$700 per 10,000. 
We also offer fine plants of all the sorts of vines U3ually 
grown. 
The great superiority which the growth of the last two 
seasons, in various sections of the country, shows our Vinos 
to possess, is owing to the fact that lliey are grown in broad 
deep borders. The roots having thus abundance of room, 
become heavy, woody and substantial, with abundance of 
fibre eyes.— Both roots and tops become thus so thoroui^hly 
ripened that on being planted out they grow with great 
luxuriance. 
Having for many years and with large cultivation, thor- 
oughly tested the pot culture, giving a pot to each Vine, we 
at length discarded It several years since. 
It has, In our opinion, been the main cause of the weak 
growth of a large part of the Delaware Vines, which have 
been sent oat in years past. 
The curled, twisted and matted mass, which the cramping 
of the pnt causes, cannot possibly produce a growtli to com- 
pare with that of the Vine wbich has luxuriated a year in a 
broad deep border. 
"We consider small vines of our culture of the last three 
years, more valuable than the No. 1 Vines of pot culture, and 
we desire that those interested should by comparison, satisfy 
themselves that tliis is true. 
The DELAWARE VIXE has an established reputation, 
and needs few words to commend it. Those who plant It 
are cn'Uiin of a good variety botli for the table and for wine. 
Its liard and iron-like wood has endured winters In Iowa 
and Wisconsin, so severe that Catawba and Isabella were en- 
tirely killed. It is pre-eminently the grape for Canada, and 
Northern New England, and does equally well on the hill- 
sides of the Soutli. 
The general failure by rot of Catawba, and other varieties 
the present year, proves incontestlbly the great value of the 
Delaware. It has not only escaped the rot, but where it has 
been affected by the mildew, which has this year attacked 
nearly all varieties, the wood and fruit have not been mate- 
rially injured. 
The lONA is less valuable than the Delaware, onlybecause 
It has been less universally tested. It is equal to the Chasse- 
las in size and flavor, grows more rapidly than the Dela- 
ware, and is no more liable to mildew. As a table grape we 
have a veryhiirh opinion of its excellence, and are preparing 
to plant it very largely in our own vineyards. Its wine qual- 
ities are yet to be tested. As a table grape it ranks with the 
Delaware. 
Regarding the size of the respective classes of vines, we 
make no "extras." 
In assorting our vines of one year's growth, we make 
three classes. 
No, 1, are the finest and largest, and are really extra. No. 
2, are the next size, of which large quantities are used for 
vines and planting. No. 3, are valuable for nurserymen to 
plant out. 
When the expense of preparing land for Vineyard is con- 
sidered, it is economy to use No. 1 plants. There will be a 
year's diflerence in fruiting Delaware, between Nos. l and 3. 
The prices of some thirty other varieties will be found In 
the General Catalogue.

decidedly sweeter, and an acquisition to thi** class of fruits, 
/ consider it the BEST Blackberry I have yet seen."—

shall take ei'eat pleasure in reconnnending it to my friends."

"Berries loncer and more Irreffular than NewRochelle; 
we measured several an inch and-a-half long, and 3 inches 
Jn circumference. Small seeds, juicv, sweet, with a true 
lilackberry flavor. The Iruit possesses the creat advantage 
that it does not need to be over-ripe in ordur to be eatable, 
but while still hard enoutrh to send to market, it is sweet 
and fit for the table. "—American Agriculttn-ist.} .
