 Pnrmer, 5'2 North Market street, 



40 Vines, of the true Bland's Virginia Grape, one year 

 price 7.") cents each. This is one of the best native table or 

 wine grapes cultivated ; the bunches large, with shoulders, very 

 thickly set, with berries of a pale red color. It has a thin skin, 

 very little pulp, is very productive, perli-ctly hardy, and 

 passes most of the native grapes that have been exhibited at the 

 Hall of th» llassachusiais Ilorticultural Society, this season. 

 Ml' PuiNCE, in his Treatise on Horticulture, places it among 

 the first native varieties, and says, " a person has but once to 

 taste this grape, to form his decision on this point." It may be 

 well to say that there is some confusion, in some nurseries, with 

 regard to this grape, there being two sorts cultivated under 



ry large Winter Squash, accompanied by the fol- I 'tn^Z'!TfLT "I "''l''','' '!i '"''^ ""'iff«'-="l: Tl'^e can
