BOTTLED GRAPES.

Vine growers in France market fresh outdoor
grapes all winter by and curious method.
Bunches of grapes when ripe are cut so that
piece OF the vine five or six inches long remains
attached. a large number Of wide necbed bot
ties allied with water placed In horizontal
rows in racks in a cellar, and the stem OF the
grapes is placed in the mouth Of the bottle.
while the grapes hang outside. The grapes do
not touch the water, but supplied with water
through the stem. The low uniform tempera-
ture of the cellar is favorable to the preserva-
tion of the fruit, and water is supplied daily TO
the bottles to make up for the evaporation.
Such grapes are expensive, but plenty Of people
are glad to pay high price for them.-Country
