\{ *se1BEL 9110. Early mid-season. Vigorous, hardy and resist- 
ant. Fruit exceptionally beautiful, with loose but well-formed 
bunches of pinkish yellow, oval-pointed fruit. A magnificent 
table grape, and also yields a wine with a pronounced but 
delicate perfume. Half-long pruning. 
\\ *szrpeL 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 exception- 
ally well on the Niagara peninsula where it is being planted on 
a considerable scale for the production of dry table wines. 
Widely adaptable. Spur or half-long pruning. 
\\ *SEIBEL 13047. Early, ripening between Seibel 5279 and 
Seyve-Villard 5276. Hardy, vigorous, disease resistant (though 
occasionally subject to black rot in wet years, which can be 
controlled by spraying) , and 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. Spur pruning. 
.( *SEYVE-VILLARD 5276. Early. Medium vigor, with no serious 
cultural defects, highly productive. Superior wine, clean and 
brisk. A variety of great promise for American viticulture. 
Spur pruning. 
\ SEYVE-VILLARD 12303. Late mid-season. Great vigor, heavy 
producer of long pyramidal bunches of large oval berries, 
somewhat susceptible to black rot, at its best in the Southwest. 
Fruit handsome and good to eat. Neutral white wine of good 
quality, sometimes blended in Southern France with a deeply 
colored variety to make a red wine. Spur pruning. 
\( SEYVE-VILLARD 12309. Late mid-season. Resembles Seyve- 
Villard 12303 as to wine but disease resistance 1s superior. 
Heavy producer, big, handsome compound bunches, fruit 
amber turning to deep pink on the exposed side. Good wine, 
and good to eat. Spur pruning. 
\/ *sEYVE-VILLARD 12375. Mid-season. First cousin to the 
above two varieties, but ripens ten days earlier. Superbly 
healthy vine, big production of good wine. Very popular in 
Southern France. Another variety of great promise in all but 
short-season areas, for wine and table. Spur pruning. 
\) SEYVE-VILLARD 14287. Early, with Seibel 13047. A true Mus- 
cat, for Muscatel or to heighten the aroma of neutral white 
wines. Moderate vigor, healthy, hardy except under extreme 
conditions, good production. Fruit sometimes ripens un- 
evenly. Spur pruning.
