Remarks

[#144] [“Sept. 16. . . To Fair Haven Pond. . . Discovered an excellent lively wild red grape.Why not propagate from it and call it the Musketaquid?” Journal 4: 353. 1852.” “September 16, 1852. I discovered a particularly sweet red grape with a soft pulp by the river in front of the Cliffs, the best wild grape that I ever tasted. I laid some down there the next day and the next fall transplanted them to my garden – where they have done well and are very early. I call it the Musketaquid grape.” sub Wild grape (Vitis labrusca) in Wild Fruits p. 154]
