TEN DOLLAR PRIZE POST-OAK GRAPE
FAML Y.
In 1883 the writer offered $10 for the best wild Post-Oak grape, to be
shown ripe, at the annual exhibition of the North 'Texas Horticultural
Society, in Denison, Texas, on condition that the vine from which the
Irp. premium grapes came should become his property. A remarkable display
was brought out,-some twenty varieties from various parts of Grayson
county. The one shown by Mr. Hopkins, a gardener and fruit grower,
now deceased, won the prize by decision of the committee of five good
ids grape judges, according to a scale of ten points covering each quality of
value in a vine. Many hybrids of it were produced. A few of the better
of these are given, following:
