Mr. Irvine. — What is the best late red, late black and late white 

 grape ? 



L. A. Goodman. — Goethe is the best late red grape. 



Maj. Holsinger. — My Goethe were killed to the ground. Wyom- 

 ing Red came off with flying colors. It is one of the best reds. The 

 Goethe is rather a white grape, even if it were hardy. The Concord came 

 through all right. 



E. J. Baxter. — Wyoming is very inferior in quality, neither 

 is it late. Vergennes is a good late red grape. Worden is not as 

 hardy as the Goethe. I would say Vergennes for red and Concord 

 for black. 



Mr. Callaway, of Illinois. — The Hosford is the largest black grape 

 I have. It ripens with the Concord and is of similar flavor. It passed 

 the winter safely. 



J. T. Snodgrass. — I have the Hosford from Kellogg of Michigan. 

 It wintered very well. I do not like it. It is irregular in ripening, 

 not of good flavor, a little later than the Concord. Tor a black grape 

 give me the Concord. 



Mr. Wilcox. — What of the Colerain? 



Mr. Murray. — It is good, hardy, small, not a commercial grape; 

 good for the family. 



Mr. Baxter. — Moore's Diamond is hardy, prolific, of good qual- 

 ity and does well. There is no great demand for white grapes in the 

 market. I like ISTiagara better than anything else in the white grape 

 line. 



Mr. Butterfield. — I would like to speak a good word for our fruit 

 papers, the Western Fruit Grower and the South West. They are 

 valuable to all horticulturists, especially new ones. 



Mr. Murray. — We want to build up our western horticultural lit- 

 erature. Many of the eastern papers are all right at home, but very 

 often misleading here. 



SPRAY PUMPS. 



Prof. Whitten showed a Gould's barrel spray pump which the 

 manufacturer had sent prepaid to the meeting for the purpose. He 

 said it was a good pump, but not the only good pump.
