promises to be for the shorter=-season areas. Superbly healthy vine, good production of 
good wine. Currently enjoying a great vogue in southern France. Blends well with S.V.

ability to develop high sugar content in good years. Its introduction makes possible 
the preparation of wine of the Muscatel type; and it is useful, when used sparingly, for 
heightening the aroma of dry white wines as well. Vine is not a vigorous grower, but is 
satisfactorily resistant to disease and is hardy except under extreme conditions. Average 
production. Fruit sometimes ripens unevenlye Short pruningo 
Couderc 15. Late mid-season. Does not ripen fully with us. Has prompted highly favor- 
able reports from several southern locations. Spur pruning.

The following are all varieties of superior quality. 
Buffalo. Very early, ripening around August 20 with use Vigorous vine, fully hardy, some~ 
what subject to mildew. In vine characteristics, foliage and appearance of fruit, it 
resembles Concord, and is fully as productive. Yet the fruit is far superior. A New York 
Station hybrid. Not a wine grape. 
Ellen Scott. (Sold out.) Late mid-season. Huge, handsome bunches, big berries, ranging 
in color from pink to garnet. Healthy vine. Striking table or wine variety requiring a 
long season. Half-long pruning.

not a true Muscat. Sufficiently disease resistant. Not for wine. Half-long pruning. 
Hector. Barly mid-season. One of the better hybrids produced by the New York Experiment 
Station at Geneva. Vine of average vigor, somewhat subject to mildew. Bears good crops»,
