Grapes in the Hudson Valley.
MARLBOROUGH On. ", August 26th.-
Concord grapes along the HUDSON are be-
ginning to color, and in three weeks the
first of the early fruit from the vineyards
will commence going to market The crop
will be immense-fully twice as heavy as
the notable yield of 1883. Acres of new
vines will come into bearing this fall for
the first time, and old vines were never
before 50 vigorous or so prolific The
quantity of fruit will not only be very
large, but it will be the finest ever shipped.
The summer has been favorable through
out, frequent showers and hot weather
having made the berries large in size and
clusters. Full-shouldered vines fairly
groan under the weight of fruit, and the
outlook is that New York City will have
the cheapest grapes during the latter part
of September and all through October on
record. Growers are making preparations
to ship ConcoEds east, west and north.

distinct and separate climates embraced

changes as the New Workers have exper-
fenced within forty-eight hours. We do
