is then a great subdivision OF the
branches. and a more bushy and com
pac. growth, without these long
hranc6less shoots SO common to
ether grapes. The bushy, compact
habit and the evenly distributed
fruit render pruning unnecessary. A
iudicions thinning ont OF branches
when they are too crowded, ana the
cutting away of feeble parts will help
the general vigor of the plant
The vine will begin 10 bear the
season, after it has taken to the
canopy, the second year from The
LAYER. AS the growth increases an
nuallv, so does the production. l
cannot give, from my own knowl-
edge, any definite statement OF the
production, never having made any
careful measurement but twenty
five TO thirty bushels TO the old vines
are often spoken OF. A vintner in
North Carolina says, in one OF our
horticultural magazines: I'VE nave
good many single vines that bear
fifty to seventy.five bushels" A
bushel Of Scuppernong grapes weigh,
ing about sixty pounds, will yield
from three to four gallons OF wine,
besides the vinegar that may be made
from the pomace In making the
wine, it is usual 10 add about one
pound of crushed sugar TO the gallon
of juice, to give it more body and
better keeping qualities.
Besides the Scuppernong there are
several other good varieties OF Wits
vulpina in cultivation. Among them
may be mentioned, Thomas, Flowers,
Mish, Tender-pulp, Peedee. The
last mentioned and the Scuppernong
are greenish grapes, the Others black
or purple. They are all, believe,
accidental seedlings; that is, they
were found in the woods, and have
not resulted from mans improving
agency.
stIt is a curious fact in regard to
this species, that whilst there is a
great tendency to variation IN the
quality of the fruit, even Ill the wild
state. the other botanical characters
remain permanent. ] have compared
carefully these cultivated varieties
with the wild grape, and can detect
no change whatever in Leaf or general
habit. The only deviation, besides
that of color in the truit. is In the
color of the tendrils, three OF the
.e.>.oouea u,b;, ,.iaLipss ssSs- Y F-S.-
nong and Peedee-having pale green
ish ten6rils, while the purple kinds
have purple iendrils.
There is undoubtedly good field
here open for experimenting and i'm
proving the vigorous and prolific
Southern grape. in every case that
has come under my observation, the
seedlings OF Scuppernong have re-
verted 10 the original black grape.
OF some fifty or sixty seedlings that
| have raised from selected fruit. all
were black aud inferior TO the parent.
l have no doubt, however, that with
systematic and persevering endeav>
ors, better varieties may be obtained.
Taking advantage OF the tendency to
variation in tits as i'll other grape
seedlings, some variety may yet be
found of better quality and earlier
habi,s, so as to be capable OF cuitlva'
ton further North.

Gal says: The intense WEAKNESS Of thu
President with bis confinement, which finds
expression in almost every conversation will
his friends and attendants, and the anxiety
Of DIR. Boynton to secure for Mrs. Garfield a
change Of scenes and air, led to discussion
Of ways and means to make movement
without danger. DR.. Bliss says that the mo-
tion Of . railway train might be hnrtful ever,
In month from now, while the dangers OF
the track, the noise, the crowds, ETC., render
that mode Of travel out of the question foi
many weeks. Capt. Rockwell proposes first
to take the President 10 Old Point Comfort
on the steamer dispatch. Should tins prove
Of benefit after few days, then TO take ad-
vantage Of calm weather and run around Ia
Long Branch. The President is strongly II,
favor of seaside resort and longs for the sea
voyage. Mrs. Garfield has taken strong
dislike for the White House. She says every
hour In It has been replete with care, illness
and danger. She believes that the President
would recover quickly If once out Of Its intiu-
ence. II improvement continues At It's pres
ent rate, the surgeons say there is no reason
why the President should not spend the first
week Of August at Long Branch. Every eff
