Mr. Ellwanger thought it did not make much difference; but no grape vine should be placed in a wet soil at any season.

Mr. Ainsworth thought that if the land be well .subsoiled and undermined, Autumn was the best time.

Mr. Thomas asked the Society which grape would sell best; the Delaware, which is excellent in quality (in fact cannot be surpassed in flavor) but is small, or the Isabella, which is simply good in quality, but is larger.

Mr. Salter, of Rochester, answered that the great desideratum here was to have a grape that ripened early and surely. "A grape that ripens on the first of September, that is the grape that will sell." Attention is now being paid by the fruit growers to grapes, and we must have those that are early as well as good. " Some gentlemen have to-day mentioned cases where the Isabella ran into the foliage of trees, and, clinging to the southern and leeward sides of the tree, ripened its fruit earlier than on the trellises beneath. In this case, the earliness is owing to the shelter of the tree foliage; but under ordinary circumstances, the Isabella, four seasons in five, wont ripen. On my grounds, the Catawba, in a dry, warm situation, is already quite ripe, while twenty-five feet off there is not one Catawba on the vine ripe".

Mr. Salter did not think the size made any difference as to selling, provided the fruit was ripe.

Mr. Barry: very desirable to have a grape that will surely ripen. The Delaware is one of the greatest acquisitions in the grape way for amateur cultivation; will ripen where Isabella wont ripen at all; differed from Mr. Salter as to the kind that would sell. People when they buy a market grape want size. Pity that the public taste is not more refined; but we must take things as they are. A market grape should be black and large.

The Catawba is not a safe grape to plant in this county. The cultivation of the vine is a subject of the greatest importance, and the instances told here this day are sufficient to turn the attention of hundreds, yes of thousands of farmers in western New York, to the culture of the vine. Thousands of acres near us are more fit for the raising of the grape than for wheat. One of the objects of this Fruit Growers' Society, is to turn the attention of farmers and others to fruit culture.

The impetus given to grape culture by the introduction of dozens of new varieties, has been very great and no doubt will be felt very extensively. Will do great good.

Mr. Picard said that he produced from one vine last year one and a half barrels of wine, has in three years from one vine propagated 1000 vines. Anybody can raise all the vines he wants to, if he only gets a start.

In the show of fruits the display of grapes was unusually fine, especially of the early varieties Delaware, Diana, Concord, and Rebecca. Mr. Brocksbank, of Hudson, among a large assortment, exhibited Isabellas measuring three inches in circumference; also Concords as large as Isabellas usually are, and fully ripe, and very fine Hyde's Eliza.

Messrs. Bissell & Salter, of Rochester, exhibited some very fine Delawares, Dianas, and Logans.

Pears, Apples, and Peaches, were also shown of magnificent proportions, and in some respects it was the finest exhibition the society has ever had in September.

The Annual Meeting will as usual be held in the winter at Rochester. The officers are HON. HENRY P. NORTON, of Brockport, President. MR. C. P. BISSELL, of Rochester, Secretary. MR. W. P. TOWNSEND, of Lockport, Treasurer.
