Lindley (Rog. No. 9), is one of the most profitable of all grapes that I have 

 grown and one of the finest in appearance and flavor. 



Massassoit (Rog. No. 3), the earliest of Rogers' grapes, good quality ; does 

 not fertilize well, is improved by planting alternately in the row with a good 

 blooming variety. 



Moore's Early^ a good early grape, but not quite productive enough. 



Niagara is far the most profitable white grape. 



Moore's Dia7tiond is a promising grape, good quality, fine appearance, and 

 early. 



Mover is profitable, principally on account of its extreme earliness. 



I^equa {Kog. No. 28), a large compact bunch, good flavor ; productive ; 

 resembles the Salem in appearance. 



Wilder (Rog. No. 4) is one of the best black grapes for market, and holds 

 its flavor with long keeping better than any other grape. 



Worden, very much like the Concord, of which it is a seedling, but sweeter 



and better in flavor, and a few days earlier, which makes it one of the most 



profitable.

A New Grape — Sir, — I should be glad to hear through the columns of 

 the Journal, from Mr. Broderick, St. Catharines, the originator, as to the success 

 of his new grape, Augusta, exhibited by Ontario at the World's Fair, I have had 

 numerous inquiries in reference to it, from the United States as well as Canada. 

 I only received three bunches. They were compact and fine, but all were 

 required to fill the jar, so that I had no opportunity to test their quality. How 

 did they succeed in 1893 ? Are the vines hardy and productive, and what 

 is their season of ripening ?

The Acker. — A remarkable contrast to the Salome is the Acker, a Wisconsin 

 seedling of Oldenburg. Planted the same date, April, 1884, the trees have made 

 the strongest growth among eighty varieties; they began bearing in 1890, and have 

 borne annually since, a crop of large, handsome apples, which keep until mid- 

 winter, although, like the parent tree, they drop badly in October. — C. E.

Cole's Prolific Raspberry.— In reply to a query from Prof. Crozier, of 

 Michigan, regarding Cole's Prolific raspberry, which was shown in the Ontario 

 fruit exhibit at Chicago, we may state that this variety was a chance seedling 

 growing wild and found by Mr. Cole, of Port Dalhouise. This gentleman has 

 since cultivated and propagated the variety because of its peculiar habit of 

 production of fruit along the cane from top to bottom. It may be worthy of 

 esting.
