A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Fredonia—is a good early 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, and round; 
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. 
Kendaia (Sta. 12341)—a cross between Portland and Hubbard resembles its 
sister Athens very closely. The vine is very vigorous, hardy and productive 
and ripens before Fredonia. Clusters are medium to large, shouldered and 
fairly compact; berries large as Concord, similar in color, roundish, oval 
and persistent; skin medium thick and tough; flesh juicy, sweet with a 
pleasing aroma and good. It should prove to be an excellent market grape. 
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. 
Ontario—is a cross between Winchell and Diamond which comes in season 
before Winchell, hitherto the best early green grape. Bunches and berries 
are larger and more attractive in appearance than those of the parents, and 
unlike those of either parent are usually single-shouldered. The vines are 
more vigorous and more productive. The grapes hang on the vine long 
after ripening. Ontario and Portland are becoming the standard early 
green grapes in eastern America. 
Portland—holds first place among grapes as an early green variety for the 
market. The vine is very vigorous, hardy, productive and healthy. The
