GRAPES BEST ADAPTED FOR EARLY AND LATE USE -3 



Among the new Grapes, Milton Constable, Diamond Jubilee and Lad\ 

 Hastings are making bids for supremacy'. The\' will have to stand the test 

 of time and experience. I pass no iudgment upon them, as I ha\e not had them 

 under observation. 



Some five or six years ago a \ ery uncommon condition was noted here in 

 a bunch of Grapes on a Black Hamburg vine. ShortI\- after the Grapes were 

 thinned I detected one bunch presenting an appearance quite different from 

 any of the others, and when matured the berries were as large as those of Gros 

 Colman, but with no resemblance to the variety that produced them. I raised 

 a few seedlings of this vine, and they fruited for the first time this (191 1 > season, 

 producing the exact counterpart of the bunch in question, both as to size of 

 berries and color, which is an intense black. They ripened at the same time 

 as the Black Hamburg, and the berries — larger, if anything, than Colman — 

 were of excellent quality. I hope to have a much finer lot in the coming season, 

 as the \ines are much stronger. The foliage is altogether different from that of 

 the parent \[ne.
