GRAPES 
The Geneva Experiment Station has introduced over 25 varieties of grapes 
and most of them have proved of merit either in New York State or other grape- 
growing areas throughout the United States. Many unnamed seedlings of promise 
for dessert, wine and juice purposes are now on trial and will be named and intro- 
duced as soon as they are considered worthy of a general trial. Some of the most 
promising seedlings may be found too tender to withstand test winters that oc- 
casionally occur or too susceptible to certain diseases as the mildews and black 
rot. Reports on the performance of any of the introductions is solicited for it 
forms the basis of our recommendations.
