620 Report oF THE HorTICULTURIST OF THE 
seeds, pulp of fine flavor, tender, breaking. Season here this year a 
little earlier than Concord. The fruit is fine, but the vine at the 
age of six years has not yet proved productive here. Mr. J. 
G. Burrow, of Fishkill, N. Y., who sent the grape to the Station 
in 1887, says that in favorable localities for grape culture it is 
much esteemed as a fine table and market grape, but it must have 
favorable location and must not be allowed to overbear. T. T. 
Lyon, of South Haven, Mich., notes* that its foliage was excep- 
tionally healthy in unfavorable seasons in that locality, and that 
the vine has been moderately productive, but late in ripening its 
fruit. 
Dr. Collier. (Big fred.) Lin. X, (Lin., vin., Lab.) One of Prof. 
Munson’s grapes, named in honor of the Director of this Sta- 
tion, a seedling of Post Oak X (Lindley ?) It was received 
here in the fall of 1892. We have not yet seen the fruit. 
Prof. Munson has described it as follows: Vine, hardy, vigorous 
and productive; bunch large cylindrical; berry large, dark-red; 
skin thin and tough; pulp juicy, tender, with red juice, good 
flavor, and quite good quality. 
Dr. Hexamer. Lin. X, (Lin., Lab., vin.) This is a seedling of 
Post Oak X Triumph, originated by T. V. Munson, Denison, Texas, 
and sent to this Station in the fall of 1892. Prof. Munson’s 
description is as follows: Vine vigorous, hardy and productive; 
bunch large, cylindrical; berry large, black, with tough skin; 
pulp. juicy, tough, with red juice and very good flavor. 
Dr. Warder. An early black grape of unknown parentage, 
originated by Theophile Huber, Illinois City, Ill. Cuttings were 
received here in the spring of 1892. We have not yet seen its 
fruit. : 
Dracut Amber. Zab. Ripened this season a little earlier than 
Worden, and was moderately productive. It seem to be but a 
slight improvement of the wild Fox grape, and therefore we 
can see no reason for cultivating it when beiter varieties can be 
grown in its place. Bunch large, compact, sometimes shouldered: 
berry large, round, pale red; pulp foxy and not tender. See also.
