 With a little perseverance, these grapes should be 

 a success, but wc want a steady supply for the 

 few weeks the season lasts." 



Whether our grapes will ever become 

 popular enough in England to make it pro- 

 fitable to export them seems a question. 

 At first the dealers would not buy them at 

 all, and our consignees had to persuade the 

 costers to take them out on the streets for 

 sale, but bye-and-bye they commanded a 

 small price, which is slowly creeping up- 

 wards. But, even yet, the price is not 

 equal to the value of these grapes in Ottawa 

 or Montreal. Here is a report of the sale 

 of 3,360 four pound baskets of Red and 

 Black Rogers carried over in a ventilated 

 compartment and sold in Manchester the 

 23rd of October :
