Any line of business that will real

J. C. Clipp, has, in years past, ralscd
geese, and knows from actual experi

them. The reason why this part of
the poultry industry is neglected
throughout the United States must

Origin of CTonccrd Grape,
development of the Concord
in this country was due to the
phraim Wales Bull, who
lived at Concord, Mass, with his fam
ily in the year 1836 Bull purchased
a seventeen-acre farm and
to settle on it There was a native
vine, named vitis labrusca, growing
in one corner of his farm, which he
watched carefully He continued
planting seed each year from his
new vine until the original wild habit
was completely broken up, and from
the original stock, as black as night,
grapes were obtained, delicate of tex
ture and of the most agreeable flavor
During all these years Mr. Bull had
kept up his business of gold-beating in
a small shop near his cottage. In
the summer of 1853, having worked
un a large stock of vines, he placed
the whole in the hands of a firm
which advertised it extensively. In
1851 the vines were sold for $5 each
and for $40 a dozen to the trade.
Mr. pull was awarded a silver medal
in 18566 for the Concord grape by the
Massachusetts Horticultural Society
