NAToMA Notes.-The Folsom Telegraph
of Saturday last says: Among the ship
ments from the Natoma Company's ranch
this week was their exhibit for the Worlds
Fair at New Orleans The agent Of the
Horticultural Society, Mr.. Jessup, arrived
rather late III the season to secure the
choicest specimens, and the late rains had
done considerable damage to the grapes.
However, he secured several clusters OF the
Tokay variety, weighing from six to eight
pounds which will be placed in large glass
jars containing preserving fluid of lasting
power On the under side of the cover of
the Jar is fixed a small staple. TO this the
cluster is suspended and submerged in the
liquid. BY this means all pressure is re-
moved from the grapes and there IS no dam
ger of crushing them. Samples Of the Mus
cat and Emperor varieties. are handled in
the same way. A barrel Of Emperor and
Tollay in alternate layers was also packed
in cork dust and shipped. The cork dust
absOrbs all moisture thrown off by the
grapes, thus preventing them from mildew-
ing and decaying. Cork also being non
conductor Of heat the grapes are prevented
from drying up. y cutting Of this sum
