The sudden demise of Arthur Bryant, 

 senior member of the firm of Bryant & 

 Son, Princeton, 111., is reported in the 

 obituary column this week. He was 73 

 years of age and one of the most widely 

 known nurserymen in the west. 



Although the unusual cold which has 

 prevailed in Michigan thus far this 

 spring has put fruit and vegetables a 

 month behind their normal condition at 

 this time, 'reports agree that the fruit 

 crop will be far from a total failure. 



The Peterson Nursery, Chicago, makes 

 note of a peculiar fact resulting from 

 the unusual weather conditions which 

 have prevailed this season. They say 

 that since the fall planting season for 

 general nursery stock opened, October 6, 

 1906, they did not for one day cease 

 planting up to May 17, and then there 

 still remained the planting of eatalpa 

 and ash. 



IMPROVEMENT OF THE GRAPE. 



[A paper by Wm. B. Munson, Denlson. Tex., 

 read before a recent session of hl8 state hor- 

 ticultural society, continued from tbe Review of 

 May 9 and 16.] 



After the first successful crosses of 

 Lindley and Delaware, the second step 

 made was to try to get that extra earli- 

 ness and retain the other good points as 

 far as possible. The Brilliant has per- 

 fect flowers and is a splendid pollenizer 

 of other varieties blooming at the same 

 time. The Moyer was selected as the 

 next mother because it is very early, 

 of fine, clear red color, nearly equal to 

 the Delaware in quality, and has pistil- 

 late flowers; that is, flowers without hav- 

 ing erect stamens, or having potent pol- 

 len capable of self-fertilization. 



From this combination of Brilliant 

 and Moyer a lot of variable varieties 

 was obtained, but most all early and 

 red. The earliest and the best of the 

 lot was carried through the usual severe 

 trial of several years of testing. It is 

 as early as the Champion or earlier, and 

 hence the earliest known. It is very 

 juicy and sweet, the sweetest of all real 

 early varieties, and quality nearly as 

 good as that of the Delaware. The berry 

 is persistent to cluster, the skin as thin 

 and tough as that of the Delaware, hence

In this combination no varieties of the 

 native post oak blood were used because 

 this class of grapes all generally ripen 

 late and this would keep us from getting 

 the early quality we were after. But by 

 the same method of improvement we now 

 have many varieties of post oak blood 

 that are giving us grapes long-lived for 

 sandy soils of the south. By this im- 

 provement we now have the Beacon, 

 Carman, Hermann Jaeger, Fern and 

 others taking the place of Concord, Ives 

 and Martha. Not only are they more 

 hardy and better adapted varieties than 

 the old northern kinds, but also by 

 taking advantage of the late ripening 

 native kinds and using them as parents 

 with other grapes of high quality, varie- 

 ties were obtained that prolong the grape 

 season from the former three weeks to 

 one now of eight to ten weeks in such 

 varieties as the Laussel, Fern, Muench, 

 Marguerite and Albania, the best selling 

 and most profitable on account of com- 

 ing when there is no competition. 



For black, waxy lands the Lukfata, 

 Valhallah and Champanel are improved 

 varieties. In these varieties the blood 

 of Vitis Champini and Mustang have 

 been used. These species are natives of 

 limy soils- and thus furnish a basis for 

 a liitTot varieties adapted to such soils. 



Much Room Ahead. 



The instances mentioned are only im- 

 provements over what we have had, but 

 are in no wise the ideals, for the field is
