Experiments are being conducted in the groves and nurseries of 
President G. M. Bacon, at DeWitt, Ga., with a view to finding some 
root knot resistant stock upon which the English or Persian walnut 
may be propagated. If this trouble can be overcome (and results thus 
far are very encouraging) the planting of walnut groves in the far 
South will receive much attention.— The Nut- Grower. 
THE STARK GRAPE. 
C. W. Stark, of Stark Bros.’ Nurseries and Orchards Co., Louisiana, 
Mo., last month visited the vineyards of Prof Bachman, Altus, Ark , 
who originated the Stark-Star grape, and was enthusiastic over the 
sight of the bearing two year vines. He writes : “ Col. Evans says, 
and so say we all, it is the finest native ever seen—ruby, clear, and bril¬ 
liant ; aroma bouquet and flavor never seen—best in America. His 
Delaware wine is fine, but not equal to Stark. He has lots of large 
grapes along as they are ripe enough. Told him to put in small 
bunches to fill out corner of basket, etc., for office sampling, but there 
are no small bunches, and some of the grandest clusters ever saw east 
of California.” 
Stark-Star (Trade-Mark)—Large red—finest American grape. It is a 
cross of Catawba and Norton Virginia Seedling. Splendid grower and 
a wonderful cropper ; does not rot; fruit hangs three weeks later than 
Norton. For all regions south of about the fortieth degree we believe 
this will prove to be the most valuable grape known. Stark-Star was 
originated some ten years ago by Prof. Joseph Bachman, of Altus, Ark. 
William P. Stark says : “ The vineyard was visited this week by the 
committee from the Missouri State Horticultural Society, Prof. J. C. 
Whitten of the University, Columbia, Mo.; Hon. J. C. Evans Harlem, 
Mo. (for many years president of the Missouri State Horticultural 
Society); Mr. W. T. Flournoy, Marionville, Mo., a prominent horti¬ 
culturist, accompanied by our Mr. C. M. Stark. Our Mr. M. J. Crow 
is now in the vineyard securing photos, etc. In sending out vines and 
grafting wood last spring to the leading horticulturists throughout the 
country, our desire being to give it a most thorough test, we said then 
we had invested a good deal of money in the variety and the grape is 
fulfilling our greatest expectations. For general home use and ship¬ 
ping and for wine, certainly no grape is more beautiful and attractive 
or making a better showing.”
