GRAPES 
At Geneva and Fredonia over 30,000 grape seedlings have been grown. 
Naturally many promising seedlings that seem to be well worthy of trial 
appear from time to time. In order to secure early information in regard to 
their value under varied soil and climatic conditions, they are distributed 
before their commercial value is known. 
Athens (Sta. 12046)—is a promising black grape of the Concord type that 
ripens about a month earlier. Vine very vigorous, hardy, and very pro- 
ductive; bunches medium to large, loose and tapering; berries larger than 
the Concord, roundish oval, black with a heavy bloom; flesh tough, sweet, 
slightly foxy, good quality. Well worthy of trial as an early black grape of 
the Concord type. Parentage — Hubbard crossed with Portland. 
Bronx Seedless—a large-clustered, large-berried grape obtained from a cross 
between a seedling and Sultanina, a seedless variety grown in California. 
The berries are oval, light red, melting, juicy and good in quality. During 
wet seasons skin is liable to crack. Seeds are soft and pulpy and are eaten 
with flesh. 
Buffalo (Sta. 10830)— is an early black grape ripening first week in Sep- 
tember, and is suitable for dessert and wine. Vine is vigorous, slightly 
tender, but very productive; clusters medium plus, tapering, medium com- 
pact; berries medium, roundish oval, adherence strong; flesh juicy, melt- 
ing, very sweet, slightly foxy, pleasing, good. Parentage — Herbert crossed 
with Watkins.

in color and flavor but the clusters and berries are small. Occasionally 
seed is present but usually berries are seedless. Has possibilities for pie 
stock, 
Dunkirk—has bunches and berries similar to those of Delaware, but both 
are larger, and the crop ripens later and keeps longer. The skin is thin like
