FINE FRUrT.-We had the pleasure,
yesterday, through the courtesy of Mr..
r. ONeale, Jr., of testing the quality of
some most delicious grapes and water
melons, of native growth. Mr.. O'Neale
had supply Of magnificent and finely
favored grapes from his own vineyard,
which has proved decided success, un-
der his skillful management. There were
also varied assortment of hybrid grapes,
grown by DR.. Peter Wiley. of Chester.
DR.. Wiley is devoted to grape C; :ure,
fand there has been no one in the .ited
States more successful. The grape aich
he has named the jamie Wylie, and which
is q hybrid from the Delaware and Hall
fax, whs pronounced by connoisseurs as
the most delicious. fully equalling in ap-
pearance, pungency and delicacy OF flavor
the choicest foreign varieties. There
were also hybrids from the Delaware and
hybrid Scuppernong, Labrnsca and
foreign, Clinton AMI Syrian, and many
Others. We certainly have never seen
| finer specimens of grapes, nor even as
fine, and it needs but to see and taste
them to be convinced what South Caro-
lima can do in the way of growing grapes.
Mr.. O'Neale is very enthusiastic on the
subject. and may we'll be, from his
marked success 60 far. The water
melons, one of which weighed fifty
pounds, were of the Lawton variety, and
grown by Mr.. O'Neale. They were pro-
nounced perfect.
