CLASS I—VARIETIES WHICH WH CAN RECOMMEND. 
CLINTON.—Bunches small and very compact, berries small black, sprightly, keeps well, 
one of the most free, rapid growers and profuse bearers; ripens two to four weeks 
earlier than the Isabella. 25 to 50 cts. each. 
CATAWBA.—Well known as the great wine grape of Ohio, Kentucky, d&e.; bunches 
large and loose, berries large, of a coppery red color, becoming purplish when well 
ripened; two weeks later than Isabella, and a month later than Clinton; requires the 
most favored soils and situation, good culture and warm seasons to mature perfectly 
in Western New York. 25 to 50 cts. each. 
CONCORD.—A very large, handsome, black grape, ripening a week or two earlier than the 
Isabella; promises to succeed well over a great extent of country. 50 cts. to $1 each. 
DELAW ARE.—No fruit that has been introduced to this country during the last twenty 
years, has awakened so much interest among cultivators as this Grape. Conflicting 
opinions are held respecting its origin; some holding that it is of foreign origin, im- 
ported from Switzerland, and others that it is a native. Be this as it may, it isa 
most important acquisition. The vine is comparatively slender, but grows freely. 
Small vines the second year after planting have made two shoots each, (12 feet high,) 
and well ripened to the top, with ordinary culture on our grounds. It proves quite 
hardy in this climate, and ripens two to three weeks before the Isabella. Bunch 
small and compact; berries small, clear red, beautiful. Sweet, sugary and vinous, 
with a musky aroma; equal to the finest foreign varieties. It justly claims the best 
place in every garden. $2,00 each. See plate on the 41st page. 
DIANA.—About same size and color of Catawba, a beautiful and delicious grape, hardy, 
and ripens ten to twelve days before the Isabella; the most valuable of all recent vari- 
eties of native grapes. 50 cts. to $1,00 each. 
HARTFORD PROLIFIC.—A hardy, profuse bearing, and tolerably good black grape, 
ripening so early as to suit the climate of New England, and valuable on this account. 
50 cents to $1,00 each. 
ISABELLA.—Bunches long, large, loose; berries large, oval, black, juicy, sweet and musky. 
A vigorous grower, hardy and immense bearer. The most popular of all our native va- 
rieties, as it ripens well in nearly all sections. 25 to 50 cts. each, 
NORTHERN MUSCADINE.—-This is a large, reddish Fox grape, of inferior quality, but 
is sweet, and seems to please many people. It is hardy and productive. 50 cts, each. 
REBECCA.—A fine and delicious white grape, berry and bunch medium size; vine a free 
grower, but slender; quite hardy, ripens about same time as Diana; recommended 
particularly for careful garden culture. 50 cents to $1,00 each.
