Per Hedrick (see citation): "Black Hamburg is a variety of V. vinifera, impossible to grow out of doors in eastern America, but illustrated and described here because it is one of the parents of many hybrids with American species and because it represents, in fruit characters at least, about all that is desirable in a good grape. Since it is a standard of excellence which American breeders of table grapes have long sought to attain, we may name its points of superiority over the table grapes now grown in our vineyards. 1st. Bunch and berry are large, well formed, and uniform. 2nd. The fruits have a higher sugar and solid content than most American grapes and keep better, ship better, make better wine and will make raisins. 3rd. The flavor, to most palates, is richer, more delicate, and lacks the acidity of some American grapes and the foxiness of others. 4th. The pulp and skin of Black Hamburg are more tender than the varieties of the species of this country and the seeds are readily separated from the pulp. 5th. The berries do not shell from the stem readily. 6th. The vines are more compact in habit, make a shorter and stouter annual growth, and hence require less pruning and training. 7th. The fruit is borne in greater quantity, vine for vine or acre for acre. Added to the above qualities which make it desirable as a parent when crosses are made between the grapes of this country and V. vinifera, are comparative hardiness among its kind, a short seasonal cycle of vegetation giving early maturity to fruit, ability to stand more hardships than most of its species, and especially ability to mature its fruit with as small amount of solar heat as any of its species. Its weaknesses when planted out of doors in eastern America are those of its species, which wholly prevent its successful cultivation in the vineyards of this region and make it of interest and value only in breeding and as an ideal toward which to breed. [...] Vine vigorous, tender, productive. Canes long, numerous, rather thick to medium, light brown but darker at nodes, covered with faint pubescence; nodes enlarged, slightly flattened; internodes short to medium; diaphragm thick; pith large; shoots slightly pubescent; tendrils intermittent, frequently several nodes with no tendrils, long, bifid to trifid, dehisce early. Leaf-buds large to medium, rather long, somwhat thick, conical to obtuse. Leaves good size, thin; upper surface light green, rather dull, of average smoothness; lower surface slightly lighter than upper surface, with small amount of pubescence, hairy; veins moderately distinct; lobes vary from none to five, terminal lobe nearly acute; petiolar sinus often strongly urn-shaped, of average depth, nearly narrow, sometimes closed and overlapping; basal sinus shallow to narrow; lateral sinus rather deep to narrow, often notched; teeth very irregular in depth and width. Fruit ripens early in October, keeps well. Clusters large, long to medium, rather broad, cylindrical to tapering, inclined to irregular, usually single-shouldered, nearly compact; peduncle medium to short, somewhat thick; pedicel long, slender, covered with small, numerous, prominent warts; brush short, thick, tinged with red. Berries rather large, oval to nearly roundish, dark purple ot nearly black, slightly glossy, covered with faint blue or lilac bloom, do not drop from pedicel, moderate in firmness. Skin thin, tender, adheres to the pulp, contains no pigment, not astringent. Flesh pale green, tender, fine-grained, vinous, sprightly, rather sweet and refreshing, very good to best. Seeds separate easily, one to four averaging two or three, above medium size, long, rather narrow, sharply pointed, brownish; raphe obscure; chalaza intermediate in size, decidedly above center, distinct, circular to oval." | 1019785 | DVIT 2341 |

Per Hedrick (see citation): "The Scuppernong is preeminently the grape of the South. It is the chief representative of the great species Vitis rotundifolia, which runs riot in natural luxurience from Delaware and Maryland to the Gulf, and westward from the Atlantic to Arkansas and Texas. [...] Scuppernong is said to have been found on Roanoke island at the time of the landing of Sir Walter Raleigh's colony. There is a tradition that an old vine now growing on this island is the original vine. [...] Scuppernong vines are to be found on arbors, or half wild, on trees and fences on nearly every farm in the South Atlantic States. As a rule, these vines receive little cultivation, are unpruned, and are given no care of any kind, but even under neglect they produce large and sure crops, are almost immune to mildew, rot, phylloxera, or other fungal or insect pests. The plants give not only and abundance of fruit but on arbors and trellises are much prized for their shade and beauty. [...] The fruit to a palate accustomed to other grapes, is not very acceptable, having a musky flavor and a somewhat repugnant odor, which, however, becomes with familiararity, it is said, quite agreeable. The pulp is sweet and juicy but is lacking in sprightliness. [...] Vine vigorous to rank, not hardy in the North, very productive. Canes long, numerous, slender, vary from ash-gray to grayish-brown; surface smooth, thickly covered with small, light brown dots; pith greenish; tendrils intermittent, simple. Leaves small, thin; upper surface light green, smooth; lower surface very pale green, slightly pubescent along the ribs, otherwise smooth; veins inconspicuous. Flowers open very late; stamens reflexed. Fruit ripens late, even in the South, often ripening unevenly, appears to keep well but berries drop as they mature. Clusters small, roundish, not shouldered, loose. Berries very few per cluster, large, roundish, dull green often with brownish tinge, not persistent, firm. Skin very thick and tough, covered with many small russet dots; no pigment. Flesh pale green, juicy, tender and soft, fine-grained, very foxy, sweet to agreeably tart, fair to good in quality. Seeds slightly adherent to pulp, large, medium to short, often very broad, not notched, quite blunt, plump, surface unusually smooth, brownish; raphe buried in a narrow, shallow groove; chalaza small, nearly central, elongated, rather obscure.

