ANNUAL MEETING AT NEVADA. 299 



locality with the Concord, and for latter, such as Etta, white, a daughter 

 of the Elvira, resembles it, but has larger berries, not disposed to crack 

 and is superior in quality, it ripens about ten days later. I have also 

 the Highland, the largest and showiest on my place. It is the latest. I 

 had it at the horticultural meeting, September 29th, city hall, Carthage, 

 Mo., and here is what the Cartilage Press says of the Highland Septem- 

 ber 26th : " Mr. A. Kibler left with us yesterday some very fine speci- 

 mens of the Highland grape, which is just now ripening. This grape is 

 unusually large, sweet, and delicious, and is of especial value on account 

 of maturing so late in the season. I btlieve like Bush a promising 

 market grape." 



DISCUSSION ON VINEYARDS. 



Mr. Holsinger — We have had a good deal said about " Honesty be- 

 ing the best policy," but the poet says that " He who acts upon that 

 plan is not an honest man." 



Mr. Laiighlin — Will the gentleman tell us what poet said that } 



Mr. Evans — It is like the Dutchman said : " Honesty is the best 

 policy, but it keeps a man mighty poor," 



Mr. Murray — I like the papers and I most heartily indorse the 

 idea of more fertilization and more vigorous growth for fine grapes. I 

 agree with Mr. Kinder that "it is humiliating to us that our people 

 should use grapes from New York, and pay ten cents a pound for them, 

 when we might grow them at home of better quality, and in greater 

 abundance. 



Mr. King —Our home grapes sell higher in Kansas City than those 

 we get from the east. 



Mr. Menifee -\ want the best early grape and the best late. 

 What are they .'' 



Mr. Evans — Mr. Geiger recommends the Catawba. Can the peo- 

 ple grow Catawba on all kinds of land ?
