SeedIess Grapes.

What's become of the "coreless' ap-
pie? Twenty years ago it was an
nounced as a discovery or a develop
ment calculated to revolutionize the
orchard industry. OF late we hear
less about it. A little later the "thorn-
less" blackberry appeared on the hori-
zon. 1t certainly was thornless, but
somehow it failed to drive the fero-
ciously armed brambles of the berry
gardens into the desert. 1t is still
produced, but the older kinds are yet
much more common. Now the "seed-
less" grape bids for favor. Such a
fruit would surely meet a long felt
want" If the quality and favor Of
the few thus far grown can be per-
petuated and it proves remuneratively
productive and capable of standing
up for shipment there is big future
before it.-Country Life In America.
