The first carloads of Panariti, the socall ed Greek currant grape, recently de veloped in this country by the depart ment, reached New York from Cali fornia the latter part of July. Last autumn department viticulturists at Washington opened packages of 0 hannez grapes fully three weeks af ter their arrival from California and found them in perfect condition. The Panariti grape until recently was known in this country only as a dried currant, of which 30,000,000 were imported annually from Greece. It is brought into perfect fruitage through a secret method carefully guarded by the Greeks and discovered by department workers very recently. The secret method is to girdle the vines while they are in bloom so as to keep the sap in the tops of the vines. The Pannriti has unusual merit as a table grape, but, due to infamiliarity on the par t of the native American public, shipments to New York were largely purchased by the Greek pop ulation, who bought them eagerly. ------0 CASSINA, OF YAUPON, PLANT YIELDS TEALIKE IEVERAGE An investigation is being made by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, in to the beverage possibilities of a plant which has long beeni used in place of eIa along the coast of' the South At laitie and Gulf States, as far south as the northern pa it of Florida. In Virginia and Noith Carolina this plant is known as "yaulpon.' It grows also in South Carolina, Georgia, northern Florida, Alabama, Louisiana, MTissis sippi, and Texas. In South Carolina it is called the "cassina," or "Christ mas-berry, tree." Not only the tender shoots but all the leaves, it has been found, contain IAIA , 4 (N - ir . -X A\l caffeine, making it possible to elimin ate the laborious hand picking neces sary in gathering tea, of which only eertain leaves can be used. Wild plants are abundant, and in one place a cassina hedge 2 miles long has been found. Duaring the World War it was suggested as a possible native source ia case the imported supply of medi einal caffeine became unavailable. It is known that the Indians in this re :on used the plant both as a bever age and for ceremonial purioses. The Spaniards learned the use of it 'rom the Indians. At the time el the Civil War it Was used again, crudely Wre pared, to take the place of tea and coflee, which the Sotuthern States could not easily get. It is thought by the United States Department of Agriculture that by S E Man ;fV1 A " Man in.k- 1 -Y W44~. proper methods of curing, similar to the methods used in curing green and black teas, a very excellent beverage might be brewed from it. Further in vestigations will be made by the de partment to determine the practical problems incidental to the production of cassina for beverage purposes.
