Dear Sir — In reply to yours of the 8th inst., I will say that in i:;y opinion, 
"Moore’s Diamond ’’ is the finest white grape, all points considered, that has yet been 
produced in this country — far superior to Niagara and Pocklington, which are coarse 
in comparison with it. It ripened with me about with the Delaware. 
Yours very truly, C. \V. SRELYE. 
[From J. T. Lovett, Esq., New Jersey.'] 
Dear Sir : — I am much pleased with “Moore’s Diamond.’’ It is well named, 
for it is, I think, a gem of the first water. The berry is of good size and shape, and 
the color — greenish amber — renders it very attractive. Clusters of good size and 
form, mostly shouldered and just right as to compactness ; quality rich, sprightly, 
sweet, excellent, with soft, tender pulp. The samples came in good condition, and I 
judge it a good shipping and keeping grape. I had a hard day’s work yesterday, 
judging fruits at our State Fair at Waverly ; the display of grapes was unusually 
large and fine, yet among them all I found none that united in so eminent a degree, 
beauty and fine quality, as "Moore’s Diamond.’’ If, as you say, it is so early and 
productive, you have, I think, a grape of untold value. 
Yours truly, J. T. EOVEIT.

Dear Sir : — Yours of the l6th at hand, as also the basket of grapes, for which 
you have my sincere thanks. It gives me great pleasure to say that I regard the 
" Moore’s Diamond ’’ as very excellent in quality, and .superior to anything in the 
shape of white grapes that I have ever seen, that ripens so early. It seems to me, 
when introduced and well known, it must be received with great favor by all who 
can appreciate fine fruit. Yours very truly, S. D. WILLARD. 
[From A. S. Fuller, Esq., New Jersey.] 
Th " ''OX of " Moore’s Diamond ’’ grapes received in good order. It is of excellent 
qi j, pulp tender, bunches large, berry medium. It is far superior in quality to the 
Niagara or Martha. 
[From E. Kelly, Esq., Ontario, Canada.] 
Dear Sir : — In reply to your inquiry as to my opinion regarding the “Moore’s 
Diamond ’’ grape, would say : After an impartial test of the past two seasons, I have 
no hesitation in pronouncing it the best while grape now before the public, and one 
that should be in every collection. In point of fiavor, it has no equal among the 
native white grapes, and is equal to some of the foreign varieties, resembling Chas- 
selas. As hardy as the Martha, and at least three weeks earlier than that variety. It 
is a strong grower and prolific bearer
