We notice that Mr. Augur, in "Grape Notes" on (page 336, June issue) omits the Lady Washington. The behavior and merits of this variety have determined us to grow in the vineyard most emphatic success, it is a heavy, persistent bearer, a strong grower, and it has good foliage, which is very essential in this changeable climate. Although its blood is one quarter foreign it has no weakness in the vine, and the fruit is the better for it. It ripens with the Elvira, about one week later than the Concord. The bunches are large and well shouldered ; the berries are persistent, medium in size, and when properly ripened, of a rich yellow color, like that of a good quality of honey. The skin is not tough but of such texture as prevents evaporation, hence I find the grape a good keeper. I laid some bunches in an open dish in my cellar and they kept better than the Niagara, being in good condition until Nov. 1st. They were picked Sept. 20th. I consider the flavor of this grape exquisite, and the consistency of the pulp is just right.

We are more favorably impressed with this variety than with any other we are testing. - W. M. Bomberger, Harlan, la.
