Somers, Vermillion, said there were 250 acres 
of vineyard in his township. The Catawba rot¬ 
ted some. The Delaware had done remarkably 
well. On the gravelly clay lidges, three miles 
from the lake, the Catawbas rotted worse than 
on the shore, where the soil is black loam. In 
one vineyard where the rot was bad two years 
ago not a rotten grape could be found now. 
Phillips, Berlin, stated that the Catawbas had 
rotted a good deal, aud the Isabellas but little. 
Concords were diseased a little in the leaf, but 
notin the fruit. Delaware somewhat mildewed. 
Had 25 Iona vines in beariug; noticed some rot, 
but not like the Catawba kind; the wood and 
foliage were strong and the fruit began to color 
by tlie 15th of August. Israella’s color with the 
Hartford Prolifies. 
Dr. Griswold, Elyria, had found great differ¬ 
ence in the amount of rot in the vineyards; in 
some only one per cent., in others ten. The 
disease began in a deep loamy soil and extended 
to hard clay, but was not so bad in the latter as 
in the former. 
Mottier, Dover Bay, said there was no sign 
of rot in his vineyard. Cultivated several varie¬ 
ties. The Clinton mildewed on the leaf. 
Spaulding, Cuyahoga Co., had rot among his 
Catawbas, but none on Concords and Delawares. 
The leaf of the Iona mildewed some. No dis¬ 
ease on Crevclinge or Hartford Prolifies. 
Sec. Batetiam spoke of the viueyards from 
Cluvclaud eastward along the Lake Shore. He 
was convinced that pruning' and culture had no 
lufiucnce on the rot, but thought it due to at¬ 
mospheric changes. There is more disease on 
sand than on clay soils. Proximity to water 
made little difference. He did uot beliove that 
the rot was owing to any weakness of the viue. 
Grape growers were too much disheartened; the 
best varieties were yet doing well. Tie thought 
the Catawba had been really a detriment to the 
grape interests of the Lake Shore, and that it 
might prove, ultimately an advantage to the 
growers if they are obliged to drop it from cul¬ 
tivation. 
THE EXCURSION. 
After the brief evening discussions were end¬ 
ed, in company with a friend, we availed our¬ 
selves of the gonerous hospitality of John Dodge, 
Esq., of Harbor Creek, seven miles west of 
North East. The following morning we had time 
to look over some portions of his magnificent 
farm before the train which bore the excursionists 
for the Islands arrived at the station. We noted 
a patch of Wilson strawberries, two acres la ex¬ 
tent, which this season—the tlrst of bearing- 
yielded 200 bushels per acre, the fruit selling lor 
four dollars per bushel. The land was particu¬ 
larly well adapted to strawberries, being so situ¬ 
ated that previous to the building of a railroad 
vnitmuMiictik ii, nail mu-uj yearly covered with 
water, and a deposit of leaves and sand left on it. 
The soil is gravelly loam. A field of corn that 
had been subsoiled to the depth of eighteen or 
twenty inches by an attachment to a common 
plow.Avas very fine, having eared well and with¬ 
stood the drouth much hotter than other corn¬ 
fields In the neighborhood Unit wore only ordi¬ 
narily plowed. It was very apparent In this case 
that subsoiling was a profitable operation. We 
also noticed a tine row of locust trees along 
the road-side, to which a picket fence was at¬ 
tached, the trees serving as posts. Two large 
bolts, or wood screws, were inserted in each tree, 
the rails of the fence hung on these in such man¬ 
ner that the action of the wind would uot strain 
tlie fastenings. 
The excursionists reached Put-in-Bay Island 
by the way of Cleveland and Sandusky, late at 
night. Oa the steamer the party tested a va¬ 
riety of still and sparkling wines. Of the latter 
those contributed for the occasion by Mr. C. I). 
Champlin, Sec’y of the Pleasant Valley N. Y. 
