A most promising new red market grape. Large as Worden in bunch and berry, an excellent shipper; equal to Niagara in growth and productiveness, and perfectly healthy and hardy. Bright red in color. Sweet. The Lucile originated on the grounds of J. A. Putnam & Son, of New York, some eleven years ago. It is a purely native variety, and apparently a seed- ling of Wyoming Red, with which it has much in common—as color, quality, season, health, hardiness and appearance of leaf and wood, but the vine grows to twice the size of Wyoming Red, and yields triple the fruit in both size and quantity. The Lucile ripens early, between Moore's Early and Worden, and is of a beautiful bright red color, large and compact as Worden and nearly the same shape. Its skin is thin but tough, and it is therefore a good shipper. It never drops its berries; is sweet though not equal to the Brighton or Delaware in quality, yet better than Moore's Early. Its flesh and flavor is very much like that of Wyoming Red. The Lucile is a most vigorous grower and enor- mous bearer, equal to the Niagara in this respect, but it ripens up all its wood to the tips, under a load of fruit, where the Niagara would not ripen over one-half. It has never been known to winter kill, and is probably as hardy as any variety in Americ mildew or any other disease, except slightly by the powdery mildew at a place and season when other varieties in its vicinity were badly infested. The Lucile is exceedingly productive, and will, one season with another, yield as many tons to the acre as either the Concord, Worden, or Niagara. It has often borne four large clusters on a single shoot. We recommend it for both Amateur and Mar- ket Culture, but particularly for the latter. The Lucile is a grand good
