A CATALOG OF NEW FRUITS 
Buffalo (Sta. 10830)— 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. Parentage — Herbert crossed 
with Watkins. 
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 similar 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, vinous, with a slight Mills flavor, good. Recom¬ 
mended for table and wine uses. 
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 is rapidly becoming a standard variety. 
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)—was produced by crossing Chasselas Rose with Brocton. 
Vine is strong, vigorous, and productive; clusters large, compact; berries 
medium, roundish oval, medium red; flesh slightly meaty, juicy, sweet, 
vinous and good. Those who like the Chasselas grape should try this 
promising production. Season after Concord. Promising for table and wine 
uses.
