| 0 | DVIT 31 | Chataqua | Vitis labrusca L. | New York, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | DEVELOPED | 1892 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per U.P. Hedrick (see citation): "Vine medium to vigorous, not always hardy, not productive. Leaves large, irregularly roundish, dark green; lower surface tinged with bronze. Flowers semi-fertile to nearly fertile, open in mid-season or earlier. Fruit ripens in mid-season or a few days earlier. Berries unusually large, roundish to slightly oval, dark purplish-black, covered with abundant blue bloom, shatter badly. Skin thin, very astringent. Flesh rather tough, vinous, sweet at skin to acid at center, good to very good in quality." Per Mitzky and co. (see citation): "Very hardy and as a strong a grower as Concord. Bunches large with extra large berries, holding firmly to the stem; blue black perhaps a little lighter than Concord; excellent flavor, sprightly; flesh tender and melting; skin thin but firm; a good shipping and market Grape. Its mammoth size makes it very attractive; ripens with Concord." Per Bush and Son and Meissner (see citation): "Similiar to Concord; blue black, its extra large berries make it attractive; said to be of excellent flavor and quality; not yet sufficiently tested." | 1001086 | DVIT 31 |
| 1 | DVIT 32 | Chontay | Vitis hybr. | South Dakota, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | DEVELOPED | 1925 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. See Hedrick for information on parents (citation below). Per R.M. Brooks and H.P. Olmo (citation below): "Fruit: very large; skin bluish-purple; flavor very good; seeds separate easily from flesh. Vine: vigorous. Now obsolete." | 1001134 | DVIT 32 |
| 2 | DVIT 33 | Clevener | Vitis hybr. | California, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | DONATED | 01/01/1983 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per Bush and Son and Meissner (see citation below): "The plant has a very vigorous growth and blossoms profusely, being one of the earliest to bloom; sometimes it sets its fruit in medium-sized, compact clusters, which are black when ripe and scarcely distinguishable from the Diogenes; it is also considered rot-proof, making a very dark - in fact, inky - wine (which, however, loses much of its inky character with age). The ripe fruit produces a sugary must with a very small fruit portion of acid." Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vine a rampant grower, hardy, medium to productive, somewhat subject to attacks of leaf hoppers. Foliage very healthy; leaves unusally large, intermediate in thickness, dark green with well defined ribs showing through the thin pubescence of the under surface. Flowers sterile, open very early; stamens reflexed. Fruit ripens late, and appears to keep well. Berries small to medium, roundish to slightly flattened, black, rather glossy, covered with blue bloom, peristent, firm. Skin rather tough, thinnish and inclined to crack, adheres slightly to the pulp, contains an unusually large amount of dark purplish-red pigment. Flesh reddish-green, moderately juicy, rather tender and soft, fine-grained, very slightly aromatic, spicy, neither so sprightly nor so high-flavored as other varieties of the same season, not good enough in flavor and quality in general for dessert purposes." | 1001159 | DVIT 33 |
| 3 | DVIT 34 | Cloeta | Vitis hybr. | Texas, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | DEVELOPED | 1902 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per U.P. Hedrick (see citation): "Vine very vigorous, hardy, produces fair to good crops, suceptible to attacks of mildew . . . Leaves small to above medium, rather thick. Flowers bloom in midseason; stamens upright. Fruit ripens after mid-season, does not keep well . . . Berries medium to small, oval to roundish, black, covered with a fair amount of blue bloom, very persistent, not firm. Skin very thin and tender, contains a large amount of wine-colored pigment. Flesh somewhat tough and solid, sweet at skin to acid at center, spicy, medium to above in quality." | 1001191 | DVIT 34 |
| 4 | DVIT 36 | Dr. Collier | Vitis hybr. | Texas, United States | DAV | | Not Available | 1983 | DEVELOPED | 1885 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per U.P. Hedrick (see citation): "Vigorous, productive; tendrils intermittent; stamens upright; cluster medium to large, variable in compactness; berries large, roundish, dark reddish-purple, heavy bloom; flesh tender, fine-grained, vinous, nearly sweet; quality good; ripens just after Concord." Per T.V. Munson (see citation): "Vine vigorous, learge leaves, stocky, prolific. Cluster large, conical, not very compact; berries large, globular, clear handsome red, persistent, does not drop or crack, skin thin, flesh little pulpy, very juicy; should be thouroughly ripe, as otherwise rather acid, quality good; ripe about a week later than Concord. In Oklahoma this grape is put at the head as a profitable market variety. Soil and climate there just suit it." | 1001249 | DVIT 36 |
| 5 | DVIT 37 | Columbian | Vitis hybr. | Missouri, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | DONATED | 03/10/1948 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per Bush and Son and Meissner (see citation): "Vine claimed to be a strong grower with large, thick, leathery leaf. Bunch and berry similiar to Moore's Early; black, of high favor in its locality as a market and table grape, by the very large size of its berries, showy and of fine quality, and early ripening." Per U.P. Hedrick (see citation): "Originated about the same time as Columbian Imperial and probably identical with it. The literature of the two is so confused, Columbian Imperial having been sold as Columbian, that it is impossible to determine whether they are distinct." Per T.V. Munson: "The Union Village (renamed 'Columbian' and 'Columbian Imperial') is one of [Isabella's] seedlings, having immensely large purple berries ripening very late and unevenly, with vine and leaves almost exactly like its parent, showing in fruit and seed, characteristics of Black Hamburg, but owing to the uneven ripening and the severe attacks of the bunch worm and grape curculio, the variety is of little value, except for jelly." | 1001276 | DVIT 37 |
