Luglienga. Joannenc. At Geneva, New York, Lignan Blanc ripens first of all grapes, native or European. The fruit is not of high- est quality, but is better than that of any other early grape. The variety makes a val- uable addition to the home vineyard, and should be one of the first Vinifera grapes to be considered for planting in the East. It is a favorite grape in Europe, and is rather commonly grown in California. This variety offers excellent material for hybridization with native grapes. It is an old European sort. Vine vigorous, medium productive; buds open early; opening leaves light green, glossy, tinged with red along the edges, thinly pubescent. Leaves medium in size, roundish, somewhat dull green, slightly rugose; blade thick; lobes usually 5 though sometimes 3 ; petiolar sinus medium in depth, wide; lower lateral sinus medium in depth, narrow; upper lateral sinus shallow, narrow; margin dentate; teeth long, narrow. Flowers appear early for a Vinifera ; stamens upright. Fruit ripens the first of September and is a good keeper ;
