It measured twelve inches in circumference. The variety was the Orange. Quinces have colored unusually well this season, and are free from scab. The last were harvested at Maplehurst October 15th. We usually market the quince in the twelve-quart basket; because purchasers usually want only small quantities. The market needs cultivating for this fruit, because in many places people seem scarcely to know what use to make of it. Quince preserves, marmalade, jelly, pickles, also quinces canned or baked, are all rich delicacies. A peculiar bunch of grapes was shown us by Major Allan, Grimsby. There seemed to be two distinct varieties in the same bunch, one the Niagara, the other the Lindley—white and red grapes with distinct flavor. Only one branch of the vine produced this peculiarity. Our experimental vineyard of eighty varieties, at Maplehurst, is a great attraction. Of the white grapes Victoria, one of Miner's seedlings, is one of the most showy, it might be called a white Concord; El Dorado is of remarkably good quality, and very fine; Pocklington, well ripened, at this season is very fine, much superior in quality to Niagara. This last is a wonderful grower, and producer of immense clusters. The pulp separates easily from the seeds, and the abundant juice is very refreshing and pleasant when well ripened ; but let the eater be careful not to eat Salem, or Lindley just before he begins with Niagara, or he will vote the latter insipid.