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.

Per Bush and Son and Meissner (see citation): "It is a very fine white grape, but unfortunately very tender in winter and subject to mildew in summer, of weak growth, deficient foliage. On south walls, in well protected situations, with dry soil and good culture, it succeeds very well, and produces most delicious white grapes, ripening almost as early as Delaware. Bunches medium, compact, not shouldered; berries medium, obovate; skin thin, pale green, tinged with yellow or pale amber color at full maturity, covered with a thin white bloom, considerably translucent. Flesh tender, juicy, free from pulp, sweet with a peculiar musky and luscious aroma distinct from any other grape; seeds small; leaves of scarcely a medium size, very deeply lobed, and sharply serrated." | 1003242 | DVIT 129 |
| 46 | DVIT 13 | 'Bacchus' | Vitis hybr. | New York, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | DEVELOPED | | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per Hedrick (see citation): "Its special point of merit from a broad standpoint are: Resistance to cold, resistance to phylloxera, value for wine-making, freedom fungi and insects, productiveness, ease of multiplication, and capacity to bear grafts. For the above qualities it offers exceptional opportunities to the plant-breeder. Its most prominent limitations are: Poor quality for table use, inability to withstand dry soils or droughts and non-adaptibility to soils containing much lime. Highly thought of as a wine grape. Vine very vigorous, hardy, healthy, productive. Leaf-buds open early, of average size, rather short, thick, obtuse to conical. Leaves medium to small, thin. Flowers open early, sterile. Fruit ripens late and keeps well, hanging a long time on the vine. Berries variable in size, below medium to small, roundish, black, glossy, covered with a moderate amound of blue bloom, hang well to pedicels, firm. Skin thin, of average toughness, adheres only slightly to the pulp, contains much wine-colored pigment, slightly astringent. Flesh dark green, translucent, fine-grained, somewhat tough, vinous, sweet at skin to tart near seeds, with slight Riparia spiciness, of medium quality, improving as the season advances. Must registers 95-110 degrees." For additional information, see Bushburg Catalogue (citation below). | 1000513 | DVIT 13 |

Per Hedrick (see citation): "...vigorous form of hte riparia type with pubescent young growth, differing from the typical Riparia in having more, less lobed leaves and more incised teeth. Its leaves are frequently pubescent beneath. Another form with dentate margin of leaf has been known under the name of Nuevo Mexicana or Novo Mexicana. The references to these two forms are inextricably confused. Engelmann refers to this grape which he says he found growing in the botanic garden of Berlin under the name of Vitis solonis. After careful investigation he decided that htis name was a corruption of Vitis longii, or Long's grape, which had been grought from the headwaters of the Arkansas river by Major Long's expedition in to that then unknown country in the early part of the last century. Many botanists consider this a hybrid of two or more other species, Riparia, Rupestris, Candicans and Cordifolia being offered as probable parents. Its habitat is northern Texas 'westard into New Mexico, eastward into Oklahoma and northward into Kansas and southeastern Colorado.' Vitis longii was first described by Prince in 1830.

