New York AGRICULTURAL EXPERIMENT STATION. 6U5 
Lutie. (Za).,—?) A chance seedling, received from Samuel 
Wilson, Mechanicsville, Pa., in 1892. It bore a few clusters of 
fruit this year. Bunch small to medium, moderately compact‘; 
berry medium to large, round, dull dark red with slight whitish 
bloom; pulp sweet with a strong foxy odor, moderately juicy, 
moderately tender, releases the seeds readily, fair in flavor and 
quality. Season earlier than Concord; about with Worden 
this year. 
Missouri Riesling. (vwl., Zab.) A seedling of Taylor raised 
by Nicholas Grein, near Hermann, Mo. Bunch medium, rather 
loose. Berries greenish-white, tinged with pink when fully ripe, 
sprinkled with small brown dots and covered with white bloom, 
nearly round, but tapering toward the pedicel. Pulp does not 
readily release the seeds, is moderately juicy, mild in flavor, 
sweet, but not sprightly enough to rank high asa table grape 
in American markets. Berry thin-skinned, fine flavored, with 
no foxiness. Begins to ripen a little before Catawba. See, also, 
Annual Reports of this Station, 1891, p. 497, and 1892, p. 630. 
Norwood. Zab. Cluster moderately compact; berry above 
medium, inclined to oval, purple with blue bloom; skin thick 
and tough; pulp moderately tough, not readily releasing the 
seeds, nearly sweet, fine flavor. Incapable of self-fertilization 
and unproductive here, even in a mixed vineyard. This fault is 
sufficient to debar it from the commercial list, and there are 
other grapes of its season that are superior to it for amateur 
purposes. Began to ripen this season the first week in October. 
Opal. (Lab., vin.) Cluster medium, compact; berry small to 
above medium, nearly round, green, covered with thin white 
bloom; pulp tough, not readily releasing the seed; sweet, 
sprightly vinous, good quality, with little or no foxy flavor. 
Season about with Niagara. It can not compete with that 
variety as a market grape, and for amateur purposes, it isinferior 
to other white grapes of its season. Can see no reason for its 
introduction in this locality. It is fully self-fertile. See, also, 
Annual Reports of this Station for 1802, p. 632, and 1898, p. 622. 
Pocklington. Zab. A seedling of Concord. Unproductive 
this season. Not as satisfactory here as Niagara. It is some- 
times so'd for Niagara, as it readily passes for that variety
