 its hardiness.]

 Underbill of Croton Point, N.Y., for the Croton, as the best new white grape, and

The new grapes at this exiiibition attracted much attention, especially the 

 two very promising seedlings, Croton and Senasqua, presented by Mr. Under- 

 bill of New York. If the Croton vine proves sufficiently hardy and productive, 

 it is the best of all American white grapes, and supplies a long-felt desideratum. 



The Eumelan, by Hasbrouck & Bushnell (successors to Dr. Grant), was pre- 

 sented here for the first time, and in better condition than before seen in Ohio. 

 It was pronounced the best new black grape.
