Hari iness of the Rebecca.— This new and fine Grape has proved hardier than the Isabella. While the Isabellas were 
killed down to the snow-line, the Rebecca remained unhurt. 
[From the American Jlgriculhirisl, JVou. 1857.] 
The berHes of the Rebecca are considerably larger than those of the Delaware, and to our individual taste they are 
preferable. Their white color and sweet flavor are scarcely excelled by the finest foreign grapes. This grape has proved perfectly 
hardy, both at Hudson, New York, where it originated, and at points still further North. 
THE GOLDEN HAMBURG.— A first class fruit, distinct from all light varieties ; when fully ripe, of rich amber color, 
having the hardy habit and all the good qualities of the Black Hamburg. 
°THE BOVVOOD MUSCAT. — Similar to the Muscat of Ale.xandria, but possessing the desirable qualify of setting well, and 
being compact and superior in the form of the bunch. Dr. Lindley, in the Gardeners'' Chronicle, p. 757, says, » We have never 
seen a variety of greater promise; the appearance of the bunch and berries is most magnificent; the quality is much the same as 
the Cannon Hall Muscat." These two foreign grapes have received the highest testimonials at the English exhibitions. 
Fine Plants, of the two last named Varieties, in Pots, will be Beady for Sending Out in April. 
HOSES. 
ISABELLA GRAY. A new Golden Yellow Tea Rose, described in the London Gardeners' Chronicle., April 11, p. 255, 
as follows:— "The plant exhibited was unfortunately not in good condition for showing, having got greatly injured by travelling ; 
it, however, indicated what a fine thing it is. It had upwards of forty blooms on it, large and double, and nearly as fine in color as 
the old double yellow, which nobody can flower. This new sort must, therefore, be regarded as a great acquisition, .should it con- 
tinue to be a free bloomer. It is called Isabella Gray, and it was mentioned that, as there are two or throe Miss Grays whose merits 
have not been proved, persons desirous of obtaining this plant ought to take care to get the sort now produced." Each One Dollar.
