MALE OR POLLINATING VARIETY 
MALE—Male vines are propagated for the pollination 
of all varieties, both black and bronze. The same male 
will pollinate both black and bronze varieties without 
mixing fruit or flavor. Males do not bear fruit, but polli- 
nate the female (bearing) vines which are self sterile 
and produce no fruit, except when pollinated by males 
either wild or cultivated. Female (bearing) vines with 
access to wild males produce some fruit but not good 
crops. The Georgia Experiment Station tests show that 
bearing (female) vines more than fifty feet from a male 
are greatly reduced in production, sometimes as much 
as fifty per cent. 
WHITE OR BRONZE VARIETIES 
BROWNIE—Clusters medium, fruit small, skin thin, 
dark amber, quality excellent; ripens around September 
25th. An improved seedling of the Sanmonta. Brownie 
has the highest sugar content of all varieties. 
DAWN—Clusters small, fruit large, skin thick, bronze, 
quality good, persistence good; ripens around August 
26th. A new variety from the Georgia Experiment Sta- 
tion, previously known as 21-30. Dawn, a seedling of the 
Scuppernong, is very much like its mother in appearance 
and color. The acid and sugar content are higher than 
in Scuppernong, giving it flavor. Dawn is also more 
persistent. | 
HOWARD—Clusters medium, fruit medium to large, 
skin thick, bronze, quality fair; ripens around September 
15th. Similar to Scuppernong. 
LUCIDA—Clusters medium, fruit very large, skin 
thick, bronze, quality fair, persistence good; ripens 
around September 20th. Lucida is the largest of all varie- 
ties. Single berries are often one inch in diameter.
