dense blue bloom, with a very tbin skin, very tender and juicy, with bardly any pulp ; 

 and a fine aromatic taste, instead of the musky flavor of the Isabella, and is certainly 

 superior to that variety in quality, while it is fully equal to it in vigor of growth and 

 abundant bearing. Wine has been made of this Grape, of excellent quality, having a 

 delicate aroma, and an agreeable fruity taste. 



The want of a Grape which shall be early, hardy and prolific, while it is good for 

 the table and wine, has long been felt in this northern part of our country ; and I 

 believe this Grape of Mr. Bull's will meet that want, and as it is as easy of culture 

 as it is hardy, will come within the views of all who wish to cultivate the Grape. 



[If the Concord should really prove, on further and more extended trial, to be not 

 only very much earlier than the Isabella, but quite superior in quality, it will be a 

 great acquisition ; but it strikes us as somewhat remarkable that it is free from the 

 foxy perfume of our native Grapes. — Ed.]

Synonyms. — As I desire to correct errors in the nomenclature of fruits, whenever in 

 my power, I send you a few extracts taken from my memoranda of 1853, on Pears. 



Triomphe de Hasselt is the Grosse Calebasse of Langelier, the Van Marum of 

 BivoRT, and probably the old French Grosse Calebasse of Noisette. A monstrous 

 russet fruit. Flesh — coarse. Flavor — inferior. Decaying soon at the core. Ripens 

 in September. 



Kartofel, or Cartofel, proves to be Cohnar d'' Ar ember g. 



Beurre Van Mons, or B. de Mons of Langelier, is synonymous with the old Fon- 

 dante Van Mons. 



Blanc perne of Langelier, is Leon le Clerc de Haval. Sometimes a dessert Pear, 

 on dry, rich, calcareous soils ; but scarcely fit for the table. 



Seigneur d''Esperen is synonymous with Bergamotte Fieve, Belle Lucrative, and 

 Fondante d^Automne. The former is the original and true name, the Seigneur hav- 

 ing been raised by Major Esperen, of Malines, about forty years since, and promulga- 

 ted some years afterwards in France under the false name of Doyenne d^Automne. 



Van Assche and Vanaesse, as stated in your article in the February number, 1853, 

 proves to be Van Assene, raised by M. Bouvier about thirty years since, and of which 

 I have an original plate. By a curious error it received the latter name through 

 scions sent to this country ; namely, the transformation of ck in the former to en in 

 the latter — from Van Assc/te to Van Assene. 



Beurre gris d'hiver, of Langelier, is the Beurre gris deliver nouveau, or Beurre du 

 Lucon, of the French and Belgian collections. A Pear which originated in France; 

 there known and sold at a common price long before it was advertised by M. Lange- 

 lier as a new variety.
