Conclusion. I have now completed my remarks as far as 

 the limits of the present work would authorize, and which 

 in fact have been extended much beyond what was at first 

 anticipated. That some inadvertent errors may have 

 escaped the author's notice is very probable ; and if apprized 

 of them, they will be corrected in a subsequent publication, 

 and he will receive with pleasure any new light which may be 

 thrown on the subjects herein discussed- At present he is 

 only apprized of the following : At page 56, the Warren- 

 ton Grafie is stated to be a native ; but the author's personal 

 observations since have convinced him, that it is either an 

 exotic grape, or a seedling from one of that description, and 

 not a genuine native ; and, in regard to the Golden Chasse- 

 /a, and Chasselas de Fontainbleau, recent publications state 

 them to be identically the same as the well known White 

 Muscadine, or Early Sweet Water. I have only to add, that 

 since my statement was printed (at page 7) respecting the 

 " Menagere" Apple, a gentleman on the Rhine has in- 

 formed me, that its wefght is from half a pound to three- 

 quarters, and although it is considered as the largest of their 

 apples, it falls far short of many American varieties. 



To his various friends and correspondents the author ten- 

 ders his warm acknowledgments for the information freely 

 imparted to him when solicited, and also for svich as has 

 been gratuitously tendered to him. Such testimonials of the 

 approbation of his fellow-citizens, and of their estimation of 

 his exertions in behalf of a science, the advancement of which 

 fcas been his favourite pursuit through life, cannot fail to be 

 peculiarly gratifying; and it is with sensations of both plea- 

 sure and pride that he contributes his mite to the general 

 welfare of our happy and prosperous Republic.
