—FOREIGN GRAPES 



The catalogue of the American Pomological Society contains 

 thirty-three varieties of foreign grapes, nearly all of whidi, with 

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

 sively under glass they are exempt from the variations induced by 

 climate or 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 are 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.