Wine Company, were the best met with any¬ 
where on the occasion. The excursionists were 
well taken care of by Messrs. West & Elder, 
the. gentlemanly proprietors of the popular Put¬ 
in-Bay House. The following morning several 
residents of the Island were on hand with con¬ 
veyances, aud the company was divided Into 
parties for the trip. Our own drove first to the 
vineyard of Mr. tf aumes. There the Hartford 
Prolille8 were already well colored; the Dela- 
wafeB were beginning to turn, hut the vines 
were badly defoliated and infested with thrips 
that rose in swarms when the leaves were dis¬ 
turbed. The Catawbas were rotting. The cul¬ 
tivation of this vineyard was excellent,—but iu 
consequence of the rot, the thrips, and the fall¬ 
ing of the leaves, the vineyaid presented an 
unfavorable appearance, at least to the eyes of 
the New York vine growers. Mr. Hakmes has 
the reputation of being One of the best wine 
makers on the Island, and the quality of the 
tion, and is In the receipt of a letter from the 
Secretary, dated August 12th, which says “the 
report was submitted to the Committee on Hor¬ 
ticulture, Pomology, and the culture and pro¬ 
ducts of the Vine, consisting of Messrs. Wilder 
of Mass., FLAno of Ohio, and Barrt of New 
York. They made their Report to our Commis¬ 
sion and included with it the entire article fur¬ 
nished by yourself, and which Report will be 
forwarded with others to the State Department 
at Washington.” 
IMPLEMENTS EXHIBITED. 
There were some implements exhibited which 
possessed considerable interest. Dr. Grant 
had a set of plows which he has adapted to the 
preparation and culture of the vineyard. They 
were not subjected to trial, but the larger ones 
are designed to do the work of trenching, com¬ 
pletely inverting the top soil and bringing the 
subsoil to the surface from a depth of twenty or 
more inches. Some skillful cultivators are in¬ 
clined to think deep planting is best for the 
health of the vine, and forsuch work these plows 
will he of great value. A metal pail was also 
shown, designed for picking grapes, the novelty 
of which consisted In its being hinged so as to 
open in the middle and lot the fruit fall down¬ 
wards, when it was desirable to empty it. This 
it was thought would save handling. The Keuka 
Grape Picker was exhibited by F. M. McDow¬ 
ell, Steuben Co., N. Y. It can be used with 
one hand, aud cuts the stem and holds it until 
deposited in the basket, and seems a very desira¬ 
ble implement for picking grapes, saving much 
labor aud the bloom of the fruit. 
DISCUSSIONS. 
The company, to the number of three hundred 
or more, partook of a bountiful lunch at the 
wine house among the vineyards—testing the 
excellent wines, which were dispensed freely by 
Mr. Mottier anil his assistants, after which 
some informal taLk was had, until the mid-day 
heat was past, when the party dispersed through 
the viueyards aud groumis, and at night-fall 
sought the village, a mile distant, by various 
routes. In the evening a hall was lighted up 
and an hour or two passed pleasantly in heariug 
reports from various persons on the condition of 
the grape crop in their localities. We give their 
reports briefly: 
Mr. Saunders, Superintendent of the Experi¬ 
mental Grounds at Washington, said the one 
hundred and twenty varieties in cultivation on 
those grounds bad mildewed. The Delaware 
ripened well, and the Iona gave great promise. 
The mildew appeared first, on the foliage. There 
is a species of mildew caused by aridity, which 
attacks the yonng fruit, and is the worst enemy 
to the growth of foreign varieties. The rot 
made its appearance iu wet seasons only at 
Washington. Mr. 8 . cuusuiciea me mildew 
wholly the result of atmospheric changes, and 
that sulphur is its antidote. In reference to the 
hardiness of a grape he remurked the cause 
must be looked for in the summer; it is because 
tlie wood is unripe that vines winter kill. Mr. 
8. expressed the opinion that there were uo 
lie referred to Rogers’ and Allen’s 
thousand dollars per acre for the forty acres, 
which he refused. His last sale was that of a 
five-acre lot for live thousand dollars. For grape 
growing purposes merely it is better for one to 
locate on tlie shore,—for the soil and climate arc 
equally favorable and land can be bought for one 
hundred dollars par acre. Notwithstanding the 
rot, thrips, and mildew, it is probable that a fair 
crop of grapes of good quality will be gathered 
on the Islands and Luke Shore. Vineyardlsta 
can no more reasonably expect exemption from 
disease and partial failure, for their products 
than can the growers of other standard crops. 
The business is iu good hands aud is destined to 
increase and win abundant success. 
Some of the excursionists extended their ram¬ 
bles to other parts of the grape growing dis¬ 
trict,; we were satisfied with baying seeu a fair 
portion of it, and business demanded a direct 
return home.

