New York AGRIcuLTURAL ExPpERIMENT STATION. 603 
Early Ohio. Zab. or Lad. X. A chance seedling received 
from C. 8. Curtis & Co., Portland, N. Y., 1891. Vines moderately 
vigorous with good foliage; bunch medium or below, not com- 
pact; berry medium, black with blue bloom; pulp not melting, 
sweet; seeds few and separate easily from the pulp; fair quality ; 
productive. Season about with Moore’s Early. See, also, An- 
nual Report of this Station for 1893, p. 619. 
Elsinburgh. (Lsinboro, Smart's Elsinborough), west. An 
old variety received from T.S. Hubbard, Fredonia, N. Y., in 
1888. Bunch medium to large, moderately compact, shouldered, 
spreading, with rather long branches; berry small, black with 
blue bloom, nearly round, sweet, vinous, with but little pulp and 
few small seeds; juice colored. Berry too small to meet with 
favor as a market grape. Season last of September and first of 
October. See, also, Annual Reports of this Station for 1891, p. 
495, and 1892, p. 621. 7 
Elvicand. cand. X, (cand., vul., Lab.). This variety was 
recommended for trial as a dark red grape of Concord season in 
the Annual Reports of this Station for 1892 and 1893. In 184 
it was very productive and confirmed the favorable opinion that 
had previously been formed of it. 
Empire State. (Zab. X Pip.) The vine is not a vigorous 
grower here, but was quite productive this season. The clusters 
are long, rather slender and borne on long, slender stems, the 
distance between the vine and fruit being rather longer than 
usual and quite characteristic of this variety. The berries are 
medium in size, white tinged with yellow; pulp tender, sprightly 
and of good quality. Season first of October. 
Gold Dust. Zab. X, (L4b., vin., Bourg.). Mildly, subacid ; 
pulp tough; does not release the seeds readily; insipid; poor 
quality. See no reason for further testing in this locality. See, 
also, Annual Report of this Station for 1892, p. 624. 
Golden Grain. ab. X, (Lab., vin., Bourg.) Clusters 
medium or above, usually compact, shouldered ; berries medium 
size, oblong, dull green, with thin white bloom and thinly 
sprinkled with brown dots; skin tough; pulp tough and does not 
separate readily from the seeds ; moderately juicy, sweet, pleasant
