FRUIT CULTURE. 



THE NATIVE GRAPE has latterly engrossed a large share of atten- 

 tion, and a greater impulse has been given to its culture by the valua- 

 ble accessions which we yearly receive. Those old standard varieties, 

 the Catawba and Isabella, are now mainly superseded by others that 

 ripen earlier, and thus escape the fall frosts, which in many localities 

 injure the crop, more especially the Catawba. The newer varieties are 

 aiso more generally exempt from mildew, although there are possibly 

 none that are entirely proof against its attacks at particular seasons. 

 In flavor and quality of fruit the improvements are more marked, and 

 in the Delaware and Rebecca we have a near approach, in this respect, 

 to some of the famed foreign varieties. The following are considered 

 the hardiest and best. Price from 50 cents to $1.00 each, according to 

 size, except new varieties, at prices noted: 



Adirondac, black, new, $2.00. Hartford Prolific, black. 



Catawba, red. Iona, amber, $2.00. 



Concord, black. Israella, black, $2.00. 



Creveling, purple. Isabella, black. 



Delaware, red. Maxatawney, white. 



Diana, red. Rebecca, white. 



THE STRAWBERRY. 



The circumstances of soil and climate greatly influence the varieties 

 of this fruit, both in its productiveness and quality; hence, the wide 

 difference of opinion upon their respective merits. Fortunately there 

 are varieties enough to suit all soils and tastes, and each cultivator can, 

 by careful experiment, discover which of the most popular varieties are 

 suited to his ch'cumstances. Among the most recent introductions is the
