(Ad. Int. Rep.) 



Canadian Chief. 



From Canada, and claimed to be a native, but so strongly marked with 

 foreign characteristics that w"e think it will not prove to be an acquisition 

 for general cultivation. 



Bunches, very large and shouldered, and the vine very productive, and

 covered with bloom ; flesh, tender, juicy, not pulpy, or but very little,

Child's Seedling. 

 A very large, fine grape^ grown in Utica, N. Y., by Mr. Childs. It is 

 doubtless of foreign origin, but has succeeded with him without glass, 

 although latterly grown under it. We presume its foreign characteristics 

 ■will not fit it for open culture. (Downing.)

tinged with salmon when exposed to the sun ; flesh, tender, juicy ; flavor,
