Half-long pruningo 
\#Seibel 10868. Early. Stocky, vigorous vine, yielding good crops of handsome, pale=-pink 
“fruit resembling the Traminer of Alsace in appearance (though not in wine quality). Its 
wine, like that of Seibel 5409, recalls the Chablis type. This variety, after extensive 
tests, has been found to do exceptionally well on the Niagara peninsula where it is being 
planted ona large scale for the production of dry table wines. Widely adaptable. Spur 
pruning o 
‘\ Seibel 11803. Mid=-seasono. Rather weak-growing vine producing good crops of large, handsome 
berries ranging in color from pale pink to lavender. Clean-tasting wine of Superior 
quality, and is promising in some areas as a table variety. Owing to its lack of vigor, 
and its tendency not to ripen its wood well, it must not be allowed to over—bear. Spur 
pruning o

disease resistant (though slightly subject to black mt in wet years), am a big producer 
of huge, fairly compact bunches, often double-shouldered. Wine of good quality, neutral 
but unctuous and of good body, blending well with others. A stunning table grape as well.
