The Committee report that their attention has been called to two or three native varieties 

 not heretofore exhibited — among which is that named the Concord Grape, grown under glass 

 by Thomas Fletcher ; but a very choice white grape, called the Rebecca, resembling some- 

 what the flavor of the Chasselas, said to be a seedling from the Isabella; and grown in Hud- 

 son, N. Y., is well entitled, we think, to pre-eminence over all others, and be truly considered 

 a valuable acquisition to our native varieties. 



Your Committee notice with pleasure the increasing interest manifested in the grape cul- 

 ture, from which we are encouraged to hope that many valuable results may be obtained 

 thereby, both in size and quality.
