Tiie Concord, Worden, Dela- ware, and grapes of similar character, are easily raised in the many good locations along the lake shores and the river bluffs, and this is an important industry not- withstanding the fact that they have to be covered in win- ter, which adds somewhat to the expense of culture. However, on account of the peculiar adaptability of the Delaware grape to some of our soils and to the climate, it is raised with profit in competition with the growers of the eastern states, though the Concord is not high enough in price by one cent a pound to permit of this to any great extent. Apples are raised on a commercial scale in southern and eastern Minnesota, the high, rolling laud in the southeastern portion being especially well adapted to their cultivation. The varieties of the eastern and cen- tral states generally prove a failure here. The Duchess of Oldenburg is the standard of hardiness in apples, and can be grown successfully in good locations as far north as St. Paul, and in a small way 100 miles further north. The Talmau Sweet is raised to some extent, but is liable to suffer in severe winters. The Minnesota seedling apple known as the Wealthy is generally the most prof- itable kind grown. (See ffiVZcoH, p. 642.) Much inter- est centers around the introduction of varieties of ap- ples of unusual hardiness, and a few of the Russian sorts are proving very satisfactory.
