636 Report or THE Horticulturist OF THE = 
No.4, Thompson, A black grape of unknown parentage, Origa. i 
nated by Jos. T. Thompson, Oneida, N. Y. Cuttings were sent to | 
the Station in 1892. We have not yet seen the fruit. 
No. 10, Gerbig. (/ab., vin.) A seedling of No. 2, Gerbig. See — 
“above. It was originated by A. V. Gerbig, Archbald, Pa., who 
sent cuttings of it to the Station in 1892. 
No. 12, from T. Huber. A black grape of unknown parentage, — 
originated by Theophile Huber, of Illinois City, Ils., who says it — 
is an immense bearer, of good quality, but the fruit drops from the 
pedicel to some extent. We have not yet seen the fruit. 7 
No. 42, c, from J. G. Burrow, Fishkill, N. Y. Lab. It is a seed- 
ling of Concord X Jefferson, received at the Station in 1888. The — 
fruit is excellent, but the vine has not always proved productive 
here. Bunch handsome in appearance, medium size, so com- 
pact that occasionally berries are choked so much as to cause them 
to wither instead of ripening. Berry darker red than Delaware, 
- with lilac bloom, sometimes becoming almost purple, medium or 
above, not very uniform in size; pulp juicy, sweet, tender, melting, 
fine flavored, slightly vinous, refreshing. Ripened this season 
about with Concord. ‘Worthy further trial as an amateur grape.

1889, p. 342. oe 
Seedling of Isabella. Lab. This grape was sent to the Station 
in 1889 by G. A. Ensenberger, Sr., Bloomington, Ill. In many 
respects it resembles the Isabella, but is earlier and has a more — 
compact cluster than its parent. Ripened this season a little 
later than Moore’s Early. In cold storage it kept in good con 
dition till November, and was discarded as worthless in January. 
The vine has thus far been hardy, vigorous and productive. 
A white grape of unknown parentage originated by D. S. Mar- — 
vin, Watertown, N. Y. Mr. Marvin believes it to be from seed of 
Delaware X Sherman making it vl. X, (vul., Lab., vin.), and also 
says it is better, hardier and early than Delaware and that the 
vine resembles Sherman more than Delaware. It was received Bh 
by the Station in 1892. We have not yet seen its fruit. 
Senasqua. Zab. X win. This is a seedling of Concord X Black a; 
Prince. Bunch medium to large, shouldered, and so compact 
that the fruit is liable to crack; berry medium to large, black 
with blue bloom; pulp fleshy, sprightly, vinous and of good 
quality. Ripened this season a few days later than Concord, and ~ 
was moderately productive. See also Annual Reports of this a 
Station for 1887, pp. 341-342; 1888, p. 106; 1889, p. 342, and ©
