. Cyclopedia of hardy fruits. Fruit; Fruit-culture. 228. Lindley. (X%) the berries neither crack nor shatter. The vine is vigorous, hardy for a Vinifera hybrid, healthy, but, like most of its kind, susceptible to mil- dew. The chief defects of Lindley are self- sterility, precariousness in bearing, and lack of adaptation to many soils. Lindley is a general favorite in the garden. In 1869, Rogers gave this grape its name in honor of John Lindley, the English botanist. Vine vigorous, usually hardy, susceptible to mildew. Canes very long, dark reddish-brown with thin bloom; nodes enlarged, usually flattened : internodes long, thick ; obscurely three-lobed with terminus acute; petiolar sinus deep, narrow, often closed and overlapping; teeth shallow. Flowers self-sterile, open in midseason; stamens reflexed. Fruit midseason, keeps and ships well. Clusters long, broad, cylindrical, frequently single-shouldered, the shoulder being connected to the bunch by a long stem, loose; pedicel short, slender, smooth : brush short, pale green. Berries large, round- oval, dark-red with faint bloom; skin tough, adherent, unpigmented, strongly astringent; flesh pale green, translucent, juicy, fine-grained, tender, vinous; good to best. Seeds adherent, 2-5, notched, brown. LUCILE. Fig. 229. V. Labrusca. In vigor, health, hardi- ness, and productive- ness, Lucile is not surpassed by any native grape. Unfor- tunately, the fruit- characters are not so desirable. The size, form, and color of bunches and berries are good, making a very attractive fruit, but the grapes have an obnoxious, foxy taste and odor, and are pulpy and seedy. Lucile is earlier than Concord, the crop ripening with that of Worden or preceding it a few days. For an early variety, the fruit keeps well, and, in spite of a thin skin, ships well. The vine thrives in all grape soils. Lucile may be recommended where a hardy grape is desired, and for localities in which the season is short. J. A. Putnam, Fre- donia, New York, gre
