Creveling was long a favorite black grape for the garden, where, if planted in good soil, it produces fine clusters of large, handsome, very good grapes. Under any but the best of care, however, the vine is unproductive and sets loose, straggling bunches. The flowers are markedly self-sterile. The origin of Creveling is uncertain. It was introduced about 1857 by F. F. Merceron, Catawissa, Pennsylvania. Vine vigorous, not hardy, often unproductive. Canes long, numerous, thick, reddish-brown ; nodes enlarged, flattened; internodes long; shoots glabrous; tendrils continuous, long, trifid or bifid. Leaves large, thick; lobes 3, or obscurely 5, terminal one acute; petiolar sinus shallow, narrow ; teeth shallow. Flowers on plan of 6, self-sterile, open in ; stamens reflexed. Fruit early, does not keep well. Clusters long, broad, irregularly tapering, single-shouldered, the shoulder often connected to the cluster by a long stem, loose; brush thick, dark wine-color. Berries large, oval, dull black, covered with heavy bloom, persistent, firm ; skin thick, tough, adherent with wine-colored pigment, astringent; flesh pale green, translucent, juicy, stringy, tender, coarse, foxy; good. Seeds free, 1-5, broad, notched, blunt, light brown. CROTON. V. cestivalis Bourquiniana X V. vinijera. The fruit of Croton is a feast both to the e3'e and to the palate. Unfor