| 6 | DVIT 43 | Cynthiana | Vitis hybr. | Virginia, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | COLLECTED | 1835 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per T.V. Munson (see citation): "Vine very vigorous and free from all disease, prolific, leaves large, leathery, with tufts of brown wool on under side, clusters large, compact and somewhat compounded for this species, with long peduncle; berries small, globular, black, perisistent, skin thin, tough, never cracks; pulp not very juicy, of pure vinous sprightly flavor, seeds small, juice claret-red, blooms and ripens late, some two weeks after Concord." Per Bush and Son and Meissner (see citation): "Berry below medium, round, black with blue bloom, sweet, spicy, moderately juicy. Juice dark red; weighs very heavy on the must scale, even higher than Norton's Virginia, and, so far, makes our best red wine. It has as much body as Norton's, is of exquisite flavor, and can safely enter the lists with Burgundy wines . . . Vine vigorous and healthy, free from rot, productive, and as sure here in its crops of well ripened fruit as any variety we know, but very difficult to propagate, as its wood is very hard, with a small pith and closely adhering outer bark. The fruit ripens some few days earlier than Norton's." Per U.P. Hedrick (see citation): "Vine vigorous, hardy, usually a good yielder. Leaves variable in size, thick, firm. Fruit ripens very late and keeps well. Berries small, roundish, black, covered with a moderate amount of blue bloom, persistent, firm. Skin thin, tough, rather adherent to the pulp, contains a slight amount of purple pigment, astringent. Flesh darkish green, translucent, juicy, tough and solid, spicy, rather tart, poor in quality as a dessert grape." | 1001446 | DVIT 43 |
| 7 | DVIT 44 | Daisy | Vitis hybr. | Kansas, United States | DAV | | Not Available | 1983 | DEVELOPED | | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per U.P. Hedrick (see citation): "Vine intermediate in vigor, not hardy or productive, an uncertain bearer. Tendrils continuous, bifid to sometimes trifid. Leaves small to medium, light green; lower surface slightly pubescent. Flowers nearly self-fertile, open in mid-season; stamens upright. Fruit ripens with Concord or soon after, does not keep well. Clusters of medium size, rather loose. Berries medium to small, distinctly oval, somewhat darker red than Agawam, covered with thin lilac bloom, persistent, not firm. Flesh soft and tender, vinous, sweet, of pleasant flavor, good in quality." Per Bush and Son and Meissner: "Bunch medium size, rather loose. Berry resembling Isabella in shape, dark red with lilac bloom; pulp tender, sweet, pleasant flavored, vinous, slightly astringent; skin thin, seeds few; ripens about with Worden." | 1001472 | DVIT 44 |
| 8 | DVIT 46 | Delicious | Vitis hybr. | Texas, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | DEVELOPED | 1887 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per Hedrick (see citation): "Vigorous, productive, healthy; stamens upright; bunch medium, moderately compact; berry medium, round, black with blue bloom; sprightly, sweet; skin thin, tough; ripens a little after Concord." | 1001524 | DVIT 46 |
| 9 | DVIT 47 | Dracut Amber | Vitis labrusca L. | Massachusetts, United States | DAV | | | 1983 | DEVELOPED | 1855 | | | | | Cultivated material | Type = American Hybrid. Per U.P. Hedrick (see citation): "Vine vigorous, hardy, productuve, somewhat susceptible to attacks of leaf-hoppers . . . Leaves large to medium, rather thick; upper surface dark green, dull, smoothish. Flowers sometimes on plan of six, slightly sterile to fertile, open in mid-season . . . Fruit ripens earlier than Concord, does not keep well, as the berries soon shrivel. Clusters not especially satisfactory in general appearance, variable in size, short to medium, rather broad, somewhat cylindrical, irregular, rarely shouldered, compact to medium . . . Berries medium to large, variable in shape ranging from oval to roundish, dull pale red or dark amber, covered with thin lilac or faint blue bloom, often inclined to drop when overripe, soft. Skin unusually thick, somewhat tender, adheres slightly to pulp, contains no pigment, slightly astringent. Flesh greenish, translucent, juicy, rather fine-grained and tough, very foxy, moderately sweet to decidedly acid at center, inferior in quality." Per Bush and Son and Meissner (see citation): "Bunch large and long, compact, often shouldered; berries large, round; skin thick, of pale red color; pulpy and foxy." Per T.V. Munson (see citation): "Bred from the wild "Fox Grape" of [Massachussets] region. Bunch medium, cylindrical, compact; berries large, globular, dull red; very thick skin, pulpy and very foxy. Vine vigorous, prolific, healthy, fruit free from rot; very early, berries drop from cluster in basket, valueless in market, but fine for jellies." Information taken from http:\\www.wine-lovers-page.com\wineguest\wgg.html: "Vigorous, hardy variety, ripening somewhat earlier than Concord, to give a pale red-dark amber skinned berry cliamed to be of little use except as a mediocre, foxy table grape or breeding grape. Rapid berry shriveling makes it a poor candidate for keeping." | 1001545 | DVIT 47 |
