 needed during the winter months. Flowers of ptuenomas should no™ allowed 

 to remain on a specimen for more than six weeks ; being somewhat of an eve7

 specimen and reduce its chances of flowering the next year. Plants Dotted earlv

Best Vine for Associating with Black Hamburgh. 



Hereford : In a house that would be started about the first of February it is easy 

 to rive Black Hamburgh a good companion. If a white grape is wanted I would, 

 writes Mr. S. Castle, advise Buckland Sweetwater, a very handsome sweet grape 

 which generally does well. A second white would be Fosters' Seedling— of 

 stronger constitution than the first-named, and a sure heavy cropper, but the

July or very early in August, and would be a nice companion to Black Hamburgh 

 and a very agreeable change at the dessert table. Grown under the same 

 conditions the Alicante crop will always be the heavier and with also a better 

 keeping quality. A more extended list of varieties could be given and some are of 

 a very high character, but high cultural skill is required to grow them in their best 

 form. With regard to those grapes that succeed best with Black Hamburgh in a 

 late vinery, I presume that by having Black Hamburghs in a late house, the real 

 need is a supply from vines up to Christmas. Undoubtedly the best white would 

 1 e Mrs. Pearson, a most useful grape which improves by hanging, I find the 

 vines very robust and hardy ; it is free setting and in fact a go od amateurs' vine, 

 given fire heat. Alicante, again, should also find a home here, as there is none to 

 equal it for late keeping, and it will succeed where the higher quality varieties 

 would fail. Could Gros Colmar be put in the warmest end and lightly cropped 

 the first ten years it will, with careful management, hold its own against all the 

 others.
