| Remarks | [#155] ["About the 10th of November, I first noticed long branches of very small dark-purple or black grapes fallen on the dry leaves in the ravine east of Spring's house. Quite a large mass of clusters remained hanging on the leafless vine, thirty feet overhead there, till I left, on the 24th November. These grapes were much shrivelled, but they had a very agreeable spicey acid taste, evidently not aquired till after the frosts. I thought them quite a discovery and ate many from day to day, swallowing the skings and stones, and recommended them to Spring. He said that they were very much like a certain French grape, which he had eaten in France. It is a true frost grape, but apparently answers to Vitis aestivalis (?). Vide fruit and leaves. One I opened has only two seeds, while one of the early ones at Brattleboro has four, but one of the late ones at Brattleboro has only two, which also I have called V. aestivalis." Journal 9: 137-138. 1856] |
