Some Native Cranes.

In a general way it may be said that
grapes will grow anywhere, but before
planting them it is we'll to understand that
they have choice places where they thrive
the best, says the american Cultivdtor. A
cold, damp place is probably the poorest
locality for grapes to succeed, while a
warm, well-draned site is sure to induce
good growth and production from vines
that are properly planted and cared for.
Where water is slow in getting out Of the
soil the grapes will have a sickly, scraggly
appearance, and on the approach of wet
weather the rot will invariably destroy
most of them.
We have grapes Of all kinds now, and
there Is scarcely q section of the country
that cannot grow some Of them success
fully. The native grapes in this country are
proverbially fine in SIZE appearance and
quality. and good cultivation has done
much for them. The present season has
been prolific one, and as we'll profitable
one for the growers. The Concord never
fails among black grapes to hold its own,
and II is as much of q standby to-day as
when first introduced. Ripening about the
same time with the Concord Is Barrv's black
grape, which is large, productive grape Of
sweet flavor. Moore's Early has succeeded
in selling well, because of its earllness and
large size. The great fault with this grape
Is that 1t is not so productive as several 9TH
ers, or it would outrival all other early
grapes. Among the early grapes that con-
test with the Concord for supremacy is the
Wider, which some consider the best black
grape, and the Worden. The Concord,
however, stands pra-emnenr among these
early black grapes, and it is difficult for
them to sell better. IL it were not for the
great value OF the Concord many of these
other early grapes would be better known
by the public.
The white grapes have likewise been lin
tied in name and fame by the overriding
Importance of one variety, the Niagara.
This is a late grape, and it leaves room for
early white grapes of other varieties. The
Pocklington is a good white grape, but 1t
ripens with or after the Niagara, and never
commands quite the sale that it otherwise
would. 1t Is an excellent grape, but 1t
must be planted in places where the frost
does not come too early in the fall. The
Lady Washington is an earlier and very
sweet grape, but the Lady is sweeter yet,
but perhaps with not quite so much char
acter to the flavor.
The Delaware stands among the red
grapes as the Concord and Niagara do
among the black and white grapes. The
public knows it thoroughly, and for its
name it always sells rapidly. The Brighton,
however, is preferred as a choice grape by
many. The Salem is also good red grape.
and is large of berry and bunch.
The Lindley has its advocates. who claim
for it the best appearance and quality of all
the red grapes. The Delaware is a ram
pant grower, and is hardy generally In all

The Burr Artichoke.

H.F.C.: The "Burr" or (Globe) arti-
choke is vegetable very extensively Guilt
waited In France and other European coun-
tries, but does not receive much attention in
our southern gardens, and it is rarely ever
seen in our markets. Toe vegetable must
not be COMPOUNDED with the Jerusalem arti
choke, the valuable part of which is the
tuber. They belong to different families.
The Burr or Globe artichoke is cultivated
for Its flower heads alone, which are
gathered before they become ripe. These,
after being boiled, are served with butter
and pepper and salt and vinegar. and are
considered very great delicecy by cultl-
waited tastes. There is but one distinct va
riety, we believe, and this Is the Green
Globe" 1t is propagated from the seeds,
but after some plants are secured further
propagation can be made by suckers which
spriug up from the roots. It is a rank
growing plant and the rows should be four
feet apart, and the plants set two and half
OF three feet aparti in the row. A short row
or two in some out-of-the~way place will be
sufficient for an ordinary sized family. There
is not much profit TO be made out OF grow
ing it, except near the large cities where
luxury fiourishes. 1t is tedious crop to
market and, intrinsically, is of little value
for food, though it is rare delicacy. Unless
persons of small means raise it in their own
gardens they are not likelyto indulge in the
use OF Burr artichoke very frequently.
This plant is q hardy perennial and, like
asparagus, when once well established will
endure for a number of years. II will be-
gin to bear freely the second year.
If suckers are not procurable secure
fresh seed and So in cold frames in Janu-
airy, or in warm border in February. and
as soon as the plants get five or six inches
high and strong enough transplant them
into rows, and cultivate them frequently
enough to keep down all weeds and grass.
1t is a plant that requires good deal of
mineral matter. II the soil is not naturally
rich give free application of ashes along
with Simple phosphate or bone dust. II the
plants do not grow as rapidly as they

Fertilizers for Strawberries.

Prof. j. W. Clark, of the Missouri Expe-

sawdust as Manure and Mulch.

Sawdust is of but little value as manure,
and should never be used as such until It is
well rotted. 1t may, however, be used as
mulch on raspberries, blackberrles. cur
rants and gooseberrles in your location to
advantage. if it can be obtained as little ex-
pense. Hardwood sawdust is best. The
sawdust should be applied about two inches
deep, which is thick enough to kill out
weeds and TO keep the soil moist. A good
mulch, to successfully carry small fruits
through the drouths to which they are liable
Is one of the first factors of successful
small fruit cultivation there; an l by its use,
providing good judgment is used in the
other details, these crops can be almost
surely grown each year.
Any material may be used for mulch that
will protect the soil from the sun. Green
clover is a very valuable mulch, since il
lies close, and by its decay becomes a very
valuable manure. Old straw, swale hay
and bagasse from sorghum works are all
good and are used extensively. once had

DeReneracv OF Strawberries,

Cultlvators usually aim at something diff
ferent from what nature, unaide1 by man,
desires, and hence we cannot always profit
by what nature teaches in the growth of
plants. says Thomas Meeham Ia an ex-
change. Still, we can profit by knowledge.
though we may not always need to apply it
at one. l never knew knowledge 90 hurt
any one. Even those who derlde abstract
knowledge are continually seeking it, and
go to those-for some such information
whom they profess to hold In contempt.
One of these good, inconsistent souls sa i'd
to me recently:
"Can you tell me why tits that the further
we go south the less success we have with
the strawberrys We never see there the
fine, luscious fruit we get in the northern
states; yet the soil is surely as good there as
anywhere. and the cultivator gives them as
much intelligent attention"

Vines OverbearinR.

A distinguished grape grower says that
five pounds the fourth year was as much as
a vine should be allowed to bear, and for
such varieties as the Catawba it should
never be allowed to bear more than ten
pounds at any age. Many persons attempted
TO raise twenty or thirty pounds. Such
crop prevents the wood from maturing, and
1t is injured by the following winter and
bears but little the next year.
