NATIVE GRAPES. 
The number of new kinds has increased rapidly within a few 
years ; but it is desirable to enumerate only such as are likely to 
prove valuable in New England. Other new kinds can be sup- 
plied, if ordered. Price, 50 cents each, unless noted. Vines in 
bearing, at increased rates. 
Anna — White, resembles the Catawba ; sprightly and fine. Too lato 
for New England. 
Allen's Hybrid — Medium, amber. A sweet and delieious grape, 
raised by J. F. Allen, which appears (o*be hardy, vigorous, early, prolific, 
and in every respect a superior grape. Promises to be the best white 
grape. SI . 
Catawba — Very nnccrtain. 
Clinton — Small, pniple hiack ; hardy, and a great bearer; acid, but in 
mid-winter becomes a good table grape. 
Concord — Large, black, showy; quality good; vigorous and hardy. 
Rather earlier than the Isabella. 
Creveling — A new grape, resembling the Isabella, but nt least a fort- 
night earlier, and of better quality. It appears to be remarkably vigorous. 
Very promising. $1 . 
Cuyahoga — Large, white ; high flavor ; excellent. New, and has not 
been proved tor this climate. Kather late. $2. 
Delaware — Small berry and bunch ; rose color ; sweet, melting, excel- 
lent. With age, the vine is hardy, productive, moderately vigorous, but 
somewhat inclined to mildew. Hardy and very valuable under good culture. 
75 cents. 
Diana — Medium, reddish, vinous, juicv and delicious. Requires high 
culture. 
Hartford — Prolific, large, black ; resembling, but not quite equal to, 
Isabella — being three weeks earlier, and very hardy, vigorous and certain, 
it is indispensable in New England. When over ripe the berries are liable 
to drop, on young vines. It is increasingly popular. 
Isabella — Large, good ; but mildews, and seldom ripens in New 
England. 
liOgan — A seedling of the above ; but earlier, sprightly, and more acid. 
Marion — Large, round ; black, acid : very showy, and keeps through 
winter, when it becomes a good table grape. 
Oporto — Medium, round, black, acid. $1 
Ontario— Very large berries and bunch ; juicy, sub-acid, with little 
palp, very showy, but not proved for this climate. Closely resembles Union 
Village, and may prove to be the same. $2. 
Perkins— Medium, reddish. Hardy and productive, but of second 
quality, and drops its berries. 
Rebecca — Medium, amber, delicious musky aroma. Of the highest 
excellence, but subject to mildew. Requires careful and judicious culture. 
Rogers' Seedlings — Of this large family Nos. 4 and !."> have at- 
tracted most attention. Whether these will prove to be sufficiently early 
and of good quality is somewhat doubtful, though wo are aware that they 
are held in high esteem by other cultivators. No. 4 is a large, dark purple,
