Per Munson (see citation): "Originated by Hermann Jaeger, Neosho, MO., by hybridizing his No. 43 Post-Oak grape with a select staminate vine of Rupestris, -a seedling of his Rupestris No. 60. In every way similiar to America, except its leaf, cluster and berry are smaller, and the quality is not so good. When well pollinated, it bears immense crops, and is a fine red wine grape." Per Bushburg Catalogue (see citation): "The wood, foliate and fruit of this variety with large clusters and berries of its parents plainly show the blending of the two widely varying species, and anybody familiar with Rupestris and Post-Oak Vines will admit that it is impossible to combine greater resistance to extremes of both cold and hot weather, as also to drought. The vine is fertile to a fault; inheriting from it's male parent the faculty of producing three bearing shoots from each bud, besides fertile shoots on old wood. Bunches and grapes are black, about the color and size of Ives, or a little smaller and generally less compact; ripens about two weeks before Norton and hangs long to the vine. It yields a claret wine of good body and intense ruby color, having just enough of the peculiar flavor of the Lincecummii grape to be admired by some for its fruity taste." Per Our Native Grape: "Black, extremely hardy and productive; bunch and berry nearly or quite as large as Ives, but less compact; it colors early and ripens about twelve days before Norton. When fully ripe it has some of the peculiar Lincecumii flavor which remains in the wine, a very dark rich claret, much admired in Missouri for its 'fruity'aroma." | 1161453 | PI 188590 |

Per Munson (see citation): "Plant: Very slender growth, much more slender than V. rotundifolia; often branching, tips extending rapidly, appearing naked, owing to slow expansion of leaves. Roots: Large, little fibrous, pale yellow, covered with thick, firm warty bark, transversely wrinkled, possessing a fiery pungency, penetrating. Wood: When young 6 to 7 angled, dark red or crimson, nearly smooth or thinly set with silky hairs, with age becoming covered with numerous minute punctate dots or lenticose cells, like warts set in rows on the fine unequal striae, becoming more distinct and increasing with age till the vine has a rasp-like feeling as though covered with coarse sand, and acquiring a dark gray color; bark with little checking, no thready fiber, closely persistant; transverse section of ripe wood oval, with age becoming elliptical or even depressed elliptical, dense but less so than V. rotundifolia; [...] Leaves: Stipules very small, 1/12' long, orbicular, margin ciliate, pale pinkish; petiole usually as long as half the width of blade, sometimes more, more slender than in V. rotundifolia and proportionately shorter, deeply and distinctly grooved above, finely pubescent, purplish crimson, attached to blade at right or more acute angle; [...] Cluster: Forked, cyme-like, from the node of the tendril; divisions obscurely striated, warty, pale rusty brown when mature; pedicels 1/4' to 1/3' long, medium thick, little enlarged upward, warty. Flowers: 12 to 50 in fertile clusters; stamens and petals usually 5, often 6 and sometimes 7; in fertile, stamens about 1/12' long, recurved and bent laterally, little or no perceptible disc; ovary small, broad and short; style very short, about half the thickness of ovary, in length; stigma very small, semi-globose, nearly sessile,--stamens long, straight, ascending at an angle of 45 [degrees] to 50 [degrees] from axis of receptacle extended. Berries: 12 to 30, small, 1/5' to 1/3' in diameter, round, shining black, covered with numerous small brown punctate, or lenticose dots, but never having prunose bloom, quite persistent; very little pulp, juicy, with crimson or violet coloring mater next skin, which is thin; vinous, sometimes quite good but generally acid and devoid of the peculiar Muscadine flavor and odor common in V. rotundifolia. Seeds: 3 to 4 in each berry, small, 1/6' to 1/5' long by 1/10' to 1/16' broad, being not more than 1/4 or 1/5 as large in bulk on the average as in V. rotundifolia, sides often unequal, surface glossy, dark greenish-brown coffee color, much darker than in V. rotundifolia, beak very small, short, acute, or none; raphe plainly or obscurely visible but not prominent within the notch at top of seed till it reaches the inner face, there hair-like; [...] Vigorous but slender, more upright when young than V. rotundifolia, which is less branched and more sprawling in young vines, but becomes much more drooping, or weeping or trellis than V. rotundifolia, the lateral branches very slender, almost filiform. The ever-blooming character of this species, with its smaller seeds, larger clusters, more vinous and acid than V. rotundifolia, and its freedom from disease, may render it an excellent material with which to hybridize the finer V. vinifera, varieties to secure valuable grapes for the extreme south and and the tropics. Hybrids of this with V. coriacea and probably with other species have been found." The original collection was unsuccesful. It was received on 01/19/90 from Robert Zehnder. | 1019914 | DVIT 2359 |

