taken into account that it had been grown in a section of the State where 

 the seasons are much later than at Rochester, and not snited to brin!.!;irig 

 out the quality of a grape on the 15tli of Se[)tember. At the third and last 

 trial a propagator was found who condescended to adojjt the foundling, 

 wlien, behold, in its new home it was much better in quality than before, 

 and ripened quite early withal. 



I saw the Pocklington rei^eatedly, growing at Rochester. It was eatable 

 Sept. 1st; Avas in its glory Sej)t. 15th ; was still good Oct. 1st, when it had 

 assumed a rich amber hue. While not the best, in any one's opinion, it is 

 a grape the offering of which will give no offense to tlie most critijal 

 autliority in the country. It is hg-rdy, healthy, vigorous and productive — 

 a grape that will succeed with the Concord, I should judge from what I 

 have seen, yet time may bring out some weak point that lias not thus far 

 been made manifest.

[Guess you don't know, friend Green, all about the modesty (?) of that 

 "extremely modest" man. When a man wants thousands of dollars for a 

 little stock of a new seedling grape, in these times of a multiplicity of new 

 sorts and the rapid way of multiplying them, and the easy conscience of 

 some growers to advertise such new kinds and put in something else for 

 them, we don't wonder that "among all the shrewd, observing and enter- 

 prising nurserymen" not one could be found to take hold of it. It is 

 undoubtedly a splf-ndid grape, but the man who paid that " extremely 

 modest" man the price he asked us, will never get his money out of it, and 

 "we jnty him — that's all.] — Furdy's Fruit Recorder.

The raspberry busli received this year from the Asiociation lias 

 made a good growth. Last year I received a one -year old tree and 

 scion of the Ontario apple by mail. The tree is growing fine; the 

 scion I grafted on a natnral tree, which is also growing. The rasp- 

 berry received the year previous is too tender for this climate. Last 

 winter was a very mild one, but every one winter killed. I did not 

 give them any winter protection. My Burnet Grape vine bore fruit 

 this year ; the fruit I consider the very best ; I was afraid they would 

 not ripen, but they ripened a month before the frost came. All fruits 

 ripened this year earlier than usual, on account of the long drouth in 

 the latter part of the season. I have two varieties of common wine 

 grape, (Chippawa and Caroline,) that ripen every year in August ; this 

 year they were ripe on the 10th August, and on the 20th they were
