pact, and well filled by the berries. The vine is vigorous, hardy, healthy 
and productive. 
Eden—produces clusters of medium size that are frequently loose; berries above 
medium, roundish oval, black; flesh juicy, slightly meaty, tender, sweet, 
vinous and good. Recommended for those who desire an unusual pleasing 
flavor. 
Fredonia—is a good early black grape. The vine is vigorous, hardy, and pro- 
ductive if not pruned too severely. 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 has become our leading early 
black grape. 
Golden Muscat—was named for its color and muscat flavor. The vine is vigor- 
ous, productive; the clusters are very large, tapering, single-shouldered, and 
compact; the berries are large, oval, juicy, tender, sweet, vinous and aro- 
matic. 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—is an attractive red grape. Vine is strong, vigorous, and productive; 
clusters large, compact; berries medium, roundish oval, medium red; flesh 
slightly meaty, juicy, sweet, vinous and good. Season after Concord. Promis- 
ing for table and wine uses. 
Kendaia—is an early black that ripens about with its sister Athens. The vine 
is very vigorous, hardy and productive. Clusters are medium to large, shoul- 
dered and fairly compact; berries large as Concord, similar in color, round- 
ish, oval and persistent; skin medium thick and tough; flesh juicy, sweet 
with a pleasing aroma and good. Recommended for those areas with a short 
season. 
Keuka—has medium sized bunch and berry. 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 the berries may be eaten skin and all. The vines are vigorous, healthy, 
productive, medium hardy, and ripen their crop with Catawba. Recommended 
for trial where seasons are long and winter cold is not severe. 
Naples (Geneva #17594)—A productive red grape derived from a cross be- 
tween Delaware and a (Mills x Iona) seedling. Clusters are larger and less 
compact than those of the Delaware and berries are larger and have a tough- 
er skin. Fruit has appearance and flavor of Delaware but ripens about one 
week later. Flesh is slightly tough, juicy, sweet and good in quality. Prom- 
ising for table and wine. 
Ontario—comes in season before its parent Winchell, hitherto the best early 
green grape. Bunches and berries are larger and more attractive in appearance, 
and its vines are more vigorous and more productive. Ontario and Portland 
are becoming the standard early green grapes in eastern America.
