are black, very sweet, and of a slight musky flavour, but 
contain a pulp. Wine of a fair quality has been made from 
this Grape in different sections of the Union; and Mr. Ads 
lum, of the District-of Columbia, has succeeded j in making a 
Wine from it very similar to Burgundy. 
168. Orwigsburg.—This is a native white Grape, sweet, 
with a thin skin, and larger than the AZeunier ; it is very 
hardy, yieids abundantly, and is highly esteemed even by 
connoisseurs. Iam informed by Dr. William E. Hulings, — 
of Philadelphia, (a gentleman distinguished for his philan- 
thropy and for his zcal in introducing to notice such fruits 
28 premise permanent advantage to our country,) that this 
Grepe was discovered about three miles frem the town of 
Sen ganire in Pennsylvania, and by bim named after the 
place of its origin; ripens early in September. 
109. Elsingburg.—For the dissemination of this Grape 
we are also indebted to Dr. Hulings, of Philadelphia, who 
breught it about seven years since from Salem county, New- 
Jersey. The berries are blue, large, and juicy, and it pro- 
mises to be an excellent Wine Grape; the vine is also ex- 
tremely harcy ; ripens early in September. 
114 and 115.—These two varieties of the Grape, rite

mirably, I received from my valued correspondent, Dr. Nor- 
ton, of Richmond, whose acute observation and zeal in bring- 
ing meritorious fruits into notice, promises much benefit to 
our country—to one, which was discovered in Prince Edward 
county, Virginia, he has given the name of Prince Edward 
Grefie—to the other, which is a seedling from Bland’s 
Grape, and for bringing which into notice our country is 
par ticularly indebted to Dr. Norton, I have given the name 
of Worton’s Virginia Seedling. Both kinds are now under 
successful cultivation. 
The great object being to introduce into culti ivatiodyin the 
middle states, those Grapes whose character particularly as- 
similates to the climate, and such as come to maturity not 
Jater than the month of September, I have made it a point 
to import from Germany all the finer varieties of Tabie and 
Wine Grapes which support the winters of that country 
without protection, and have received, besides those named 
in the Catalogue, a number of others, the names of which will 
be published in the next edition. 
Of Grapes suitable for states south of the Potomac, the
