DEAR sIRs: Yours Of the 18Th I am in receipt Of,
which yOuask IL 1 have nyObiectiOnst to sending
you, for publication, the iact3 i Am acquainted with,
In relation to the character Of the WdlteT Grape. /
have never indOrsed the character or usefulness OF
vines, or other articles Ofany description, and would
not at my present stage OF life were Il not for two
reasons which seem sufficient. First, IknOwrthe
Wdtcr Grape VIII meet the prejudiceS widespread
throughout the country, cauSedby the WOrthiedsness !
in most localities Of many Of its predecessors. Sec
Ond, because ] can say from personal observation /
that the Walter Is the best variety have had any
knowledge Of, and I think I have cultivated nearly
All that have been recommended, discardiDg them |
all and falling back upOnthe Concord and Hartford
Prolific as vineyard varieties. i am interested in |
that the fruit Of the Walter grows larger /
each year rs the vine grows older, being last year /
fully One-third larger than Il WAS two years ago. II l
grows we'll; sets fruit we'll Ihave seen IL ripe sew
eral times before Hartford, and 1 have never seen /
any mildew on its fruit or on its large and thick, but
Delaware shaped foliage. The flavor Of the fruit I
think superior TO any other variety. You say In |
your circular II Is q Seeding Of the Delaware and
DIANA think the charactsr Of each Of these VaFie- /
g. quite distingUfshable On the WGheT, particu-
larry that Of the Delaware. / alSd think e would

bella seldom Epens, and each time Twas fily ripe Il

I'm the low valley and tenacious clay of
MOdena, and also in the dry siatey position IN
POughkeepsie, ! think It viii be wels adapted to the
varied sections Of our country. You may make
