upon doing business with four million

elapsed and they have only buried some
twenty-one thousand odd. The differ

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1893-11-08

The Charleston News aud Courier OF
Wednesday says: The winter travel
from the North to Florida via the Clyde
Steamship Company's line has been re-
sumed in dead earnest. Every steamer
from New York for the last week or ten
days has been loaded to her water-line
with passengers. When the steamer left
here yesterday morning, she not only
had every berth on her sold, but mat
tresses we're laid for thirty-five people
who were unable to obtain state-rOoms
About four fifths of the passenger traffic
which the line is doing out of New York is
bound for Jacksonville and other Florida
points, the remainder being for this city.
IT. is not improbable that portion OF
the enormous business doing by the
company this season is attributed to the
suspension of the Brunswick line on &C.
count of the epidemic prevailing in that
city.

The Scuppernong Grape.

r AAO 0OuPP0AAVuS VA"PC'
In addition to the information fur
niShed by Mr., Price, of Clayton, Ala,
that the SCuppernong was discovered in
North Carolina, on creek by that name,
and that the first vine brought to this
section was brought here by Mr.. Bow
ers, living some twelve miles from Macon
on the Perry road will add some facts,
by good authority.
Mr.. P. J. Berckmans, in the transact
Ions of the Richmond County Agricul-
tural Clubs, 1867, says it is indigenous
to the South. In a valuable work by
DIR. Porcher, of Charleston, S. c., emit
tied the Resources of the South" he
says it is Classed as the "vitis cOrdfo-
lia," and is a native of the South, and
it's yields are immense. One vine is re-
ported as yielding sixty barrels of wine
in a single season. In consulting Prof
Darby's botany, one of the best works
of the kind on botany of the South, | am
surprised not to see the ScuppGrnong
mentioned.
His germs and that of DR.. Porcher
differ in the "bish's cordifolia," Prof
Darby classed ''winter grape" "frult
grape" while under the germs Wits ro-
tundifolia is classed the "Muscadine Bull
grape, "Fox grape"
From a treatise on the culture of the
Scuppernong, wine making from same,
by J. Van Buren,, of GAINESVILLE, Ga, a
man we'll posted on such matters, once a
man of note as horticulturist, l gath
cred the following facts: "It is native
of the South, first found wild in North
Carolina, and grew wild from North Car
DINA to Florida. 1t is too tender for
successful cultivation north of the Poto
mac. Whenever the mercury falls to
zero it is killed to the ground, The vine
is vigorous germ, and the most long
lived of any of the grape family, and,
singularly exempt from disease, mil
dew or rot and the attack of insects"
It's productiveness is almost incredible
Six-year-old vines often yield three bush
els OF grapes, vines ten years old nave
been known to yield thirty to fifty bush
els per vine; a large vine, near Mobile,
said to be 100 years old, has been said to
produce 200 bushels in season. Other
well authenticated cases Of extraordinary
yield are reported.
1t is said that Longworth, the famous
wine maker of Cincinnati, was accus-
toned to getting the expressed juice of
the Scuppernongs from Pamlico and AL
bemarle Counties, N. c., to impart favor
to his wines. The longest vine have
ever seen, was on DR.. |. ID. r. Rice's
place, near Marshallville, Ga. [ think
he said it covered half an acre, and he
made several barrels of wine from it