We joined the meetiug of the Lake Shore 
Grape Growers’ Association, at North East, Pa., 
on Tnesday, the 27th of August. The main ob¬ 
ject of tbe meeting, at this time of year, was to 
afford opportunity to those interested in grape 
culture to examine the vineyards, compare state¬ 
ments of the various conditions of the vine in 
different parts of the country, and by observation 
and criticism of the culture, pruning, soil, &c., 
endeavor to make some progress towards a riper 
knowledge of the work. Many distinguished 
horticulturists from other States were there. 
William Saitnders, Esq., of the Department 
of Agriculture was present, and Mr. Knox, “ the 
Strawberry King,” from Pittsburg. New York 
was represented by Dr. Grant from the Hudson, 
Messrs. Champlin and McDowell from Crooked 
Lake, F. C. Brehm from Waterloo, Bronson 
from Genova, T. G. Yeomans from Wayne Co., 
and Messrs. Hoag, Moodt, Craine, Babcock 
and Ringceberg from Lockport. 
THE YINETABDS AT NORTH EAST. 
The vineyards and premises of the South 
Shore Wine Company, and those of Messrs. 
Griffith & Bro. were the chief objects of in¬ 
terest. They arc situated within a mile of the 
lake shore, on laud sufficiently rolling to afford 
natural drainage. The soil is a gravelly loam, 
(drift,) with a porous subsoil. Twenty-two 
years ago Mr. William Griffith began grape 
culture here by planting six vines. From that 
commencement his vineyard grew until it cov¬ 
ered one hundred acres and one hundred thou¬ 
sand vines, largely Catawbas and Isabellas. Mr. 
G. built the cellars, reared the vineyards, and 
organized the, business before the present 
wine company, of which tbe venerable John 
E. Mottier is Superintendent, was called into 
existence and given possession. 
Since the organization of tlie wine company 
twenty-five acres of grapes have been planted, 
which are devoted equally to the Iona, Concord, 
and Ives’ Seedling. When in full bearing the 
yield of the vineyards it is estimated will amount 
to three hundred tons, and the wine cellars af¬ 
ford facilities to handle this quantity. They 
have now twenty-five or thirty thousand gallons 
of wine on hand. Besides the vineyards belong¬ 
ing to the company Messrs. Griffith & Bro. 
have, fifty acres, twenty of which arc planted 
with Iona, three with Israclla, and the balance 
with Isabella, Diana, Delaware, Concord and 
Ives’ Seedling. 
The cultivation of all these vineyards was ex¬ 
cellent; the ground was not only entirely free 
from wood*, but the soil was well stirred up amt 
mellow. But little drainage is required, and 
there Ib nothing to hinder perfect cultivation. 
The crop on tlie vines was very’light, probably 
not over one-third of a good one, which result 
was attributed by many to previous overcrop¬ 
ping, and to the method of pruning aud training 
adopted. The vines arc mostly trained to stakes, 
which method crowds our free growing sorts 
too much, and the foliage becomes diseased. 
The la tern is had been so closely pruned or pulled 
off as iu many cuses to start the buds at their 
base into premature growth, thus destroying the 
next yeurs' crop. Subjected to such treatment 
last year, many vine growers present thought it 
easy to see why the crop of this present year is 
so light. On some trclliscd vineyards, belong¬ 
ing to the Messrs. Griffith, where the training 
was more open and tlie pruning not so close, 
the crop was better, though not as full as many 
expected to see. The rot had attacked the fruit 
to some extent, but it was hoped the disease had 
done its worst. 
A two-year-old Iona vineyard of ten acres was 
remarkable for its vigorous and healthy growth 
and generally promising condition. No summer 
pruning had been done in this, and the laterals 
had made abuudunce of wood, while tbe main 
canes averaged six feet probably in length. Of 
course, tlie cultivation of the ground was per¬ 
fect, the vines hud been protected during the 
winter by laying down, throwing a Harrow to 
them from each side, and then slightly cover¬ 
ing with coarse barn-yard manure. The neces¬ 
sity of protecting vines during the first winter 
in this locality has been taught the growers by 
the bitter experience of losing acres of them 
when unprotected in some severe seasons. 
the propagation beds. 
