ductive; bunches medium to large, loose and tapering; berries larger than 
the Concord, roundish oval, black with a heavy bloom; flesh tough, sweet, 
slightly foxy, good quality. Well worthy of trial as an early black grape of 
the Concord type. Parentage — Hubbard crossed with Portland. 
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. 
Buffalo (Sta. 10839)—is an early black grape ripening first week in Sep¬ 
tember, and is suitable for dessert and wine. Vine is vigorous, slightly 
tender, but very productive; clusters medium plus, tapering, medium com¬ 
pact; berries medium, roundish oval, adherence strong; flesh juicy, melt¬ 
ing, very sweet, slightly foxy, pleasing, good. Herbert, Triumph, Winchell, 
Diamond and Jefferson make up its parentage. 
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. 
Eden (Sta. 11737)—has been rated very promising in the station trial vine¬ 
yards since 1928 because of its high quality, earliness, and good keeping 
qualities. It is a cross between Ontario and (Triumph X Mills), ripening in 
the middle of September. Vine slightly tender, vigorous, and productive; 
clusters are medium in size, cylindrical, small shouldered, and fairly com¬ 
pact; berries above medium, roundish oval, black; flesh juicy, slightly 
meaty, tender, sweet, vigorous, with a slight iMills flavor, good. Recom¬ 
mended for table and wine uses.
