Vine vigorous, injured in severe winters, productive. Foliage irregularly roundish, dark green. Flowers open in mid-season or earlier; stamens reflexed. It cannot be relied upon to set perfect clusters when standing alone and even when growing in a mixed vineyard fails to set fruit well. Fruit ripens about with Salem, keeps a long time in edible condition. Clusters above medium to small, very heavily shouldered, loose, contain many small seedless fruits. Berries variable in size, the fully developed fruits averaging medium to large, roundish, dull, light and dark red, covered with thin lilac bloom or at times with faint tinge of grayish-blue, persistent. Skin covered with scattering dark-colored dots, rather thick but tender. Flesh tender, vinous, with indications of Vinifera parentage, sweetish to agreeably tart, flavor pleasing, good to very good in quality. Seeds large, few in number; raphe sometimes shows as a raised cord. (I) ALICE. (Labrusca.) =1.= _Bush. Cat._, =1894=:84. Alice is one of two New York seedlings of this name offered grape-growers, neither of which is worth a permanent place in viticulture. This grape is a white seedling of Martha, and much resembles that variety. It was originated by J. A. Putnam, Fredonia, New York, who writes that the vine was first fruited in 1890. On account of its close resemblance to Martha it was generally considered unworthy of perpetuation and is now practically obsolete. (II) ALICE. (Labrusca, Aestivalis?, Vinifera?) =1.= _Rural N. Y._, =46=:36. 1887. _fig._ =2.= _Ib._, =47=:161. 1888. =3.= _Amer. Gard._, =9=:7. 1888. _fig._ =4.= _N. Y. Sta. An. Rpt._, =11=:613. 1892. =5.= _Amer. Gard._, =16=:423. 1895. _fig._ =6.= _Mass. Hort. Soc. Rpt._, =1895=:233. =7.= _N. Y. Sta. An. Rpt._, =14=:275. 1895. =8.= _Minn. Hort. Soc. Rpt._, =1896=:134. _fig._ =9.= _Rural N. Y._, =56=:662, 679. 1897. =10.= _N. Y. Sta. An. Rpt._, =17=:526, 548, 553. 1898. A brief record of the origin, history and gross characters of Alice is herewith given. The grape is of little value in New York. This variety was found growing near an old stone wall by Ward D. Gunn of Clintondale, Ulster County, New York, and was transplanted into his vineyard in the spring of 1884. It was introduced by F. E. Young of Rochester. This is a Labrusca, with a few characters that indicate Aestivalis and Vinifera blood.