Flowers fertile, open in mid-season; stamens upright. Fruit ripens from two to three weeks earlier than Concord, does not keep well. Clusters intermediate in size, length, and breadth, irregularly cylindrical to tapering, sometimes single-shouldered, inclined to looseness . . . Berries large to above medium, roundish, dark purplish-black to black, covered with abundant blue bloom, not very persistent, nearly firm. Skin intermediate in thickness, tender, adherent to the pulp, contains dark purplish-red pigment, not astringent. Flesh greenish, translucent, juicy, fine-grained and tough, with slight foxiness, sweet next the skin but somewhat acid at center, fair to good in quality." Per T.V. Munson (see citation): "Originated from Concord seed, and introduced in 1877. Its vine greatly resembles Concord, but is less vigorous, very healthy and the fruit not attacked by black rot so much, nor does it crack. Bunch medium, compact, little shouldered; berry is very large, black, persistent to pedicel, skin tougher than in Concord; pulp still firmer than Concord, but yet much the best black Labrusca variety ripening at that time, which is very early, soon after Champion. Not valuable for the extreme South, but much liked as an early market grape in the North." | 1002837 | DVIT 107 |

Per Bush and Son and Meissner (see citation): "The wood, foliage, and fruit of this variety with large clusters and berries of its parents plainly show the blending of the two widely varying species, and anybody familiar with Rupestris and Post-Oak vines will admit that it is impossible to combine greater resistence to extremes of both cold and hot weather, as also to drought. The vine is fertile to a fault; inheriting from its male parent the faculty of producing three bearing shoots from each bud, besides fertile shoots on old wood. Bunches and grapes are black, about the color and size of Ives, or a little smaller and generally less compact; ripens about two weeks before Norton and hangs long to the vine. It yields a claret wine of good body and intense ruby color, having just enough of the peculiar flavor of the Lincecumii grape be admired by some for its fruity taste." Per T.V. Munson (see citation): "In every way similiar to America, except its leaf, cluster and berry are smaller, and the quality is not so good. When well pollinated, it bears immense crops, and is a fine red wine grape. I mention it, so as to show the prime origin of this vigorous, hardy, healthy family that promises to play an important part in American viticulture." Per K. Whealy (see citation): "Blue skin. Table grape. Female flowers. Midseason ripening." Per U.P.

Per Hedrick (see citation): "The original vine of Taylor was a wild seedling found in the early [1800's] on the Cumberland Mountains near the Kentucky-Tennessee line by a Mr. Cobb who planted the vine on his farm in Shelby County, Kentucky. Vine vigorous to rank, healthy, hardy, variable in productiveness. Leaves small, attractive in color, smooth. Flowers bloom early; stamens reflexed. Fruit ripens about two weeks before Isabella. Clusters small to medium, shouldered, loose to moderately compact. Berries small to medium, roundish, pale greenish-white, sometimes tinged with amber. Skin very thin. Pulp sweet, spicy, fair to good in quality." Per Munson (see citation): "Vine vigorous, healthy, with light colored wood, and lively green, large toothed Vulpina-like leaves; cluster very small, usualy straggling, as the flower is imperfect; berries small, round, yellowish-white, translucent, of pure good quality, seeds small. The variety is valueless for direct production, but has been used extensively in France as a resistant graft stock, and in this country has been of great value as a hardy, healthy, high quality base from which to breed and has yielded many hybrids with Labrusca and other species." Information taken from http:\\www.wine-lovers-page.com\wineguest\wgg.html: "Historically important American variety . . . One of the most compatible vines used by the hybridizers during the 19th century phylloxera crisis in Europe. Still grown on that continent where it is mainly used to produce a sweet dessert wine.

Per Munson (see citation): "Vine a weak grower and shy bearer, cluster medium, compact; berry large, yellowish-white, globular, skin very tender, easily cracks, subject to rot, quality the best of any Conord seedling; very early, unprofitable." Per Bushburg Catalogue (see citation): "One of the best early white grapes...It is unsuited for distant shipping and rough handling. It is a pure Concord seedling, and has almost the vigor, health and hardiness of its parent; is free from mildew, but subject to rot. The vine, in its habit of growth, foliage and general appearance, is similiar to Concord, requires a good fertile soil to bear well, but will overbear if not thinned. The vines survive without injury severe cold winters. In quality it is better flavored and more delicate than Concord. In color, light greenish-yellow, covered with white bloom. Seed few and small; skin thin; pulp tender; flavor sweet, slightly vinous, and the foxy aroma of its class considerably chastened down. Although extra early in ripening, it is late in starting its buds in spring, and thereby escapes the evil effects of late spring frosts." | 1002443 | DVIT 87 |

Per Hedrick (see citation): "The grape described here was originated by Munson from seed of jaeger No. 43 pollinated by a male Rupestris. Vine vigorous to very vigorous, usually hardy, produces heavy crops. Leaf-buds open in mid-season, medium to small, of average length, rather thick, conical to obtuse. Flowers sterile, usually on plan of six, open late; stamens reflexed. Fruit ripens with Concord or later, keeps well. Clusters nearly large, above medium length, broad, tapering, somewhat cylindrical, irregular, usually single-shouldered, averaging two or three bunches per shoot, usually compact. Berries medium to small, variable in size, roundish, attractive black or purplish-black, glossy, covered with heavy blue bloom, persistent, somewhat soft. Skin thin, very tender, adheres slightly to the pulp, contains an unusually large amount of purplish-red pigment, slightly astringent. Flesh dull white with faint reddish tinge, translucent, not very juicy, tender, not stringy, melting, spicy, vinous, sweet, good in quality. There is a second variety under the name America, as Ricketts years ago introduced an America which has probably passed from cultivation." Per Munson (see citation): "Very prolific with long arm pruning and when pollenized by other varieties, as it does not thoroughly pollenize itself. Beacon and Concord are good mates. Endures the severest drought with ease. Has passed through 27 degrees below zero without damage. Not attacked by mildew, rot or leaf-folder, and has given excellent results in California as a resistant graft stock for Vinifera varieties. Adapted South and Noth. Plant 12 to 14 feet apart." | 1000368 | DVIT 9 |

Per Munson (see citation): "Vine vigorous, but less so than Herbemont; foliage larger and darker green, and very sensitive to Downy Mildew in moist regions, also the fruit to Black Rot, but in Southwest Texas it flourishes in health and bears great crops of very long, rather open clusters of round, small, black berries, with rich sprightly red juice; makes a fine claret; ripens a little before Herbemont." Per Hedrick (see citation): "The origin of Lenoir is unknown. Nicolas Herbemont states in 1829 that its name was given it from a man named Lenoir who cultivated it near Stateburg, South Carolina, in the vicinity of the Santee River. Vine vigorous, thrifty, semi-hardy, usually quite productive. Leaves from two to seven lobed, usually five, and of a characteristic bluish-green color above and a more pale green below. Clusters quite variable, medium to very large, tapering, usually shouldered. Berries small to medium, round, of a dark bluish-purple, nearly black, with lilac bloom. Skin rather thick, tough. Flesh slightly juicy, tender, subacidly sweet, very rich in coloring matter." Per Bushburg Catalogue (see citation): "Bunch medium to large, shouldered.

Endures heat, drought and cold remarkably well. Succeeds in black, limy soils. Not injured by mildew. Cluster medium, ovate, sometimes shouldered, compact; berries globular, large, persistent; does not crack; pulp about same as Moore Early, more juicy and very sweet and agreeable. Ripens early and evenly. Sells in the market as well or better than Concord and ships far better. Little attacked by rot. A good market and a fair table grape. Flowers have reflexed stamens, hence it must be grown near some variety with erect stamens flowering at same time, such as Ives; then it bears well. Plant 10 to 12 feet apart. Give long pruning." Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vigorous, hardy; cluster medium, ovate, compact; berries globular, large, black, persistent; juicy, very sweet and agreeable; good; early; stamens reflexed." | 1002604 | DVIT 95 |

Per Munson (see citation): "Growth very strong, not attacked by mildew, endures Texas climate perfectly. Clusters medium, cylindrical, shouldered, with short peduncle, compact. Berries a good size larger than Herbemont, about equal to Herbemont. Ripens some three weeks later than Herbemont, and hangs on through September and sells well in the market. It makes a fine white wine. A shy bearer on short arm pruning, but on long arms it bears heavily. Succeeds everywhere in the South. A splendid arbor grape. 14 to 16 feet." Per Our Native Grape, pg.160: "Bunch medium, cylindrical; berry medium, purple, tender skin but tough; flesh juicy, melting, best quality; very vigorous grower, prolific."

Per Munson (see citation): "Vine resemblng Concord, but less vigorous, cluster small, shouldered, open, berry medium, globular, yellowish, skin thin, but seldom cracks; ripens early; pulp tender, much sweeter than Concord, and more foxy when fully ripe. Now unprofitable in comparison with Niagara, Diamond, etc." Per Bushburg Catalogue (see citation): "Bunch medium, smaller than the Concord, moderately compact, shouldered; berry medium, round, greenish-white - when fully ripe pale yellow covered with white bloom; skin thin; flesh tender, and of a remarkable sweetness unmixed with acidity and without vinous flavor; somewhat pulpy, often containing but a single seed. Odor decidedly foxy, but his character is much mroe apparent in the fruit than in its wine. The vine is very healthy and hardy, resembling the Concord, but not as vigorous a grower, and the leaf is of somewhat lighter green, the fruit less liable to rot than the Concord. Ripens earlier than the Concord and will therefore suit even northern localities. Must 85 to 90 degrees, about 10 degrees higher than Concord. The wine is of a light straw color, of delicate flavor." Per Hedrick (see citation): "Samuel Miller, then of Calmdale, Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, grew Martha from seed of Concord sent him by E.W. Bull. Vine variable in vigor, hardy, intermediate in productiveness, somewhat susceptible to attacks of mildew in unfavorable seasons. Leaves large to medium, rather thick. Flowers self-fertile, open in mid-season. Fruit ripens somewhat earlier than Concord, does not keep nor ship well. Berries medium in size, roundish, light green with tinge of yellow, covered with thin gray bloom, persistent, medium in firmness. Skin thin, very tender, does not usually crack, adheres considerably to the pulp, contains no pigment, with scarely any astringency. Flesh pale yellowish green, juicy, moderately tough, fine-grained, slightly foxy, sweet at skin to somewhat tart at center..." | 1002641 | DVIT 97 |
