VARIOUS ORIGINAL RECIPES, 
The first Annual Exhibition of the N. Y. State 
Grape Growers’ Association, held, aB previously an¬ 
nounced, at Canandaigua on the 7rh and Sth of Oc¬ 
tober, was pronounced by distinguished horticultur¬ 
ists of this and other States the finest show of grapes, 
ever witnessed in this country. We have never be¬ 
fore made as large a collection of varieties, and kinds 
that heretofore have only scantily appeared on ex¬ 
hibition tables were here in profusion, Eighty-one 
exhibitors spread their collections on the ample 
tables, and, including seedlings and a few kinds of 
hot house grapes, the varieties numbered something 
more than one hundred. Judged by this Exhibition 
New York would be placed in the. front rank of 
grape growing States, a position she justly merits 
not only by reason of the extent of vine culture 
within her borders, but for the uuiform health and 
high productiveness of the grape in the same limits. 
Also in the manufacture of those important pro¬ 
ducts of the grape, wine and brandy, high excel¬ 
lence ha3 been attained. Both sparkling and still 
wiue6 and brandies, made in New York cellars from 
New York grapes, challenge with unvarying success 
those from any other part of onr country. And 
grape culture in this State, as elsewhere in the 
Union, has but began. And varieties that are hardy, 
early and excellent, render it possible to grow grapes 
in localities heretofore deemed unsuitable. Tne 
culture will rapidly widen. One of the most cheer¬ 
ful features of grape culture, made prominent by 
this Exhibition, is the exemption of the vine and its 
fruit from serious disease in this State, There is 
some mildew, but no rot. Frost is the most dan¬ 
gerous enemy. 
Amoug the numerous distinguished horticultur¬ 
ists present we noticed Hon. Marshall P. Wilder 
of Boston ; E. 8. Rogers, Salem, Mass.; Dr. John 
A. Warder, Ohio; Patrick Barry, Chas. Down¬ 
ing, Dr Grant and A. S. Fuller, New York. 
The display of the newer varieties and SeedliDgs 
was very interesting. Mr. Arnold, Paris, Canada, 
CiConomy, wmen have been tested and proved good. 
Cream Puffs.— One pint water, three quarters of 
a pound of flour, one-quarter of a pound of butter. 
when boiling stir in 
Let it cool, and stir 
Beat well. Drop in 
Let the batter and water heat 
the dry floor, scalding all of it. 
in ten eggs, one at a time, 
small rounds on a baking tin, and bake about fifteen 
minutes In a hot oven. When cool fill with the fol¬ 
lowing costard or cream: —One quart milk, one- 
quarter of a pound of flour. Wet the flour with 
part of the milk, and stir into the remainder when 
boiling. Boil bard one minute, then add four eggs, 
one-half pouud sugar, salt and flavor. 
Strawberry Pudding.— One pint bread crumbs 
rubbed fine before measuring, one pint of milk, the 
yolks of four eggs, and one whole one, one cup of 
sugar, a little salt. Bake and spread with straw¬ 
berry jam, then cover with a meringue of the whites 
of the eggs well beaten with Bix spoons of sugar. 
Set back in the oven for a moment 
Dover Cake.— One pound sugar, one of flour, half 
pound of butter, six eggs, one glass wine, one-half 
piut sour cream, one teaspoon saleratus. This makes 
a uice fruit cake by addiug fruit and spices. o. 
To Kbbi’ Cider.— Take new cider and tint over 
Tins is a new seedliDg apple which originated 
upon the farm of Jason Smith, Tyre, Seneca Co., 
N. Y. The tree, according to the writing of C. L, 
Smith, Esq , son of the originator, is “a good 
grower, very prodmMve of fruit, of uniform size, 
almost universally fair, and especially a market 
apple. It has been forwarded to, and examined by, 
t Barry, Esq , one of our best and most compe¬ 
tent Pomologists, who ranks it best in quality and 
ST5 £g e6 ts the name,” by whieh we here describe it. 
The fruit is of medium size, roundish oblate, light 
pale-yellow ground, with broken lines and splashes 
of deep crimson, shaded and marbled intermediate. 
Surface covered with a mouldy bloom, that before 
being rubbed shows prominently fair gray dots, but 
when rubbed down these gray dots mostly disap¬ 
pear. Stem very short, set in a broad, open, deep 
civity. Calyx with segments almost erect, and a 
very deep, open, round, regular basiu. Flesh white, 
crisp, tender, breaking, slightly acid, pleasant, but 
not rich or peculiarly sprightly. Core small, and 
broad pointed. Season, early September. 
