NEW FRUITS. 47 



identify them. We have now another source from which 

 confusion is to be multiplied many-fold, and that is in 

 sending out the Salem, which was formerly distributed as 

 No. 22. Salem was selling the past season for $10 per 

 vine, while good vines of 22 could be had for a dollar, 

 and both are the same variety. It may be said (and in 

 fact it has been), that few possessed the genuine No. 22, 

 and this may be true ; but every one who has purchased a 

 vine under that dumber will be very likely to think that 

 he has the genuine, whether it is true or not. Many of us 

 purchased our first samples of Mr. Rogers or Col. Wilder 

 six or seven years ago, and have full as much confidence 

 in our stock as we would have in that of others. 



We have heard that it is proposed to name No. 4, Col. 

 Wilder. If this is done, it will be bestowing great honor 

 upon the grape. Nurserymen should take warning, and 

 be ready with a large stock. 



These Hybrids, upon the whole, are growing in favor, 

 and it is a pity that a few of the best could not be selected 

 by a competent committee and the others laid aside. 

 Progress is retarded in this instance by numbers. 



VaiiderhurgJi. — A new and promising variety from 

 Lansingburg, N. Y., not yet sent out. 



Weehawken. — We had an oj^portunity of examining 

 the original vine of this variety when in fruit the past 

 season. Bunch, medium, shouldered, compact; berry, 

 medium, round, greenish white; flesh, firm, sweet, and 

 delicious. It is a seedling of a foreign variety, and suc- 

 ceeds well in the garden of the originator, Dr. Charles 

 Siedhof, Weehawken, N. J.
