HARDINESS OF GRAPES 
The winter of 1943, one of the coldest on record for Western New York, with 
20 below zero on two different occasions gave us an excellent opportunity to check 
on the relative hardiness of the various varieties listed in this catalog. Under the 
above conditions the following varieties produced a full crop of fruit with no 
apparent winter injury: 
Van Buren, Delaware, Portland, Fredonia, Worden, Lucile, Westfield, Con- 
cord, Seibel No. 1000, Brighton, Caco, Elvira Clinton, Catawba, Diamond. 
Varieties showing some injury of buds but still producing a fair crop of fruit after 
20 below zero are: 
Sheridan, Golden Muscat, Ontario, Urbana, Agawam, Salem, Isabella, Ives, 
Eumelan, Athens, Brocton, Niagara. 
Where winter temperatures range to 25-30 below zero Seibel No. 1000, Van 
Buren, Worden, Lucile, and possibly Concord should prove hardy and bear fruit.