We give the above figure and description of this 
new apple for public favor; at the same time we 
candidly say we do not consider it equal in quality to 
Benoni, or Summer Rose, or several others we could 
name that ripen at the same time; but there may 
be something in the tree which will cause it to 
prove of great value. It is an unpleasant task to 
say a discouraging word to the promulgator of a new 
fruit, but, it is our duty, and while we figure and 
describe this fruit, we do not commend it, only to 
amateurs for trial. 
Take new cider and put 
the fire aud just let it scald up, then put in good 
stone Jugs and seal while hot. Will keep any length 
of time, and is only richer by standing. 
To Fickle Green Tomatoes.—S lice any quantity 
desired, and put them in a weak brine over a slow 
tire, let them scald up, take oil', skim out and let 
them drain thoroughly, then put them in stone jars 
and pour over them hot spiced vinegar,—(cider vin¬ 
egar, of course.) 
Corn Starch Cake. — One cup butter, two cups 
sugar, one of sweet milk, the whites of six eggs, two 
cups flour and one of corn starch, two teaspoons 
cream tartar, one of soda; flavor with lemon. 
Orange Pudding, —Grate the peel of three or¬ 
anges into a pint of milk with three ounces of sugar, 
and two large slices of bread crummed into it; the 
yolks of four eggs. Let it just boll, with the vessel 
in water; add the juice of four oranges and bake half 
an hour.— Dele, Adrian, Mich.

was there a glut in the market There is one pecu¬ 
liar feature in the sale of this berry that is never 
known iu any other, and that is the great deviation 
in the price. It is a very common and general 
thing for it to vary fifty cents per bushel, and I 
have known it to vary $3 per bushel in a single day. 
To the dealers this does not appear strange, for it is 
so common that they arc accustomed to it; in fact, 
dealers frequently vary $1 or $2 per bushel in their 
sales on the same day, as there is no regular price 
with it,—each one asking all they think they can get. 
ARRIVALS AND SALES. 
The first arrivals from New Jersey came in the 
first week in July, and sold at $10 per bushel very 
rapidly. For several days they remained at that 
price, when they fell to $!), then again to $8, at 
which price they remained linn for a week, when 
they again advanced to $9. On the morning of 
July 22d, at four o’clock, they sold lively at $10 per 
bushel ‘ ’ K 
inns. ex. (j. o., Lake Forest, ill., asks for a recipe 
to dry citron, Cat the citron in Blices as for pre¬ 
serving. Boil the same in sirup made of white 
sugar flavored with iernon and ginger, until the cit¬ 
ron becomes clear, then dry on plates in an oven 
very slow. 
; at eight, o’clock A. M. for $7 per bushel. 
The next morning at $0, then §4 for the best, and 
the poor, soft stock to the wagoners at per 
bushel. Berries soon recovered, and the figures 
ran up to 85; then 89 aud 87, where they remained 
for several days. Again, on August 10th another 
panic started; berries selling early at $0, soon ran 
down to $4 for hard fruit, the soft selling at very 
low figures. This has been the general character 
of the trade throughout the whole season. When 
the stock was poor and abundant, the prices ran 
down t.o low figures, and as soon as it was worked 
off high prices again prevailed. 
New York, 1868. Now and Then. 
The fruit crop of Ohio for 1808 is very meager, a 
very severe frost over a large exteut of country in 
April having destroyed a large portion of the crop. 
Under these circumstances the exhibition at Toledo 
may be set down as very creditable though by no 
mem a very flattering if we except grapes. Apples 
were not fair and bright, but marred by rust aud ir¬ 
regular in growth. The unmber and varieties were 
well kept up. Most of the exhibitors were resi¬ 
dents in the immediate vicinity or along the shore 
of Lake Erie, 
Lamp cylinders can be prevented from cracking, 
when exposed to the burning flame, by first placing 
them in a vessel of cold water and bringing this to 
a boil over the fire, then removing the vessel and 
allowing it to cool before taking out the cylinder 
The exhibition of pears evidenced 
the adaptation of the heavy soil of this region for 
pear growing, and we mistake the signs if in future 
tuis branch of culture is not largely increased. We 
noticed excellent plates of BartleW Sccbels, Flem¬ 
ish Beauty, Louise Bonne de I Trey, Onondaga, 
JDufcbess d’Augoaleme and LJeurfc Clarigeau. The 
prominent exhibitors were G. Powers & Son, pro¬ 
fessional, and James D unipage, amateur, Perrys- 
ourg; Willard, of Cleveland; A. Fahnstook, To¬ 
ledo; Phillips & Son, Berlin Heights, and Lenk & 
& Co., Toledo. 
