Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1863-10-03

THz GRAPE AND WINE Show closed yes
terday. The attendance upon it was not
large,-i. E., no great thrOng at any one time
crowded the rooms. But many came sud
went, and grape growers from all sections Of
the country had an opportunity to exchange
facts and theories with each other. The re-
suit will be wider knowledge and deeper zeal
in the cause of grape culture. The premium
list on wines and fOWeTe has not yet been
made out in full.

The premium offered by Oliver Alger, ESQ.,,
for the best hardy native white or light
green grapes, not less than eight lunches
The only varieties that came in competion for
this premium, were Rebecea and Lydia, and it
was awarded TO the former, which was beautifully
grown, while the punches OF the latter were de-
fective.
The premium of five dollars offered by the
Ohio Farmer, for the best seeding unnamed
native grape, not less than five lunches, is hot
awarded, as, although there were several yarie-
ties entered, there are none which in the iudg-
ment Of this committee give sufficient evidence
of merit to justify them in placing them thus
prominently before the public.

l, J. W. Bailey, for Adirondao ao..-........... 90
The second premium TO entry No. 9 for Ca
taWba Daniel Stewart 90
This award would probably have been reversed
tawha entered for this premium, while the Adj
rOndac entered against it was perfectly mature
and of excellent quality.
The Committee have carefully examined a col
lection exhibited by n. r. Haskell, of Monroe,
Michigan, as new varieties, and regret to say that
they lind them too imperfeetly ripened to war
rant the expression of an opinion respecting
them.
Varieties claiming to be recent seedlings were
exhibited by Taylor Of Bedford, COe of Norwalk,
Hale Of Green Eieh, and others, but none Of them
appeared to possess sufficient merit to justify a
recommendation.
In conclusion, the Committee would express
their high app eciaton of the entire display of
this fruit, which they esteem as q valuable study
both to the grape grower and the pomologist.
