them. Those listed below will really open your eyes! Beautiful to look 
at, offering an astonishing array of flavor and texture and a wide 
range of ripening dates, they open new possibilities for both amateur 
and professional fruit-grower. On roadside stands, they sell on 
sight. Two of these are refined and greatly improved American 
varieties. The others are of French origin, and most but not all have 
already been mentioned in the sections dealing with grapes for wine. 
t ELLEN scott. A late mid-season variety of Texas origin, far and 
away the best creation of the late T. V. Munson, a man who 
contributed so much to grape-breeding that he was awarded 
the Legion of Honor by the French Government. Vine 1s 
healthy and of good vigor, bearing huge, handsome bunches 
of extra-large berries which range in color from pink to garnet. 
Fully ripened, it has a pure and delicate flavor. Will also 
double as a white-wine grape. For long-season areas. Half- 
long pruning. 
~\srruBEN. Medium early. By all odds the finest hybrid to date 
from the New York State Experiment Station at Geneva, N. Y. 
Ripens a bit before Concord, and has an area of adaptability 
much wider, we believe, than Concord. Vine is vigorous and 
sufficiently disease-resistant. Heavy producer of gorgeous 
bluish-lavender bunches which ripen evenly. Its beauty and 
delicious spicy flavor will be a revelation to those who enjoy 
grapes of the American type, and no vineyard should be with- 
out a few. Also yields an agreeable aromatic white wine and a 
_ pale-pink grape juice for home use. Long pruning. 
, SEIBEL 5279. Early, see White Wine Varieties. Excellent for 
home use or roadside stands and for white grape-juice as well 
as wine. 
\. SEIBEL 9110. See White Wine Varieties. Loose but well-filled 
bunches. Delicious to eat and stunning to look at. 
N sE1BEL 13047. See White Wine Varieties. Perhaps the showiest 
bunches of the lot, edible skin like the other French eating 
varieties. 
-\ SEIBEL 15051. Offered for the first time this season. Huge double- 
shouldered bunches, pearl-grey fruit. Crisp texture and deli- 
cately spicy. Also a wine-grape, though not so listed this sea- 
son owing to limited quantity. Spur pruning. 
SEYVE-VILLARD 12303, 12309, 12375,'14287. All listed 
under White Wine Varieties, all good table grapes, the latter 
for those who love the true Muscat flavor.