The show of grapes was very large and fine, prin- 
c.p dly from the lake shore region, from PaincsviBc 
to Toledo. The number of varieties was very large, 
embracing all the known and popular kinds, as 
well as many all uuknowu to fame. We found the 
Iona in great perfection, as well as many varieties of 
Roger's Hybrid, Rebecca, Cuyahoga, We. Delaware, 
Concord, Hartford Prolific, Ive?, Diana, Catawba, 
Israella, Adrien due and Norton’s Seedling, from 
their profusion appeared favorites. The latter has 
reputation as a wine grape. Some new varieties

grapes at several prominent exhibitions this year, which 
were unrivalled lu number of varieties and oxccllent in 
quality and appearance. Their collection in bearing 
comprises more than fifty kinds of out-door grapes, and 
they have some forty acres devoted to vineyard purposes. 
They also have a large number of seedling grapes, among 
which are many of promise, and one, yet unnamed, which 
may become a favorite. It shows a fine shouldered clus¬ 
ter, large, of a dark Catawba color, and tine llavor- It is 
a strong grower, with large, strong and healthy foliage. 
Wo shall watch Us development with interest. It has 
already been on trial some years, but will not be sent

Long worth Wine House Premiums. — At the late 
Horticultural Fair held in Cincinnati, the Longworth 
Wine House premium, silver plate vulued at $150, was 
awarded to ’.be Ives Seedling grape as the beet wine 
grape for the whole country. The silver enp, valued at 
$100, was awarded to the Concord as the best wiue grape 
for Ohio. This is simply nonsense, to say the least, and 
the award deserves to be characterized by a worse term. 
It is time that influential Horticultural Societies and re¬ 
spectable dealers should cease fostering the idea, which 
they know is false, that we have any one variety of fruit 
which may be termed best for the whole country, or even 
for an entire State. 
rjlIIE “EARLY ROSE” POTATO. 
THE EARLIEST AND THE BEST 
ORIGINAL STOCK. 
This celebrated Potato bus proved In every respect a de¬ 
cided success, and although but a short time has elapsed 
since Its introduction, it already rank* as the very best early 
potato known to cultivators. The good qualities which 
recommend tt are : 
1st. It is from ten days to two weeks earlier than any other 
potato. 
2d. It is of larger average size than any other early potato. 
3d. It is in table quality and delicacy of llavor without 
an equal. 
4th. It Is lu productiveness the most astonishing variety 
ever offered to the public, and the reports of the yield from 
single pounds the present season are marvelous. 
Wm, M. WaR.vkr, Watcrvllot Center, N. Y., raised 107 
pound's of '• Early Rose " the present season from one pound 
of seed. 
Samuel S. Hkrsii, York, Fa., 9 bushels and 1 peck from 5 
pounds. 
I* W. Baums, Postmaster, West Macqjlon, N. T., planted 
C>\ pounds of “ Early Rose,” and the average yield was 167 
pounds from each pound of seed. 
U. D. Mills of Rldgevllle, Ohio, raised 200 pounds from 
one of seed. 
G. JS S. Bo alt, Norwalk, Ohio, raised from 2>4 pounds of 
"Early Rose ” 19 bushels and 2S pounds. 
A. S. Rollins, Waterloo, N. Y., reports 19)* bushels from 
5 pounds of " Early Bose.” 
EB^Send for Descriptive and Illustrated Circular for fur¬

as numerous. Their fruit was very line, particularly 
Iouas, which variety is a great favorite with them, 
and does remarkably well in their locality. We no¬ 
ticed among their novelties the “ Montgomery,” 
which is white. It is of delicious flavor, but only 
half hardy. However, amateurs will cultivate it. 
These were, perhaps, the largest single collections 
of varieties, but the wine growing localities of the 
State were choicely represented. From Naples we 
saw J. W. Clark, who, in addition to the usual col¬ 
lection, Bhowed twenty feet of vine loaded with Isa¬ 
bella clusters. Hon. E. B. Pottle had a largo col¬ 
lection of Isabellas and Catawbas, and five other 
varieties. C. S, Lincoln eight varieties; W. B. 