Per Hedrick (see citation): "Eldorado is one of the best flavored of all early green grapes but unfortunately it has defects which have kept it from becoming popular and it is now rapidly passing from cultivation. It is delicately flavored, with a very distinct aroma and taste; the flesh is tender, melting and sweet from skin to seeds, all qualities very rarely found in an early grape. The season is about that of Moore Early, a time when there are few other really good white grapes Eldorado is a full sister of Lady Washington and is if anything better flavored than that most excellent variety. These two grapes are secondary hybrids of Labrusca and Vinefera, Concord being the native parent. The vines inherit most of the good qualities of Concord but Eldorado does not inherit Concord's ability to set fruit well; even with cross-pollination it sometimes fails to bear and is not worth growning unless planted in a mixed vineyard. The clusters are often small and straggling under the best possible conditions that the variety cannot be highly recommended to the amateur yet its delightful flavor and its earliness may commend it to some." | 1013742 | DVIT 1433 |

Berkmans, a contemporary and friend of Dr. A.P. Wylie of Chester, South Carolina, who originated the variety and christened it Berkmans. Vine similiar to Clinton in growth and foliage, vigorous to very vigorous, hardy, produces average to good crops. Leaves medium to small, thin. Flowers open rather early, fertile; stamens upright. Fruit ripens with Delaware and keeps unusually well. Clusters attractive, much like Delaware in shape and size but slightly longer and more often shouldered, compact to medium, averaging slightly looser than either parent. Berries intermediate in size, slightly larger than Delaware, roundish to slightly oval, resemble Delaware in color but somewhat darker when well ripened, covered with lilac bloom, persistent, of average firmness. Skin thin, somewhat tough, slightly adhering to pulp, contains no pigment, nearly astringent.

Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vine very vigorous; shoots slightly pubescent or smooth when young; diapragms medium to rather thick; tendrils intermittent, usually bifid. Leaves with short, broad stipules; leaf-blade medium to very large, rather thin when young but becoming rather thick; petiolar sinus deep, usually narrow, frequently overlapping; margin rarely entire, usually three- to five-lobed; teeth dentate, shallow, medium wide; upper surface rather dark green; lower surface with more or less reddish or rusty pubescence which, in mature leaves, usually shows in patches on the ribs and veins; petioles frequently pubescent. Clusters medium to large, usually long, not much branched, with long peduncle. Berries small to medium, with moderate amount of bloom, usually somewhat astringent. Sedds two to three, of medium size to above, plump, usually smooth, not notched; chalaza oval, distinct; raphe a distinct cord-like ridge. Leafing and ripening fruit late to very late. Vitis aestivalis is variable, particularly in its leaf characters, such as quantity of pubescence, size, shape and thickness of leaf. Those who are most familiar with it are of the opinion that in a general way the leaves increase in thickness southward and that the pubescence diminishes in quantity and becomes stiffer on dry, poor soils. [...] The division of the origingal species has also reduced the habitat materially, confining it to the southeastern portion of the United States from southern New York to Florida and westward to the Mississippi River. Aestivalis grows in thickets and openings in the woods and shows no such fondness for streams as Riparia or for thick timber as Labrusca, but is generally confined to uplands. Under favorable circumstances the vines grow to be very large. Aestivalis is preeminently a wine grape. The fruit usually has a tart, acrid taste, due to the presence of a high percentage of acid, but there is also a large amount of sugar, the scale showing that juice from this species has a much higher percentage of sugar than the sweeter tasting Labruscas. The wine made from varieties of Aestivalis is very rich in coloring matter, and is used by some European vintners to mis with the must of European sorts in order to give the combined product a higher color. The berries are destitute of pulp, have a comparatively thin, tough skin, and a peculiar spicy flavor. The berries hang to the bunch after becoming ripe much better than do those of Labrusca. The species thrives in a lighter and shallower soil than Labrusca and appears to endure drouth better, although not equaling in this respect either Riparia or Rupestris. A southern or southeastern exposure gives better results for Aestivalis or Aestivalis hybrid vines than a northern one. The French growers report that Aestivalis is very liable to chlorosis on soils which contain much lime. The leaves are never injured by the sun, and they resist the attacks of insects, such as leaf-hoppers, better than any other American species under cultivation. Aestivalis is rarely injured by rot or mildew, according to American experience, but French growers speak of its being susceptible to both. The hard roots of Aestivalis enable it to resist phylloxera, and varieties with any great amount of the blood of this species are seldom seriously injured by this insect. An objection to Aestivalis, from a horticultural standpoint, is that it does not root well from cuttings, but this is an overstatement of the facts, as many of the wild and cultivated varieties are occasionally propagated in this manner, and some southern nurseries, located in particularly favorable situations, make a practice of propagating it by this method." | 1016531 | DVIT 1855 |

Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vine weak to moderately vigorous, hardy, medium in productiveness, healthy. Leaves medium to below in size, of average thickness. Flowers fertile, open in mid-season. Fruit ripens with Winchell, does not keep well. Clusters not uniform, small to above medium, short, slender, cylindrical, sometimes single-shouldered, compact to straggling. Berries variable in size, large to below medium, roundish, light green, often with tinge of yellow, glossy, covered with thin gray bloom, persistent, firm. Skin covered with small, scattering, dark dots, inclined to crack, thin, tender, adheres slightly to the pulp, contains no pigment, slightly astringent. Flesh greenish-white, translucent, juicy, tender, aromatic, agreeably sweet from skin to center, very good in quality." 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 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.

