SPALDING: Vine vigorous and healthy, very prolific and 
regular bearer; fruit black, quality excellent, skin medium to thin, 
pulp small. Ripens two weeks later than Hunt to which it is a 
twin sister. Good for use over a long period. | 
SCOTT: One of. the largest and best of the black varieties. 
The vine is a vigorous grower, bears young and is very prolific. 
The fruit grows in large clusters, hangs on well and is deliciously 
sweet. Must be fully ripe to be appreciated. Resembles James 
but ripens a week earlier and is sweeter. 
SCUPPERNONG: Bunches composed of eight to ten very 
large berries, bronze colored when fully ripe; flesh pulpy, sweet 
with peculiar, agreeable, musky flavor; quality excellent. One of 
the oldest and best varieties. Ripens in August and September. 
CREEK: The fruit of this variety has the thinnest skin of 
all varieties. It is very juicy with a fruity flavor, has large clus- 
ters of medium size, reddish-purple berries, quality good to excel- 
lent, high in sugar and acid content, fairly persistant, prolific, and 
regular in bearing. Ripens uniformly about Oct. 1st. One of the 
latest introductions of Georgia Experiment Stations and a promis- 
ing Commercial variety, one of the best for wine-making. 
HOWARD: Vine moderately vigorous, medium bearer, fruit 
good quality, large, light color, similiar to Scuppernong, but sweet- 
er and better quality, ripens with Scuppernong, 
JAMES: Extra large berries, often measuriug 3% inches in 
circumference, black, from three to ten berries on a bunch, ex- 
tremely prolific and regular bearer. Ripens in September and 
October, and often hangs on the vines in eastern North Carolina 
‘until the last of November. Good commercial variety. 
MEMORY: Large, juicy, bears young, regular and abun- 
dantly. Ripens two weeks behind Scuppernong. One of the best 
of the black varieties. 
STUCKEY: Reddish-bronze, berries medium to large in size, 
juicy and very sweet; probably the best quality of any variety. 
Ripens week to ten days after Scuppernong and over a long period 
which, with its excellent flavor, makes it very desirable for the 
home vineyard.
