Wondered if anyone (Jerry Lehman?) might be able to shed some light on my dilemma – anybody got photos of ‘known’ specimens of these two varieties?



Hi Lucky,

I know you found the answer to your question.  Thought I'd send pictures of Geneva Long taken last year anyway for the possible benefit to other readers. Lee Brumley and John Raymond helped with photography and may have been their work. NC-10 isn't in my collection so have no pictures of it.



It is so easy to mix up accessions when taking multiple varieties of the same species to the field. I've done it more than once. Another problem is forgetting to label the graft or record it in the filed records. Then go back an hour later and try to remember which variety was grafted. Switching material is such a problem that the USDA Grape Repository at Davis, CA that sells varietal material instituted a rule a few years back.  Only one variety on the working tables at a time. They too had a problem of switching cultivars.

Jerry
