EUROPEAN GRAPES

What gardener would not like to
grow grapes of the type now coming
from California? Yet in spite of the
fact that repeated attempts have been
made to establish the culture OF Eu-
ropean varieties in our Eastern States.
failure has always resulted. Two rea-
sons may be suggested. First, the
length and warmth of the growing
season is not sufficient to bring the
fruits to full maturity except in very
favorable years, and second, the
grapes are very susceptible to a root
insect which readily destroys the vines
unless grated upon native grape
~tocks or roots. In the vicinity OF
Washington European grapes grated
on hardy roots survive from year to
wear and do produce fair crops Of
fruit. At Arlington Farm the Depart
ment of Agriculture maintains quite
a collection Of European varieties,
and some years the fruit produced
compares very favorably with that
grown in California. Here and there
about the city. amateur gardeners are
growing these grapes with consider
able success, where the root is OF ma
tive American stock. But 1t seems
likely that commercial growing of the
European grapes is likely always to
be a hazardous venture. California
climate is so much more favorable and
transportation SO successful that it
seems logical that the industry will
always remain there. But for the
amateur gardener who likes new hob
bieS, the European grape offers
very attractive field.
Most of our so-called American
grapes. the Concord, Delaware,
Niagara, Brighton. Brilliant, undoubt
edly owe their superior quality to a
trace of European parentage. Sew
eral of the Eastern agricultural eX-
pertinent stations are busily engaged
in developing even better .lybrid
varieties. Thus 1t seems that if the
eastern United States cannot grow
the European grape to perfection, it
can do very well with some Of its
descendants.

them from the large Powered China

where the family of hardy asters is
a useful one, but particularly in New
England. where the frosts come too
early to allow chrysanthemums to
mature, and asters are of necessity

chrysanthemums flourish, the asters
are often somewhat neglected. Their
