DEPARTMENT. MAKES POSSIBLE
TABLE GRAPES YEAR ROUND

Table grapes for the year around
the ambition of American horticulture
lists for ycars--is an accomplished
fact with the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture this season The
first carloads of Panariti, the socall-
cd Greek currant grape, recently de-
velopcd in this country by the depart
ment, reached New York from Cali
fornia the latter part of July. Last
autumn department viticulturists at
Washington opened packages of O.
hannez grapes fully three weeks af-
ter their arrival from California and
found them in perfect condition.
The Panariti grape until recently
was known in this country only as Il
dried currant, of which 30,0OO,OOO
were imported annually from Greece.
1t is brought into perfect fruitagc
through a secret method carefully
guarded by the Greeks and discovered
by department workers very recently.
The secret method is to girdlc the
vines while they are in bloom so as to
keep the sap in the cops of the vines.
The Pannriti has unusual merit as a
table grape, but, due to unfamiiarity
on the part Of the native American
public, shipments to New York were
largely purchased by the Greek pop
ulation, who bought them eagerly.

certain leaves can be used. Wild
plants are abundant, and in one place
a cassina hedge 2 miles long has been
found. During the World War it was
suggested as a possible native source
ia case the imported supply of medi-
cinal caffeine became unavailable. 1t
is known that the Indians in this re-
ion used the plant both as bever-
age and for ceremonial purposes. The
Spaniards learned the use Of it from
the Indians. At the time OF the Civil
War it was used again, crudely pre-
pared, to take the place of tea and
coffee, which the Southern States
could not easily get.

the Bureau of Chemistry, United
States Department of Agriculture, in
to the beverage possibilities of Il plant
which has long been used in place Of
tea along the coast OF the South At

as the northern part of Florida. In
Virginia and North Carolina this plant
is known as "yaupon." 1t grows also
in South Carolina, Georgia, northern
Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, Missis-

it is called the "cassina,' or "Christ-
