1 88 Notes and Gleanings. 



Prices of New Vixes. — In looking over the advertisements in our English 

 exchanges, we find that the Madreslield Court Black Muscat Grape is offered 

 for sale at il. is. and 3/. 3^-. for single vines, and the Golden Champion Grape at 

 i\s., 42i'., and 63-r. per single vine. Three pounds and three shillings is just 

 now not far from twenty-two dallars in American currency, — rather a high price, 

 we should think, to pay for a single vine of any variety, however new and choice. 



The above was written before we had looked over the August number of " The 

 Florist and Pomologist," where f.ve different correspondents give instances of 

 the appearance of aerial roots on vines under glass ; in some cases, in great 

 abundance. That their appearance is evidence of a weak constitution, as some 

 of these writers allege, we cannot believe ; but we consider their production to 

 be rather a token of over-luxuriant growth.
