propagate these which furnish all the requisites for market, 

 table and wine, and should satisfy the most exacting taste. 



THE SCUPrERNONG. 



Of the eight varieties of the Botundifolia or Muscadine 

 type, planted in 1886, (see Bulletin No. 29, page 18,) all 

 are giving perfect satisfaction, and we call attention vo some 

 of the different varieties of this most excellent grape. By 

 planting the ordinary Scuppernong, the Memory, the Mish, 

 and Jb lowers, one can have a constant supply of this fruit 

 until frost. The Memory and Mish are especially desirable, 

 combining superior quality with vigorous growth and great 

 productiveness. The Flowers has not the fine quality of the 

 Memory and Mish, but being the latest to ripen is very val- 

 uable, and is unsurpassed by any grape for wine making. 

 The James has been highly recommended by some who 

 claim that it will bear fruit longer than any other variety, but 

 our experiment has not verified this claim. While we have 

 nothing but praise for it as a grape, the season is no longer 

 than that of the scuppernong, and by the average taste 

 would be classed as a "very good Muscadine." 



APPLES. 



Of the 45 varieties planted in the Spring of 1886, only 

 the following 17 have given satisfaction, and are considered 

 worthy of being recommended for general planting. A brief 

 description of these varieties may not be out of place.
