that of Delaware, of similar color, but is tough enough to make the grape 
a good shipper. The clusters are unusually uniform in shape and size, com- 
pact, and well filled by the berries. The vine is vigorous, hardy, healthy 
and productive. 
Eden (Sta. 11737)—has been rated very promising in the station trial vine- 
yards since 1928 because of its high quality, earliness, and good keeping 
qualities. It is a cross between Ontario and (Triumph X Mills), ripening in 
the middle of September. Vine slightly tender, vigorous, and productive; 
clusters are medium in size, cylindrical, small shouldered, and fairly com- 
pact; berries above medium, roundish oval, black; flesh juicy, slightly 
meaty, tender, sweet, vinous, with a slight Mills flavor, good. Recom- 
mended for table and wine uses. 
Fredonia—is a good early black grape. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and 
productive, and ripens its fruit 2 weeks earlier than Worden. Clusters are 
medium in size, cylindrical, and compact; berries are large, and round; 
skin is thick and tough; flesh is juicy, solid but tender; very good. 
Fredonia is rapidly becoming a standard variety. 
Golden Muscat—possesses the rich golden color of Diamond and the fine 
muscat aroma of the European Muscat. For home use and the roadside 
market it is one of the best. The vine is vigorous, productive; the clusters 
are very large, tapering, single-shouldered, and compact; the berries are 
large, oval, juicy, tender, sweet, vinous and aromatic. Requires season 
about 10 days longer than that of Concord. 
Hanover—has clusters medium to large, compact; berries medium, slightly 
oblong, dark red; flesh slightly tough, sweet, vinous, and good in quality; 
ripens about October first. Still on trial but most promising. 
Hector (Sta. 11456)—was produced by crossing Chasselas Rose with Brocton. 
Vine is strong, vigorous, and productive; clusters large, compact; berries 
medium, roundish oval, medium red; flesh slightly meaty, juicy, sweet, 
vinous and good. Those who like the Chasselas grape should try this 
promising production. Season after Concord. Promising for table and wine 
uses. 
Kendaia (Sta. 12341)—a cross between Portland and Hubbard resembles its 
sister Athens very closely. The vine is very vigorous, hardy and productive 
and ripens before Fredonia. Clusters are medium to large, shouldered and 
fairly compact; berries large as Concord, similar in color, roundish, oval 
and persistent; skin medium thick and tough; flesh juicy, sweet with a 
pleasing aroma and good. It should prove to be an excellent market grape. 
Keuka—is more nearly a European than a native grape. Bunch and berry 
are medium in size, but the bunch is compact and as trim as a well-formed 
cluster of Delaware. The berries are round-oval, dark red with heavy 
bloom which gives them a lilac color. The flesh is crisp and juicy with a 
sweet, vinifera flavor, and scarcely separates from the tender skin so that
