DIAMOND. A white Grape of handsome ap¬ 
pearance, equal or superior to Niagara in quality, 
and io days earlier than that variety. It is pro¬ 
lific, and very thrifty and vigorous. Seems well 
suited for culture in the South, both for home use 
and market; it has succeeded finely in south 
Florida.

twenty large, purplish black berries; sweet, vinous.

valuable early varieties for market. One of the 
hardiest; strong grower; very productive; stands 
shipping well; bunch large; berries large, black, 
pulpy, sweet, of good quality. A popular wine

size and shape, but an improvement on that va¬ 
riety in quality and in time of ripening, which is 
earlier.

yellow; fiesh sweet; quality good. Its large size 
and fine appearance, together with its good quality

orous and prolific. One of the best varieties for 
east and south Florida.

Walnuts 
English Walnuts are not grown in the Lower South to the extent they are farther north 
and on the Pacific slope, and, generally speaking, are not considered as reliable here as there. 
The recently introduced Japan Walnut has, however, fruited abundantly in many sections 
throughout Florida and the Gulf coast region, 
climate. 
ENGLISH. The well-known Madeira Nut of 
the shops. In regions where it is adapted, a fine, 
lofty tree, with a spreading head, bearing crops of 
excellent nuts enclosed, like our native Black 
Walnut, in a simple husk. Our trees are grown 
from seed, the thinnest-shelled nuts to be had 
being secured for this purpose. 
JAPAN. Produces in abundance nuts consid¬ 
erably larger than the common Hickory Nut, 
which are borne in clusters of 15 to 20 The she'I 
is thicker than the shell of the English Walnut, 
23 ] 
and seems to be thoroughly adapted to our 
which in a general wav it resembles, but is not as 
thick as that of the Black Walnut. The meat is 
sweet, of good quality, and can be removed en¬ 
tire. The tree grows rapidly, and attains a very 
large size, with a magnificent spreading top. 
The leaves are of immense size, of a charming 
shade of green, and very handsome. We have 
fruited this variety on our grounds for several years 
pist, and are annually more and more impressed 
with the value of the tree, both for its nuts and as 
an ornamental.
