Catawba Grape Vines. 



THE GENUINE SORT. 



For sale at the New England Seed Store, No. 52 North 

 Market-street— 



50 Vines of the true Catawba Grape, onn year old, 

 price 75 cts. each. This is one of the best native, table' 

 or wine Grapes cultivated ; the bunches large' with 

 shoulders, very thickly set, with large berries of a pale 

 red or lilac color, and in some situations covered with a 

 beautiful bloom, giving them a blueish purple appearance 

 They have a slight musky t,aste, and delicate flavor 

 They have a thin skin, very little pulp, are perfectly har- 

 dy, and surpass most of the native grapes that have been 

 exhibited atlhe Hall of the Massachusetts Horticultural 

 Society, the two past seasons. The pulp diminishes and 

 almost disappears when they are left on the vine till they 

 attain to perfect maturity. The vines are great bearers : 

 one vine in Mrs Schell's garden, in Clarksburg, Mary- 

 land, has produced eight bushels of grapes in one season 

 —and eleven younger vines in the garden of Joshua John- 

 son, Esf]. of the same State, have produced in one season 

 thirty bushels of fruit. A particular history sind descrip- 

 tion of this fine grape will be found in Prince's new 

 Treatise on the Vine, just published. There can be no 

 mistake with regard to the identity of the above vines, as 



Grape Vines. 

 The Subscriber offers for sale at his Garden, the follow- 

 ing Grape Vines.
