now before us in the 3d Edition, we fear our vineries would 

 contain a goodly number of duplicate sorts. 



Several sorts iiave not yet been proved ; these are includ- 

 ed ill the catalogMC, but until some definite information 

 conld be given, it was thought best to leave them without 

 any remark until the issue of another edition of the cata- 

 logue. 



The number of varieties of the grape cultivated in vine- 

 ries in this country is quite limited ; beyond the Black 

 Hamburgh, Frontignan, Muscadine, and four or five others, 

 few varieties are to be found. This, however, should not 

 be; the number of really excellent kinds amounts to more 

 than tiL'cnty-fii'e. and we could wish, if only for the sake of 

 forming a good assortment, that more sorts were cultivated. 

 The grower of grapes for tlie market would of course select 

 a greater portion of the Black Hamburgh: but the amateur, 

 whose purpose is not exclusively profit, should cultivate 

 such an assortment as will give him a variety both in regard 

 to color, flavor and period of maturity. 



Among the sorts which we would recommend for vine- 

 ries, in addition to those generally grown, are the Black 

 Prince, Black Prolific. Chasselas Musque, Black Frontig- 

 nan, Black Lombardy, b^arly White Malvasia, lilack Mus- 

 cat of Alexandria, Canon Hall Muscat, White Rissling, 

 Pitmaston White Cluster, Petersburgh, Charlesworth To- 

 kay, Black Tripoli, Red Traminer, Verdelho, and Scotch 

 White Cluster; these are all first rate fruits.