Vitis monticola was named and described by Buckley in 1861. Monticola inhabits the limestone hills of central and southwestern Texas. The fruit of this species has a very sweet and somewhat peculiar flavor. The vines can be propagated from cuttings only with difficulty. The spoecies is adapted to a hot, dry climate and limestone land. It is found to be very resistant to phylloxera and is sometimes recommended as a stock for Vinifera but is not generally considered as valuable in this respect as Berlandieri. It is without value for its fruit and is of no horticultural importance to the eastern American grape-grower." | 1012800 | DVIT 1302 |

Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vine very vigorous, climbing; shoots cylindrical with much brownish pubescence; diaphragms very thick; tendrils intermittent. Leaves stipules short and broad; leaf-blade rather thin, large, broadly cordate, usually considerably lobed; petiolar sinus of medium width and depth; margin coarsely toothed; upper surface slightly rugose and of a dark-green; lower surface with rusty white pubescence sometimes becoming almost a blue green; the shape of leaf and amount of pubscence vary widely. Cluster large, loose; peduncle long; pedicel thick. Berries small to medium, more tender in pulp and less astringent than Vitis aestivalis, black with moderate amount of bloom. Leafing, blooming, and ripening fruit late. Simpsoni prefers warm, sandy soils and is found in central and southern Florida. It roots from cuttings with great difficulty; it is tender and will not withstand cold winters. While it is very resistant to phylloxera and also to mildew and black-rot, its leaves are said to be much attacked by leaf-rollers. The blossoming period is just after Aestivalis.

Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vine variable in vigor, usually very vigorous, climbing high, sometimes, when without support, shrubby and only three or four feet high; when growing in the shade often sending down aerial roots. Wood hard, bark smooth, not scaling off except in old age, with prominent warty lenticels; shoots short-jointed, angled, with fine scurfy pubescence; diaphragms absent; tendrils intermittent, simple. Leaves below medium in size, broadly cordate or roundish; petiolar sinus rather wide, usually shallow; margin with obtuse, wide teeth; not lobed; dense in texture, rather light green color, glabrous above, glabrous or sometimes pubescent along veins below. Cluster small (6-24 berries), loose; peduncle short; pedicels short, rather thick. Berries large, globular or somewhat oblate, black or greenish-yellow; skin usually thick, tough, and with a musky odor; pulp rather tough; ripening unevenly and dropping as soon as ripe. Seeds two to four, very large to medium, shaped something like a coffee-berry, somewhat flattened, shallowly and broadly notched; beak very short; chalaza rather narrow, slightly depressed with radiating ridges and furrows; raphe a narrow groove. Leafing, flowering and ripening very late. The habitat of this species is southern Delaware, west through Tennessee, southern Illinois, southeastern Missouri, Arkansas (except the northwestern portions), to Grayson County, Texas, as a northern and western boundaryry, to the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf on the east and south. It becomes rare as one approaches the western limit but is common in many sections of the great region named above, being most abundant on sandy, well-drained bottom lands and along river banks and in swamps, thick woodlands and thickets. [...] The climate most suitable for Rotundifolia is that in which cotton grows and it thrives best in the lower portions of the cotton belt of the United States. On account of the late ripening of the fruit it requires a long season. Vines of Rotundifolia have been known to withstand a winter temperature as low as 12 degrees below zero, but under ordinary conditions this would undoubtedly be much too severe for most Rotundifolias. They do not suffer from the effects of hot summers but will not withstand drought and are not well adapted to semi-arid conditions. All growers of varieties of this species agree that it does best on light sandy or alluvial soils; and while it may grow on rather heavy clays, if all other conditions are favorable, its vigor will be lessened. [...] Rotundifolia is remarkably resistant to the attacks of all insects and to fungal diseases. The phylloxera do not attack its roots and it is considered as resistant as any other, if not the most resistant of all American species. It is grown from cuttings only with difficulty. However, under favorable circumstances and with skilful handling, this is a successful method of propagation." | 1015531 | DVIT 1693 |
