NIAGARA is the old standby of the white varieties. 
The vine is a strong and vigorous grower. The berries 
are large and excellent quality. The bunches are large 
and compact. Ripens a few days later than Concord. 
Niagara is also widely used for wine. 
GOLDEN MUSCAT was named for its color and 
muscat flavor. The vine is vigorous, productive; the 
clusters are very large, tapering, single-shouldered, 
‘and compact; the berries are large, oval, juicy, tender, 
sweet vinous and aromatic. Requires season about 10 
days longer than that of Concord. 
ONTARIO comes in season before its parent Win- 
chell, hitherto the best early green grape. Bunches and 
berries are large 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. 
PORTLAND holds first place among grapes as an 
early green variety for the market. The vine is very 
vigorous, hardy, productive and healthy. The variety 
is remarkable for its luxuriant and persistent foliage. 
Bunches and berries are larger than those of any other 
early green grape. In soils where vine lacks vigor, 
Portland should be grafted onto Clinton or other 
vigorous stocks. 
SENECA is almost a pure vinifera, ripening with 
Ontario. The bunches are of medium size, tapering, 
compact; berries oval and yellow. The texture is firm 
like that of a true vinefera, melting and tender, while 
the flavor is sweet, vinous and aromatic. The skin 
can be eaten with the berry. The vine is vigorous 
and productive. Seneca is highly recommended for 
dessert. Requires spraying to prevent mildew. 
.INTERLAKEN SEEDLESS is a promising seedless 
grape for the eastern United States. Its medium sized 
clusters are well filled with berries about the size of 
Delaware. The fruit ripens to a rich golden yellow 
color. At Geneva it ripens about September Ist or 
a full month before Concord. The fruit is very sweet 
and the flavor blends that of Ontario and Thompson 
Seedless. The flesh that of Golden Muscat, Seneca, 
and Delaware in hardiness. Temperatures of 20°F 
may be expected to injure the wood of Interlaken 
Seedless. We put thig variety on the market for the 
first time in the fall of 1952.
