JOHN ANDREW HENDERSON and Co., hav* 



•' the pleasure of informing their patrons and fritnda that 

 they are now sending out tnis ?ery excellent new Grape at 

 2 Is. each. 



Its distinguishing characteristics are as follows -The foliage 

 in more deeply serrated, and the wood shorter jointed than the 

 Black Hamburgh ; the berries are oval and ra her elongated. 

 and are remarkable for a very fine bloo o. not unlike that of 

 an Orican I\um ; when fully ripe are of a tine deep black having 

 a fine rich flavour, and very Juicy. 



It colours full te i days earlier than the Black Hamburgh; 

 being a EBOSl abundant bearer, and good setter, will prove a 

 most desirable kind for pot-cu'tura, One very remarkable 

 property this Grape possesses, which much enhances its value, 

 and makes it so superior to the Black Hamburgh is, that it 

 never produces abortive, or, as they are termed, vineKar berries ; 



after careful observation, eaten img over three successive sea-
