vantage  that  T  can  see  except  that  it  is 
decidedly  green  in  color ;  it  has  a  sug¬ 
gestion  of  rose  tint  on  the  sunny  side, 
but  not  beautifully  colored  ns  is  the 
Naomi  for  instance. 
As  a  home  variety  I  consider  the 
grape  immense,  and  perhaps  for  nearby 
market.  It  is  not  as  fine  or  as  hand¬ 
some  a  grape  as  his  Triumph,  but.  its 
flavor  is  different  and  more  rich  and  per¬ 
fumed;  Campbell's  Peerless,  which  he 
sent  me  the  year  before  his  death  as  be¬ 
ing  better  than  the  Duchess,  is  far  in¬ 
ferior  to  ties  new  variety.  The  Peerless 
and  Copley's  Daphne  are  finite  similar — 
both  iu  appearance  like  the  Croton,  but 
not  ns  good.  This  new  grape,  because 
of  its  productivity  and  better  flavor, 
should  be  given  a  warm  welcome  by  the 
public.  Air.  Campbell  is  (leaking  of 
placing  it  in  the  hands  of  some  nursery¬ 
men  for  introduction. 
These  three  grapes  of  Campbell’s  I 
have  mentioned  are  all  far  superior  to 
(lie  Campbell's  Early  which  l  think  has 
been  praised  unieli  too  highly.  I  have 
three  of  Cample  il's  black  grapes  of  ex¬ 
cellent  quality  which  lie  sent  me  with  his 
Peerless,  but  they  are  scarcely  larger 
than  Delaware  in  hunch  ami  berry.  One 
he  numbers  ‘"S'  lias  beautiful  foliage 
and  I  have  used  it  for  an  ornamental 
vine.  These  three  varieties  suggest 
Pickett’s  Peabody,  but  are  not  as  good. 
I  have  10  young  ones  of  Ibis  new  va¬ 
riety  growing,  and  one  of  its  valuabl 
qualities  is  that  it  will  give  a  good  mar¬ 
ketable  vine  in  one  season  from  a  cat¬ 
ling.  It  roots  as  easily  as  a  foreign  va¬ 
riety.  The  Josselyn  St.  Albans  was  one 
parent,  and  I  presume  a  Concord  X 
Muscat  Hamburgh  was  the  other — mak¬ 
ing  it  three-quarters  foreign.

Nuts  for  Michigan 
Would  you  give  the  names  of  the  hardy 
English  walnuts,  pecans,  filberts,  chest¬ 
nuts  and  hickoryimts  that  would  be  most 
likely  to  succeed  in  southwestern  Mich¬ 
igan  V  a.  R.  tr. 
Bueliaruin,  Mich. 
There  are  a  number  of  seedling  wal¬ 
nut  trees  in  Southern  Michigan.  The 
nuts  from  them  that  I  have  seen  were 
small  and  insignificant.  T  do  not  know 
of  any  named  varieties  of  any  nut  tree 
growing  in  the  State,  hut  very  likely 
there  may  he  some.  If  I  were  going  to 
try  English  walnuts  there  in  an  experi¬ 
mental  way,  which  is  the  only  way  they 
should  be  tried.  I  should  try  out  as  many 
of  the  few  varieties  recommended  by 
the  thoroughly  dependable  nut  nursery¬ 
men  as  I  could  afford,  with  preference 
for  the  old  varieties  tried  out  in  France 
and  California,  the  Franquetti'  and  May¬ 
otte.  The  walnut  does  well  in  Ontario 
and  the  lake  region  of  New  York. 
Pecans  for  Michigan  are  even  more  un¬ 
known.  I  never  heard  of  a  bearing  tree 
in  Michigan,  the  New  England  States 
of  New  York,  except  on  Long  Island. 
Yet  they  are  native  and  bear  line  nuts 
in  Ohio,  Indiana,  Illinois,  and  as  far 
north  iu  Iowa  as  its  middle,  which  is 
the  same  latitude  as  Southern  Michigan, 
and  much  less  favorably  situated  than 
the  latter,  which  lias  Hie  protection  of  (lie 
Great  Lakes.  The  pecan  tree  is  hardy 
at  P.attle  Creek  and  in  Ontario,  There¬ 
fore  we  have  good  reason  to  believe  that 
the  pecan  will  bear  in  Michigan.  Any 
of  tin*  “Indiana”  varieties  offered  by  the 
special  nut  nurserymen  of  dependability 
may  be  tried. 
The  varieties  of  the  English,  or  other 
imported  filbert  offered  by  many  nursery¬ 
men  should  be  quite  hardy.  There  are 
no  native  hazels  as  yet  of  named  va¬ 
rieties  on  the  market.  In  growing  the 
imported  filbert,  where  the  American  ha¬ 
zel  is  native  it  will  he  necessary  to  be 
on  the  lookout  for  a  blight,  shown  by  a 
depressed  area  in  the  bark  and  small 
black  pustules  on  the  larger  stems. 
These  should  be  cut  out  once  or  twice 
a  year,  or  they  will  girdle  and  kill  the 
trees. 
As  the  chestnut  is  not  native  in  South¬ 
western  Michigan  plantings  of  the  trees 
would  not  be  likely  to  be  attacked  by  the 
blight  unless  imported  on  nursery  stock, 
and  the  opportunities  for  growing  this 
11  ut  in  that  region  wdrli  profit  would  seem 
to  be  good.  It  would  be  preferable  to 
get  trees  from  nurseries  outside  the 
blight  area.  The  Poelmster,  Boone  and 
Paragon  varieties  are  recommended. 
There  arc  no  very  desirable  varieties 
of  the  shagbnrk  hickorynut  on  the  mar¬ 
ket.  The  Northern  Nut  Growers’  Asso¬ 
ciation,  however,  is  gradually  locating 
some  of  our  good  native  varieties  and  in 
a  year  or  two  they  will  he  put  on  the 
market. 
Grafted  or  budded  trees  of  the  Eng¬ 
lish  walnut,  pecan  and  chestnut,  at  least 
some  of  their  varieties,  will  hear  at-  least 
as  early  as  the  average  apple  tree.  Un- 
der  good  conditions  they  grow  with  great 
rapidity  and  hear  profitably  as  soon  as 
oilier  fruit  trees.  Filberts  bear  young, 
of  course,  but  we  don't,  know  much  about 
the  hickory.  v.\r.  c.  dkmi.vo.

find  all  lovers  of  the  Arine.  The  vine 
grows  on  the  back  of  his  house,  and  is 
thrifty,  with  large  Goncord-like  leaves, 
but  the  fruit  shows  no  trace  of  any  of 
the  native  objectionable  flavor.  The  fruit 
is  too  soft,  however,  in  my  opinion  for 
it  ever  to  be  a  market  variety.  There  is 
no  pulp  and  the  flesh  is  somewhat  gela¬ 
tinous,  like  the  dhnrlton.  The  skin 
is  very  thin,  and  lias  the  appearance  of 
delicacy.  But  the  flavor  is  the  thing  of
