GRAPE GBOWEB'S EXPERIENCE. 



Beferring to the inquiry of J. T. W., 

 under the head of "Grapes Under 

 Glass," in The Review for August 5, 

 in regard to the possibility of growing 

 grapes under glass as a paying proposi- 

 tion, I wish to give my experience in 

 the growing and marketing of English 

 hothouse grapes in and around Chicago 

 some twenty-five years ago. 



I happened to have two houses on the 

 estate of which I had charge. One 

 house was forced for early market, the 

 crop coming in about April 15 and on 

 through May, before the California 

 grapes began to come to the market. 

 The varieties were those C. W. gives, 

 but Gros Colman was grown in the late 

 house. It is a large, handsome grape, 

 but poor in flavor. The price I used to 

 get was from $2.50 to $5 per pound 

 wholesale. A man in the grocery busi- 

 ness in Chicago took my whole season's 

 cut one year at the above prices. He 

 catered to north side residents. 



When Joseph Biggs, a caterer, on 

 North Bush street, Chicago, conducted 

 a flower store at North State street and 

 Chicago avenue, he used to pay me $5 

 per pound for select bunches, that would 

 weigh from one-half pound to three 

 pounds each. Mr. Gallagher, who at 

 one time had a flower store on Wabash 

 avenue, paid $700 for the crop of the 

 two houses one year. 



For early forcing I had Black Ham- 

 bro, Muscat of Alexandria and the 

 Bowood Muscat. I used to start the 

 early house in October, which brought 

 the grapes into market in April. 



The late house contained Alicante, 

 Mrs. Pince, Gros Colman, Madresfield 

 Court and Golden Hamburgh. This late 

 house was started in March, so that the 

 fruit would come in for market in the 

 fall, about September, and continue up 

 to Christmas. 



If I were growing hothouse grapes 

 today, I should do as C. W. suggests, 

 work up a select trade of the best 

 hotels and private residences. I think 

 there is good money to be made in 

 those lines. 



You can use the early vinery for 

 forcing early pot plants. I used to 

 start my pot roses, azaleas, bulbs, etc., 

 in it. The late house can be put to 

 service for storing dormant stock. 



Any further inquiries concerning 

 grape culture will be cheerfully an- 

 swered by me. Thomas Evans.
