AS there are several vineyards to
visit on this tour. it will be very
necessary that the crowd moves
along as near the schedule time as
possible. This list of vineyards was
arranged with view to giving the
growers an opportunity to see as
many representative vineyards as
time will permit during the day, and
it was not the intention of those
who planned this tour that very
much time would be devoted to any
particular vineyard except in those
where some special demonstrations
Or experiments in spraying and
are being conducted.
One of the most enjoyable features
in connection with the grape tour
each year is the splendid dinner
which is served by the ladies of the
Capital Grange in the Grange Hall
in Dover, and those who attend the
tour this year will be given another
opportunity to partake of this fine
dinner for which a very nominal ;
charge will be made.