Another most interesting feature of these 
grounds were the propagation beds, more than 
ten acres iu extent, where uncounted numbers 
of young grape vines were growing from single 
eyes in tbe open air. The propagation consists 
in laying oil' the ground in beds three or four 
feet wide and inserting the single eye cuttings 
at distances of three or four inches, then covering 
the whole with spent tan-bark to the depth of 
one or two inches. The wood on the cutting is 
cut close to the bud on the upper side, and left 
as long as possible on the other end. They are 
inserted in the ground in a nearly perpendicular 
position. The theory is that the mulching holds 
hack the bud from breaking until the roots have 
started, so as to supply the plant with nutriment 
when that in the wood shall have been ex¬ 
hausted, It is because the bud starts first and 
uses up the food iu the wood before any is sup¬ 
plied by the tardy developing roots, that single 
eye cuttings fail when tried in the ojien ground 
without mulch. Any weeds that appear are 
palled out by hand. All of the hardier vines 
looked very well in these beds, the more tender 
ones were thin and of uneven growth, hut these 
defects were attributed to the aft g of unripe 
and very sma wood in making Jie cuttings. 
Mr. Griffith is, doubtless, the first who has 
applied this principle to the propagation of vines 
from single eyes on a large scale in the open air. 
He submitted a neport of the process to ILe 
United States Commission at the Paris Exposi¬

Lawn Making.—To make a good lawn the ground 
must be properly graded Ui such form as the owner 
may deem proper ft continuous slope or a succession 
of them. tTnder-draiimgo is important lu many cases. 
Deep plowing, liberal manuring, and a complete pul¬ 
verization of the soil, are pre-requisites to success. 
The seeding Is usually done with a mixture of equal 
proportions of rye-grass, blue-grass and white clover, 
pressed into the soil with a light roller. The mowing 
should be frequent, and a top-dressing of line manure 
annually or biennially, as may be necessary. Usually 
a dressing once In two years will be sufficient.

of seedlings from the Golden Clmssclns, which 
in no wise differed in appearance from Allen’s 
hybrid. Speaking of pruning he said the more 
healthy foliage there is on a plant the more and 
the better fruit It will bear. Summer pruulng 
should bo done by pinching the vine and direct¬ 
ing its growth, instead of removing alarge quan¬ 
tity of wood at once. 
Messrs. Moody aud Hoag of Lockport, re¬ 
ported the grape in their localities as very prom¬ 
ising. No mildew or rot. Considered the 
Clinton worthluss; regarded the Delaware, Iona, 
and Israclla as successful. 
Bronson, Geneva, N. Y., said all varieties 
cultivated were doing very well. Thought there 
was a greater tendency to mildew on light soils 
than heavy, lonus look well; the hunches of 
the first crops are a little open, but they im¬ 
prove in this respect as the vines get older. 
Champlin of Hammondsport, N. Y., reported 
the grape crop as promising very finely. Isabel¬ 
las doing well; also Delawares aud Catawbas. 
Hartford Prolifies began to color on the 17th of 
August. The foliage of the Iona looked well, 
and is healthy. It is a good grower; there were 
50,000 Ionas growing around Crooked Lake. 
Craine, Lockport, thought we should not 
look for a grape that will suit all localities and 
do well in all. It was important to find out what 
grape does best in a locality. With him Del¬ 
aware and Diana had made double the growth 
the Iona had. 
Bateham, Paineevllle, Ohio, recounted an ex¬ 
periment to define what he meant by the term 
locality. He planted two thousand Iona vines, 
half in his vineyard and the rest in a black, 
mucky soil, for the sole purpose of propagating 
from them. The latter mildewed badly. 
BreHM, Waterloo, N. Y., said the grape crop 
was abundant. Delaware had mildew on the 
leaf and the Concord showed some rot. 
Moss, Fredonia, N. Y., reported the winter as 
being severe on the vines, owing to the previous 
bad scasou for maturing the wood. 
Knox, Pittsburg, Pa., reported some rot on 
the Diana and To Kalou, and just enough on the 
Concord to do necessary thinning. 
The condition of the vine along the lake shore 
and on the Islands was reported by gentlemen 
from different places, 
Bement, Toledo, said tbe Catawba was a fail¬ 
ure. Concord rotted some. Delaware fine. 
Mr. Lewis said, on the Islands the Catawba 
had rotted again, although the season had been 
very iry and apparently favorable. Rotted most 
on the black soils, but they were diseased on all 
soils aud under all circumstances. There is more 
than half a crop left. The Concord does better,
