For localities suited to the '•Niagara." it 

 Las apparently acquired an assured position 

 as the leading white market grape and is now 

 extensiveJi/ planted, proving to be a profitable 

 market grape. Its description, as quoted

 ranks there amongst the most profitable early 

 market grapes. We have also tasted a very 

 fine while wine made from the Niagara grape 

 by the "Gast Wine Co.," of Baden, near 

 St. Louis, Mo.
