Cleveland morning leader. [volume] (Cleveland [Ohio]) 1854-1865, 1864-10-01


the display was not as full as anticipated,
the discussion which has been provoked, is
Of great Importance, and the Show must,
therefore, be considered success. Below
is given the Report of the Committee on
Grapes.
The Committee appointed to examine the
Grapes and report upon their value and
merits for award of premiums, respectfully
offer the following as, in their judgment,
| deserving of comment and award. While
they can but regret that the competition
was not as large as the general interest of
the subject and extended culture of the
| Grape would warrant in expecting, they
have to say that the punches of fruit, for
size, evenness and uniformity, fully war
rant all that has been argued in favor Of
the successful propagation of the Grape in
| Ohio.
