Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 972. The third muvcment. for such distinct customs is due to the demands of the markets to which the Grapes are shipped, t^hipments of the Keuka section go to the Atlantic cities, and those from Chautauqua go to the west. In the Lake Keuka district of western New York there are a number of wine cellars invohing large capital, two or three of which make excellent champagne. This industry began at Hammondsport in the sixties, and several varieties of Grapes were planted solely for wine purposes, but the quality of the fruit was not good for table use. In the Chautauqua district the wine in- dustry has received little attention compared to that given in the Keuka district. There has been no oppor- tunity for the blending of several juices, for tlie reason that the Concord is so nearly the universal variety planted. But another industry —that of bottling Grape juice as it comes from the press —has lately been estab- lished, and promises considerable development. The methods of marketing Grapes are of great variety.

This association was incorporated and otlicered by its own members, and represented over three-fourths of the pro- duction of that district. The plan Avas to maintain prices more evenly and to secure a better equalization of sup- ply and of markets. This association was abandoned after two years' trial. The failure was not due to exces- sive cost in selling nor want of integrity of the ol^cers. but to inability "to pull togetlier,"'and a desire of each producer to be independent, lnqdng to do a little bet
