108 REPORT OF THE HORTICULTURIST OF THE 
Among the earlier new grapes the Green Mountain appears to 
be quite promising. The fruit ripened earlier than that of any 
other, with the exception of the Rochester. It is a whitish-green 
grape, and the vine is vigorous and productive. The bunch 
is medium to large, rather long and slender, moderately compact, 
‘sometimes shouldered; the berry is a little larger than that of the 
Delaware, with a thin skin, which is dotted over the surface with 
minute reddish dots; seeds two to four, very small; flesh tender 
to the center, very sweet and pleasant, with a slight vinous flavor. 
Descriptive notes have been made of nearly all of the varieties. 
As most of them have already been described, either in recent. 
horticultural works or in the horticultural press, it is not thought 
necessary to publish the descriptions as made at the Station. 
Partial descriptive notes are, however, added for the six unnamed 
seedlings at the latter end of the table.

first time the past season, appears to be vigorous and very pro-

All of the seedlings from Mr. Munson bore the past season for

where the soil was decidedly poorer than that on which those of a
