EDITOR'S TABLE. 



on the Culture of the Grape in Florida, by Hon. A. G. Semmes ; a chapter from Dr. Uxdee- 

 niLL, on the Vineyard Culture of the Isabella ; and notices of some new varieties of Grapes, 

 the most important of which are some hybrids produced by Mr. Amos "W. Stetsox, of East 

 Braintree, Mass., and our cori'cspondent, Dr. W. W. Valk, of Flushing, L. I. We observe, 

 too, that some alterations are made in the special lists of varieties, and especially that for a 

 retarding house. This difference wUl be seen by comparing the following lists :

Tm? Cold Grapeet : From direct American Practice. Being a Concise and Direct Treatise on tlie Cultivation of 

 the ExoUc Grape Vine under Glass, without Artificial Heat. By AVilliam Choeltom, Gardener to J. C. Geeex, 

 Esq., Staten Island, N. T. 



In another place we notice the issue of a new edition of All en'' s Treatise on the Grape 

 and here we have another touching the same subject. Mr. Croelton's, however, differs 

 from Mr. Allen's in this, that instead of treating of Grape Culture in general, it is devoted 

 exclusively to the Cold Graj^ery. He makes this a " specialitj"," and what he has written 

 is based upon his own very successful practice. The whole subject — construction of houses, 

 preparation of borders, planting, selection of varieties, pruning, training, &c. — is treated in 

 a plain, simple manner, giving a great amount of information at a small expense both of 

 money and reading. We commend the perusal of this treatise to all who desire informa- 

 tion on this subject.

Enstotrs to Corrtsponlitrtlj?. 



(0. A., Paris, 0. W.) We think the Osage Orange will be hardy enough for you, and if 

 80, we would recommend it. Next to it the Buckthorn, whose chief defect is the want of a 

 sufficient number of thorns. The native varieties of the Hawthorn that grow in your 

 woods, will also make a good hedge if well managed.
