56 FRUITS AND FLOWERS. 



fruit, the president requested this committee to examine the 

 vineyard entered by Dr. T. Palmer, and if, in our judgment, 

 it should be found worthy of gratuity, to report accordingly. 

 On the 14th of August, a majority of the committee exam- 

 ined said vineyard, and have seen it again to-day. It covers 

 nearly an acre of ground ; was planted with the Concord 

 grape vine in 1863 and 1864; about one third of it in the 

 former year. It consists of six hundred and sixty odd vines, 

 in rows eight feet apart, the roots six feet apart in the rows, 

 trained to wires attached to posts twelve feet apart. The 

 vines set out in 1863, are now in good bearing, a large 

 specimen of the fruit being upon our tables to-day. To Dr. 

 T. Palmer is recommended a gratuity equal to the second 

 premium for vineyards offered in 1863, and awarded in 1864, 

 viz., ten dollars, thinking it worthy of something more, had 

 a premium been offered.
