DESCRIPTION OF VARIETIES 
As varietal descriptions are often confusing to persons un- 
familiar with the muscadine grapes, we have adopted a method 
of starring which indicates our opinion of them, considering their 
qualifications for commercial use. Five stars (*****) denotes the 
best, and one star (*) the least desirable. Write to your State 
Experiment Station or consult your County Agent for additional 
information before you plant. 
MALE: A pollenating variety, required to be interplanted 
among fruiting kinds at the rate of about one to every eight or 
nine of the bearing plants. Order enough Males to adequately 
pollenate your vineyard. See planting plan on last page. 
BROWNIE***: A very small bronze grape that hangs well 
on medium sized clusters. Fruit is thin skinned and very sweet. 
The vines are vigorous, but the small size of the berries results in 
only a moderate tonnage per acre, and makes harvesting some- 
what more difficult than for other varieties. Ripens late. 
CREEK***; A fine late wine variety. Clusters large with 
small to medium berries. Fruity flavor with sprightly tartness. 
Juice is high in sugar and acid content. The reddish black fruit 
of Creek has the thinnest skin of all varieties. It is a prolific 
and regular bearer on good soils. 
CRESWELL****: Another excellent late variety that is 
promising for wine, and is vigorous and productive. Foliage is 
remarkably disease resistant. The fruit is medium sized, and the 
clusters medium to large. Berries are dull black; pulp moderate 
in amount and very juicy with a sweet, sprightly flavor. Ripens 
2 to 3 weeks after Hunt, and is the best variety to extend the sea- 
son of black grapes.