Reed five; Geo. Reese ten; Harlan Hinckley 
premium Isabellas; S. L. Deyo eight varieties, and 
A. J. Byington five. There were numerous other 
exhibitors from that locality. Coming down the 
shores of Canandaigua Lake we find among the ex¬ 
hibitors Messrs. Morse A- Wells, Seneca Point; 
R. D Cook, M. D. Munger, R, P. Shaw and others 
Vine Valley, on the east side of the Lake, was rep¬ 
resented by A. C. Vqdnglove, Nichols, Seeley & 
Co., Ayers & Coff, and H. Green, whose Cataw- 
bas took the first premium after close competition 
witli the favored grapes of Pleasant Valley. The 
Pleasant Valley Wiue Co. of Hammondeport had on 
exhibition some twenty-eight varieties. E, W. Syl¬ 
vester, Lyons, showed ten varieties ; Dr. Parker, 
Ithaca, five Rogers’ Hybrids; Jos, Rsacu, Water¬ 
loo, twelve varieties; J. W. Bailey, PJattsbnrg, the 
Adirondac grape; Wm. Griffith, North EaBt, Pa,, 
Ionas and leraellas, and Ryckman & Go., Brocton, 
Erie, a fine collection. H. II. Farley, Union 
Springs, bore off some premiums. But we cannot 
particdiarize further. We give below a full list of 
exhibitors and their entries. Next week we will 
publish a synopsis of the discussions and other pro¬ 
ceedings. 
PREMIUMS AWARDED. 
The second day of the Grape Fair closed with an 
award of the premiums, which will be found below. 
The receipts were less than was expected and 
than they would have been but for the unfavorable 
character of the weather. About $250 was taken 
at the gate, white the avails of the refreshment 
saloon—some $200—wont to aid the Ontario Or 
phan Asylum. The awards were as follows:

GATUEBING. 
The process of gathering and marketing this 
fruit is done by “carters. 
who provide their own 
boxes, which generally contain eight or sixteen 
quarts. The eight quart boxes are packed in skcle 
ton cases, and the sixteen quart boxes are sent sin¬ 
gly, without tops, exeept a single slat nailed 
Beat it Who Can!—W e often hear and read of large 
yields of strawberries. These are generally estimated 
from the product of a few ieet, or at most a few square 
rods of ground, ThiB past season one-half acre of Wil¬ 
son’s Albany strawberries, grown on the grounds of 
Ellwangek & Babiiy of Rochester, yielded 6,400 quarts. 
They were measured in the ordinary quart market boxes. 
The patch is located on rich loam, with a southern ex¬ 
posure, and was thoroughly cultivated, being mulched 
for winter protection, kept Iu hills and hoed by hand. 
across 
the top to prevent them from settling in each other. 
These carters drive all through the pines and pur¬ 
chase the fruit, and then send it to market to be 
sold for them.

VARIETIES. 
This frnit has its varieties as well as all other 
kinds of fruit, a few of which I will mention. The 
earliest variety is called the Upland or Sugar berry; 
these grow on low bushes on the higher grounds. 
They are a small, blue berry, hard and very sweet. 
The Swamp variety, so called from the fact of their 
growing on the low, swampy grounds, are a large, 
blue berry, very soft, and possessing a tine flavor. 
This is the favorite or all its kind, but on account 
of its tenderness it does not bear transportation 
well, unless it is sent in small packages. The 
“Cracker,” which is so called on account of their 
containing a large number of very bard seeds, 
which produce a crackling sound when eaten, is a 
small, hard, black, shining berry, possessing a tart 
flavor. This is a favorite with the shippers, as it 
carries well. The Bilberry is a large, blue berry, 
quite tart, Jyet firm, aud is a favorite among the 
dealers on account of its good appearance. There 
is an Cpland berry which comes in market very 
late, similar to the early variery iu color and taste 
I presume it is a second growth of fruit of the 
same variety. 
where grown. 
In addition to Ocean Go,, we receive this fruit 
from other sections. The earliest we receive are 
from Maryland and Delaware. This fruit Is usually 
sent to market in the quart berry boxes. Some of 
the eastern States send us some later iu the season. 
The choicest article in this line whieh we receive 
grows on the Catskill Mountains. The fruit is sim¬ 
ilar to the New Jersey swamp berry in color, size 
and taste, yet much more firm. The mode of col¬ 
lecting and marketing is similar to New Jersey. 
RISE AND FALL OF SALES. 
This fruit has not sold as high in twenty years as 
it has this season; although the crop was light, the 
demand was unprecedented, and only occasionally
