VII— FOREIGN GRAPES. 



The catalogue of the American Pomological Society contains 

 thirty-three varieties of foreign grapes, nearl}^ all of which, with 

 many others, are grown in this State ; and being cultivated exclu- 

 sivel}^ under glass they are exempt from the variations induced by 

 climate and soil, and therefore equally adapted to all localities. 

 The description embraces color, flavor, season, and the character of 

 the vinery — whether hot or cold — in which they may be grown. It 

 is not perceived that the insertion of such a list will be of material 

 service to cultivators of this class of grapes, the information which 

 it would contain being within their reach in other forms ; hence it 

 is omitted.
