Grapes IN Gardens IN FraAce-A very thick high
wall is found to be so heated in the daytime that It re-
aiDs the heat during night and this makes the grapes

Tie isabella Grape.-An animated discussion here
arose upon the Isabella and Cstawba Craps. Mr..
fuller said that the American Institute did not seem
10 realize that there other grapes grown than
the Isabella and Calawbs, as they offer no premiums
for any other variety.
Mr. PAROLE thought these two old sorts had ye. 10
give way to ard better ones.
Mr.. LAwIoN made long haraugue 10 favor OF the
Isabella would not believe that il is generally al-
ing, and likely 10 be superseded by new varieties
Prof. NASH. thought it important tina. the country
should know if II IL fact that this variety Of grapes
is failing diseased to be more difficult 70 grow
than other sorts.
SOLoN ROBINSON stated es an lecontrOverAoe i1Oe
that the Isabella grape is diseased, and tina. i not
worth while for any one to plant vineyard OF lsa-
bella vines in their present unhealthy condition.
Prof. Nash and Mr.. FULLER corroborased this
statement ard mentioned several varieties equal
ly good and much more healthy.
WM. S. CARPEsTER stated that he had taken much
pains 10 grow them and had no. had good bunch OF
.abelas for FIVE years. He had tried both close prun,
Ing and no pruning, and HE pruned vines produced
quite as well as the unpruned which proved the as
ssrt On false that the failure lie owing to mary nom
close pruning.
Mr. PKoyosI said that the vines mus, be reared by
seedlings; he had planted Isabella seeds to get ne"
vires
Several persons replied tia. there was no certainty
of getting the Ike from seed, since the blossom mgat
be ferlzed by pollen, carried from come o'hsr sui
by the bees. ,-.... .,-,.
MIR PaRDfE stated that he saw five distinct sorts
exhibited o. one Far all lsbsei Isabella. Or course
these were seedlings and though like the orsina "e'0
