DELAWARE.— No fruit that has been introduced to this country during the last twenty 

 years, lias awakened so much interest among cultivators as this Grape. Conflicting 

 opinions are held respecting its origin; some holding that it is oi foreign origin, im- 

 ported from Switzerland, and others that it is a native, lie this us it may, it is a 

 most important acquisition. The vino is comparatively slender, but grows freely. 

 Small vines the second year after planting have made two shoots each, ( 1 2 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 ami 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.
