EXPERIENCE OF A HOSPITAL NURSE.

Adirondac Grape. .is an event Of the high
est Importance to fruit growers, and the
greatest advance yet attained by native
grapes. Its pcculiarities are extreme ear
illness, large berries and clusters, tender
and thin skinned, melting without any
perceptible pulp, and of the most delic-
cious and delicate flavor, reminding one
of that splendid hot house grape, the
Black Hamburger"
Two grape exhibitions were held 81
multaneously, one at Cleveland for grapes
and native wines, Sept. 30th and Oct. lst
and I'd, and the other in New York, on
Oct lst. I'd, and Sd. These exhibitions
were largely attended by amateurs and
professional pomologists, many from sur
rounding and distant States. At Cleve-
land prize was offered for Largest and
best bunches of Native Grapes of any
kind" The prize was awarded to John
W. Bailey, of Plattsburgh, for the " Adj
rondac." The second prize was given to
the Cawtaba. At New York prize was
offered for for the Five best bunches of
native grapes of any kind, quality to rule.
This prize was awarded to John W. Bailey
for the Adirondac." These awards are
substantially the same, and they place
the Adirondac at the head of all native
grapes.
The editor of the Ohio Farmer says
The Adirondac Grape was here from
J. W. Bailey, Plattsburgh, N. Y. Mr.
Elliott Of Cleveland. who acts as agent
says that the punches were not as large
as those shown at the Pathological Con-
vention last fall in Boston, but they were
better colored--that the punches ther
shown must have been gathered two week:
earlier, and were not so high colored as
these, nor the favor as good. AS now
shown, the berries were bright shining
black, and we call the favor the very
best of any grape in the room. Mr. Ell
lott tells US that Mr. Bailey wrote hin
that these were gathered from young
vine, and after the best lunches on ever
that vine had been gathered for other ex
hibitions. The committee made this th
premium grape, and we coincide in thei
Judgment. Here let us also say tina
probably no better committee could hav'
been made up in the United States. Mr.
Lyon and Prof. Kirkland, both men &C
cquainted with grapes, and both amateur
growers, while Mr.. Mcintosh is an ole
nurseryman, with twenty odd years ac
cquaintance with fruit, but now nurse

sons. No one of the committee. thcrefor
