ticultural gallery at the Exposition and
reflect that one hundred years ago and the
wild Indian was ranging in unsubdued
and untamed savagery upon the hills
sides where now the orchards and vine
yards are planted that bears such
luscious fruits as this. Here are
apples like pumpkins, great green
Gloria Mundis-truly the glory of the
world in size and beauty and flavor Buck
inghams, with their bright stri pc of
red; Vanderver Pippins, with their ruddy,
tawny cheeks; Spitzenburgers, striped
with red and gold; Lyman Sweet,
of pale waxy yellow; Bellehowers, so
Juicy and tender and golden, with family
blushing cheek; Tulpehocken, and a hun
dred others that would make the STAR a
nurseryman's catalogue to attempt to give
in detail. On the next table are pears that
it makes one almost unhappy to unable
to be boy again long enough to steal a
pocketful off the tree where they grew. The
third table is devoted to fruits in general
and embraces nearly everything grown in
this climate. Apples, pears, plums, grapes
peaches, ounces, pe"smmons, crabs, rasp-
berries of which fine plate OF blackcaps

Twenty-Five varieties of grapes were in
cluded in this general display. On a side
table were shown magnificent collection
OF near one hundred varieties Of grapes
grown in the open air in almost endless
variety-great, luscious clusters that might
have crowned Bacchus with beftting
wreath and half excused him for drunken
ness by the magnitude of his temptation.
Further along was table of but one or two
varieties but of most misunderstanding white
and black glass-grown grapes, exhibited by
the Cincinnati Floral Company. Immense
stems of such delicious-looking grapes
that one could hardly obey the iniunc-
