Wild Fruits Of Virginia.

Among the many natural blessings Of
Virginia her wild fruits are not to- be
ignored. In the early summer the plunsi
come and they are simply delicious They
are also rich In color, some being pink and
others purple and others yellow. When
washed and put in a glass dish they make
n collection of rare beauty They are
iuicy and sweet, and IL eaten in modera-
ton when ripe they are harmless.
Later on come the wild cherries, which
are small. but when thoroughly ripe al, are
Of good flavor. 8} 555}E
Tho honeysuckle bushes produce what the
boys call honeysuckle apples and While
they are insipid in taste. country lads
are very fond of them. and they may be
classed amons the wild fruits.
In wild berries Dame Nature has been
especially good to Virginia First Of all
come tho dewberries, which grow on rum
ming vines close to the ground. The dew
berry is perhaps the sweetest Of all our
wild berries and when full and ripe Is
not surpassed by any In flavor Scarcely
are tile dewberries gone before the black
berries come IN great profusion., They
grow everywhere and may be had for
the gathering. They make delicious
after-dinner dessert and first-rate ar
ticlc OF vine is manufactured from them.
Besides blackberries. strawberries grow
wild in some sections. and raspberries
arc not infrequently found on the road
side. One Of the roads leading out Of
Richmond is lined for considerable dis
TANGO with wild strawberry vines The
wild strawberry is smaller and more acid
than the cultivated variety, but 1t is
very firm and entirely palatable
Before tho blackberries are gone the
| early crop of f'uckleberries comes on and
tho crop lasts practically throughout the
summer The huckleberry bushes are Of
various sizes, some assuming the proper
ton of small trees and others never nt-
tanning any considerable size. Tho size
OF the berries also varies according to tbs
hush on which they grow, but large OF
small, the huckleberres are dainty and
delicious, whether they be eaten raw or
worked up into pies.
Mention should also be made of the
mulberry which Is at least favorite
with boys and birds, although 1t Is rather
low variety of fruit. 80
When tho berry crop is gone the wild
grapes come on, and they are good. The
woods grape, known in some sections as
tho fox grape. abounds in various Sec
lions of Virginia. 1t grows in clusters,
the individual grapes being about the
size of buck shot. After the frost
strikes them they are very good to the
taste and may be eaten from the bunch
like corn from the cob-pulp, seeds, skin
and all. The juice from these grapes
makes a good article Of wine. In the
eastern section of the State the mus
cadine grows In abundance. This grape
is akin to the famous scuppernong, hay
ing the same flavor, but Is Of q rich pur-
Die color, while the scuppernong Is white.
No grape is more beautiful in. appearance
than tho muscadine, and when It Is thor
oughly ripe it is scarcely excelled by the
souppernong.
But we are talking too much. When one
begins to talk of tho good things of the
Old Dominion, it is hard to know where
to stop.
