Description by committee appointed by^Alton (111.) Horticultural Society to examine this new acquisition: Alton Horticultural Society. Report of Committee. Mr. President: Your committee appointed to \'isit the \'ineyard and examine the new grape shown by H. G. McPike at our last two meetings and named "McPike," respectfully report that on Thursday, September 5th, the vineyard was visited and we were shown the vines, some of them yet loaded with fruit. We found the qua- lity to be better than Concord or even the Worden, some of the committee going so far as to place it alongside of the Wilder or the Goethe in qualit5% while its enormous size at once attracts attention. We found, by measure- ment some berries to be 3% inches in circumference We were especially interested in our examination of the vines and foliage. The original vdne, a seedling of the Worden, planted by Mr. McPike, is now seven years old. We confidently recommend this new grape as a valuable addition to our short list of grapes worthy of cultivation. We congratulate Mr. McPike, our veteran grape grower, on the success that has crowned his efforts after more than thirty years of persistent labor to produce a vine healthier than the Concord and of far better quality. A prize winner wherever shown; never failed to win first premium at any county or state fair where ex- hibited. None genuine unless metal seal ts attached to each vine Price. 75c. each; per dozen. ;;:;;;;:^CAnPrtELL'S EARLY. (Black.)
