Alex, Those are not the Canadian varieties, however.  The non-Canadians are
sold by several companies.

The Historical book The Grapes of New York covers Pocklington and
hundreds of now-lost or obscure varieties.

My mother's maiden name was Engle and it's possible C. Engle could have
been a great uncle of hers.

New to the list.

I am just outside of Troy, NY and I am planting grapes this spring
(Marquette, Frontenac, Brianna, St. Pepin, Steuben)
and while the winter weather has me inside far too much, i was looking
online at some of the older varieties of grapes.

One variety, Pocklington, was developed not too far north of me in
(now Hudson Falls) Sandy Hill, NY.
I was wondering if anyone knows about Pocklington's current status?
Does anyone still grow Pocklington?

Also, I found that there was a C. Engle(no relation) in Paw Paw,
Michigan who developed 10 grape varieties, mostly from the Salem,
though it seems like the majority were poor producers(I believe called
shy)
Varieties: Vesta, Metis, Michigan, Pulpless, Guinevra, Honey, Elaine,
Iris, Olita, Themis.

I presume that there were quite a few people who developed new grape
varieties that have faded into history?
