across DR.. Heath's ars icles in the next
number OF the same paper and he learns
that all grapes that the doctor has seen
grown in Florida "are like the California
fruit-fat and tasteless, and will not sell
for any fancy price" and also that the
farther North grapes are raised the
higher they sell. He gets rather uneasy
New York, he sees that in September,
New York State Niagara grapes are
quoted 5 and cents per pound. Now,
if according to DR.. Heath's experience,
New York State Niagaras sell higher than
those from New Jersey; New Jersey
Niagaras higher than those from Dele
ware and Maryland; Delaware, and
Maryland Niagaras higher than those
from Virginia; Virginia Niagaras higher
than those from North Carolina; North
Carolina Niagaras higher than those
from South Carolina; South Carolina
Niagara higher than Georgia Niagaras
and from Georgia higher than those from
Florida-with New York State Niagaras
at 5 and 6 cents what will the price OF
Florida Niagaras be?
The question is, which article is to be
trusted, Haynes, Young& Bailey's or DR..
Heath's? The former have a basis for
their statement. They affirm having net
ted 25 cents per pound and their vine
yard having averaged ten pounds OF
grapes per vine. There is no exaggera-
tion in the yield Of ten pounds per vine,
but these ten pounds of grapes are not
all marketable fruit which Messrs Haynes,
Young 4 Bailey acknowledge in reducing
the average per acre to two tons. In re-
gard to the price Niagara grapes can be
sold at in New York, no wise man who
sets out a vineyard now should expect
his vines to net him 25 cents per pound
when his vineyard comes into bearing.
Twenty-Five cents net means thirty
cents in New York, which is fancy price
and although, Niagara in June is for the
present, fancy grape owing to it's fine
appearance and specially it's scarcity at
that time, when itbecomes more common
it will no more be considered a fancy
fruit, but will remain finelooking grape
and on that account, will always sell at
remuneratiye prices; SO will Delaware
on account Of it's fine quality.
DR.. Heath says all Florida grapes he
has tasted are like California fruit "fat
and tasteless," which is rather hard on
California grapes. do not know what
the Doctors ideal of fine grape is, but
| have this to say: After having visited
the vineyards OF Portugal, Spain, France
and Germany have tasted some Cali
fornia Muscats which pronounce inferior
to none; if add that the Muscat is con
sidered the best grape in existence what
remains of Dr. Heath's assertion?
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1890-11-05

[ pity the would-be grape grower who
reads our State agricultural papers in
search of information on the subject Of
grape culture. One day he sees that, if
he wants to succeed, he must plant
Northern grown vines, as all Florida
grown vines he could get will prove a
de I'D failure. The same writer, however,
offers him 200, 900 cuttings, which, prob
ably from some Northern doctoring, will
make Florida grown vines that will sue
ceed Then another comes and says that
it's all bosh and that il Florida is adapt
ed to the growth and fruiting OF a certain
variety of grapes, there is no reason why
this variety in order to succeed, should
be propagated just in d little corner Of
New York State, by a certain wizard Ct
the profession, and then come to Florida
with little talsman (of lead) around
it's neck.
A third one will settle the question by
affirming in a dictatorial way, that
Florida is not adapted to grapes: Tails
man or no talisman they are all doomed! !!
A party will tell him he grated some
English grape on wild Muscadine and
it made 900 feet of growth in one season
notwithstanding the fact that he had to
cut it off when it reached his neighbOr's
fence. He had counted $500 buds on
that vine and as each bud generally
averages two punches, weighing say one
half pound each, he though he could
reasonably expect, the second year, q
crop of 1900 pounds of grapes, which at
only 25 cents per pound would have
amounted to $749.75. For one vine,
think little! But, (there is always a
'but" or an ''if'') before the next season
that wonderful vine, which used to feed
on soap suds, died from an indigestion
OF the same, supplement by an overdose
of night soil. This, Of course, will not
deter the same party from planting ten
acres to wild bullace dug in the woods,
set out a hundred feet apart, which he
will graft to some other English grape
and he is already calculating the i'm
mense income he will derive from such a
vineyard
The would-be grape grower may not
take to that grating business, but now
suppose he happens to hit on Messrs.
Haynes, Young & Bailey's article in the
AGR1CULTURIsT of October 9Th. Hereads
that "a vineyard should bear when it is
three year old, at least two tons to the
acre" which at $500 per ton, would give
$1,000 per acre. He gets struck at once
and decides on Niagara vineyard.
Happily or unfortunately, he comes
