CRAZE CULTURE.

A rocky or a sandy soil is said to be
essential to the proper culture of the grape.
Delaware has both, together with the eli
mate in which the grape thrives. Much OF
the soil in the northern Hundreds is so
rocky that il is worth little for agricultural
purposes, while Kent and Sussex are surely
sandy enough. Clark Bell, large American
vine grower, in recent series of articles GU
"The Vine in Europe in the New York
Euening Mail, says; -
"The lighter and drier the soil, the
smaller the plant, the sweeter the fruit, and
the setter the wine. That soil which is SC
very light and dry that it is literally fit fol
nothing else, is abroad often considered as
especially adapted to the grape. A sol
should be so light and porous that il will moi
retain water, to be best fitted to the grape
and no matter how poor or thin it may be
If on hill side, with a favorable exposure
and warm sun. it is certain to yield fan
wine."
1t would seem that the lower portion o
our State has all the requisites TO success il
grape culture, except "hill sides. Thes
are naturally somewhat hard to find, Their
being no hills. We believe SOM of gu
farmers have experimental somewhat wit
grapes; we shall be very glad if they vii
let us know the result.
