WOODRUFF WYOMING 261 straggling, poorly-formed cluster; and the shoulder, when as large as the cluster itself, which is often the case, makes the cluster unsightly. The grapes shell when fully ripe.

Lastly, the skin is thin and there is danger in unfavorable seasons of the berries cracking. These defects do not offset the several good characters of Winchell, which make it the standard early green grape. The original vine was raised by James Milton Clough, Stamford, Vermont, about 1850.

Clusters long, slender, cylindrical, often with a long shoulder, compact; pedicel short, slender, with few inconsrpicuous warts ; brush greenish-white. Berries small, round, light green, persistent, soft; skin marked with small, reddish-brown spots, thin, tender, slightly astringent ; flesh green, translucent, juicy, tender, fine- grained, sweet; very good to best. Seeds free, 1-4, email, plump, wide and long, blunt, brown. WOODRUFF. V. Labrmca.
