Albany NelCs and Advertiser: After
three years of hard trial in the cultivation
OF the sweet grape J. NJ. Tiff is now reap
ing rich rewards from his heavily burdened
vines. The hanging gardens of Poulan find
IN the Sand Hills worthy competitor, and
the glory that hovers over the little spot In
Worth has but a part of its shadow to
Dougherty. And this shadow dispenses a
blessing. j. M. Tiff, who has turned his
attention TO fruit and grape culture, now
finds himself very busy man. Satur-
day morning while he stood in
front Of the Southern Express Com
pany's office the large delivery wagon backed
up TO the sidewalk TO take on a load OF his
sweet grapes. Mr.. Tiff stood there among
the baskets that almost blocked the sides
walk, and as the agent Of the express COM
pany piled the baskets into the wagon the
driver at the other end was soon "out of
sight" 80 bulky was the load. Mr.. Tiff
shipped over 1000 pounds Saturday morn
ing, and his crop being in the neighborhood
Of $1,000 pounds he will be kept busy some
time TO come in dispensing this sweet fruit.
In reply 20 q question from repor-
ter of the NetOS and Advertiser he said:
q" have shipped quite quantity of grapes
this season, the first / have shipped for
market since my vineyards began bearing.
The returns have been good, remarkably
good, and I tell you 10 beats watermelons
all hsllow. l ship all over the country and
the demand for grapes at good prices is in
striking contrast TO the watermelon grower
who finds in many instances that he has to
pay the freight on his shipments. With
grapes a man eau make three times as
much money on the same ground and be at
much less expense
