ANSWERED BY JUDGE WILLIAM PARRY. 
A. has been sadly disappointed, and possi¬ 
bly he has sustained a loss by the plants not 
proving to be Wordens; but it would be im¬ 
possible to estimate the prospective value of 
the plants or fruit had they been Wordens, 
or the damage sustained by their proving to 
be Janesvilles. B. should, however, bo re¬ 
quired to furnish genuine Wordens to the 
amount of the price of the spurious plants, 
and if the Wordens ut the time of purchase 
were worth more than their market value 
now, tin* difference should be placed to the 
credit of A., and stock of his selection should 
be furnished at market rates to balance. 
Most nurserymen, where such errors occur, 
are willing to settle in this way, which is gen¬ 
erally satisfactory to the purchaser. 
P. N.-Y .—The decision of Judge Parry 
seems rather unfair. Owing to B.’s mistake 
in sending plants not desired, A. loses three 
years of time. It would unquestionably be 
difficult to decide in dollars and cents what 
this loss would be equivalent to; but there 
ought in justice to bo some compensation be¬ 
yond replacing the Janesvilles with Wordens. 
Suppose the second Jot of vines proves to bo 
other than Wordens; A. would then bo 
obliged to wait three years more. 
Miscellaneous. 
DISCUSSION. 
WORDEN, CONCORD AND SOME OTHER GRAPES. 
E. P. P., Clinton, N. Y.—-The reports from 
the Rural Grounds ofteu surprise me—last of 
all the comparison of Worden and Concord. I 
have the best grape situation in Central Now 
York—a swale facing southeast and perfectly 
drained. Now in this vineyard of mine,Wor¬ 
den was in good condition for eating two 
weeks ahead of Concord, it is a superb grape 
for this reason,and also because it is agreeable 
for the table even though not entirely ripe; 
while a Concord is abominable till dead-ripe. 
The flavor of the Concord and Worden are cer¬ 
tainly decidedly different. I could surely not 
be deceived in the dark about them. The 
Worden I sold readily for seven cents; the 
Concord for from three to five. There is 
nearly double the difference iu profits owing 
to time of ripening. But, say what any oue 
will, we have not yet outlived Rogers's Hy¬ 
brids: Massasoit, Agawam, Lindley, No. 30, 
Gbertuer, Herbert are among our very best 
grapes, and likely to remain so. I agree with 
the PlCral about the Niagara—it is wondrous- 
ly takiug, but it is not a very superior grape 
iu quality. Poeklingtou is a very fine grape, 
when perfectly ripened, which it seldom is. 
Duchess needs a little winter care and is a 
magnificent affair. Grapes are hardly ever 
eaten when dead-ripe, hence all sorts of opin¬ 
ions. Martha as marketed is only tolerable, 
but let ir, hang on the vines till the last of Sep¬ 
tember and then try it. Lady is good on Au¬ 
gust 25th; but lot it hang till September 10th, 
aud each berry is a bag of honey. Yes, plant 
grapes; only plant lots of them, so you won’t 
have to eat them greeu. A small vineyard 
well cared for is less trouble than two or three 
sprawling vines. 
R. N-Y.—What we stated with regard to 
the Worden was the result of careful compari¬ 
sons between it aud the Concord. We are told 
by Mr. E. IV illiams, wbo gave us our vines, 
aud who is confident it is a true Worden, that 
this variety is liable to change as it grows 
older. This may proveto be the case with our 
viue at the Rural Grounds. Our correspon¬ 
dent must have noticed that there is a great 
aud unaccountable difference of opinion as to 
the Worden. 
J. T., North Madison, Ind.—In reading 
the Ri Hal’s description of the Fustigiate Oak 
trees on the Rural Grounds in a late issue I 
was led to think some slight mistake had been 
made. “Ten years ago two were planted; 
one died; the other is now 30 foot high, 
though scarcely more than six feet in diame¬ 
ter. For narrower portions of the lawn where 
paths or roads converge and there is little 
space for trees, the Fustigiate Ouk is just tile 
thing.” It appears to me that for its age it is a 
tall oak. As to the diameter—six feet—you 
must be a little off; maybe you meant inches. 
As for a six-foot tree lieing suitable for a small 
space iu a lawn, you must be a little off there. 
In this country a six-foot oak or poplar tree 
is a rarity. Four-foot trees are now scarce, 
ami they are 100 to 130 feet high. 
R. N.-Y.—Why our friend shou’d take for 
granted that the stem or trunk is referred to 
when neither word is mentioned, while the 
leaves are spoken of, is not quite clear to us. 
At any rate, we alluded to the diameter of the 
entire tree.

J. P. M., Somerville , N. J. —1. Four years 
ago I planted some Fay’s Prolific Currants; 
year after year they continue to keep the tree 
form: uo sucker or cane lias ever grown from 
the roots. The growth of wood too is compar¬ 
atively small; while the new wood often bends 
towards the earth. Would planting the cut¬ 
tings tip eud down produce such an effect? 2. 
In August last 1 bought and set out -inil potted 
strawberry plants, the ball of earth surround¬ 
ing each plant, not exceeding the diameter of 
a broom-stick, consequently the roots were 
small and weak. As a result, more than half 
the plants havo boon lost. What is the size of 
the pots generally used for this purpose? 3. 
The plants referred to were well soaked tlu’oo 
times and slightly covered with long straw to 
partially shield them from the sun; was this 
right? 
Ans. —We doubt whether it would make any 
difference in the habit of a bush or vine or 
tree whether the cutting was rooted one way 
or the other. That tho currants have not 
formed suckers is no doubt owing to some in¬ 
jury which the lower buds or shoots have re¬ 
ceived. The Fay is a sprawling grower—more 
so than the old Dutch,but no more so than t he 
Grape or Cherry Currants. 2. A nurseryman 
should bo ashamed to send out such stuff for 
“potted” plants, aud our friend ought to have 
returned them. The object of {lotting plants 
is to secure an abundance of roots aud also of 
of soil, so that when transplanted, tho plunts 
will continue their growth. A three-inch (di¬ 
ameter) pot Is none too large. We have never 
favored “potted plants” even though well and 
properly grown, but the stuff that is often 
sent out as such is simply an imposition. 3. 
Yes; that was right certainly. 
It'. C. If., Shrewsbury, Mass.— Is this a good 
feed for milch cows: two pounds of middlings 
and shorts mixed; two pounds of linseod meal 
(new-process) and two pounds of gluten meal? 
Vns.—G luten meal is a rich food. It is the 
nitrogenous part of the corn left after the 
starch has been taken out; Rut as linseed 
meal is also rich iu gluten or albumen, and the 
shorts contain also a large nroportion of glu¬ 
ten, this feed is not a desirable one excepting 
for some special purpose. At least two pounds 
of corn meal should be added m place of one 
pound each of linseed and gluten meal. This 
would make u better balanced feed for a cow 
giving milk. 
M. P. Me.C., Darlington, Pa .—Can I get a 
cement for repairing cracked ironware, like 
pots and kettles? 
Ans.—S tove dealers do not know of any such 
cement. The Scientific American gives tho 
following as a cement used for large steam 
pipes: Litharge two parts, powdered slaked 
lime one part, sand one part. Mix tho mass 
with a sufficient quantity of hot linseed oil 
varnish to form a stiff paste. This cement 
must be used while fresh and warm.
