>Fhe foreign Grapes iucluded in the fol!owing assortment, are reared from 

 ^plants imported direct from the most celebrated collections in France^ 

 Germany, and the Crimea, many of which contain from four to five hun- 

 <lred varieties, and descriptions of nearly all of them will be found in the 

 most celebrated works on the culture of the Vine — such as Chaptal, Bon 

 Jardinier,Duhammel,Speechley, Forsyth, &c. — and also in the Treatise 

 attached to this Catalogue. Many of them will be found to difte'- essen- 

 tially from fruits cultivated under similar names in some parts of the 

 United States, as rn many instances the possessors of Grapes of doubtful 

 origin have attached to'them the names of old established fruits. This 

 practice, so common in our country, and so calculated to disseminate 

 error, cannot be too greatly deprecated. I have also to ^acknowledge the 

 recent reception of some valuable German Grapes fi-om that distinguished 

 philanthropist, Col. George Gibbs, of Sunswick, Long-Island, which w ere 

 received by him direct from the Government Botanic Garden of Austria, 

 and which are inserted in this catalogue — So confident has the proprietor 

 ever been of the success which would attend the cultui'e of the ^'i«e in 

 .this country, and of the utter inconsistency of the fallacious ideas which 

 have been advanced to the contrary, that he has extended his collection 

 of Vines by importations of the choicest hinds from every cHme ; and as 

 he liHS, during the present season, had near 100 kinds to produce fruit 

 equal to that of France, nearly all of which ripened in August, he con- 

 siders these doubts as entirely set at rest. — Specimen Vines^ of every 

 kind, have* been planted out for beaiing, and persons desirous of seeing 

 tlie fruit, CHii view them at the season of ripening. — Such persons as de- 

 sire a selection of varieties most suitable to their particular localities, cau 

 have the selection made by the proprietor.
