THE NEW BOOK ON THE CULTIVA- 
TION OF FLOWERS. 
From the New York Times* 
FLOWERS FOR THE PARLOR AND GARDEN. 
By Edward Sprague Uam\ Jr. Illustrated by Jonx 
Andrlw and A. C. Warren. Svo. Boston : J. E. Tiltos 
& Co. Price, $2.50 ; half calf, $3.50; full Turkey, $5. 
Though Allied to the annual tribe by its beautiful execu- 
tion, the Interest of this book La perennial, and will endure 
us Ions ns admiration of the beauties of nature's works 
marks the existence of refined taste and elegant culture. 
It will interest all classes engaged in the raising of flowers, 
from the possessors of the aristocratic green-house and con- 
servatory, to those whose share of the soil Is confined to the 
contents of the box before the, window, or the hanging bas- 
ket that decorates the only room. It is, indeed, one of the 
greatest blessings connected with floriculture that its kindly 
influence may be shored by all classes, however humble may 
lie the scale on which it is pursued. The directions given 
seem ample for all necessary instruction, and an ornamental 
Charm is imparted to the volume by a profusion of fanciful 
Illustrations on wood. They will compare, without disad- 
vantage, with any recent home or foreign specimens of the 
ar(. and niveau air of elegance to the practical, prosaic part 
of the work. The mechanical execution of the volume 
could, indeed, scarcely be improved, and is highly creditable 
to the young house, who may take the credit of producing a 
Vade Mecum, welcome in every home of refinement.

GRAPE VINES. 
My stock till* season, comprising ail tin- hardy varieties, 
is larger than ever before, ami at present promisee to excel In 
f|n tin > the product ol any former year. So much depends 
upon the nfief part of the season that it is impossible to speak 
with precision upon thai point at present. They win have 
all of the excellence that the most attentlvo care and skill, 
aided bj unequalled laclllttes in the most favorable local- 
ity for their production, can give them, and I do not hesitate 
to promise to purchasers the most advantageous vines— the 
cheapent and best that can be obtained both for 
garden and vineyard. 
The full measure of success in grape culture is not attain- 
able without some knowledge of the conditions upon which 
success depends. 
To 6upply this knowledge, I have prepared two publlcn- 
tlons which embody the results of long and extensive per- 
sonal experience. Although named Catalogues, the two to- 
gether comprise the most thorough and comprehensive trea- 
tise on the vine that has been published In this country. 
The Descriptive Catalogue, with price list. Is the only pub- 
lication that fully describes the characteristics and relative 
value for garden and vineyard of all of the Native vines 
that are worthy of attention. Besides a very large amount 
of other important matters not discussed In any other pub- 
lication, it contains a chapter on the "Quality of Grapes 
and the education of Taste," by R. G. Pardee, a Lecture on 
the "Conditions of Success in Grape Culture," by Peter B. 
Mead, and a chapter on "Wine and Winc-maklng." It is 
Illustrated with forty engravings and sent for 10 cts. 
The Illustrated Catalogue is a thorough treatise on the 
planting, management, propagation and training of the vine 
In the garden and vineyard, illustrated with more than sixty 
engravings. It is sent for fifteen cents. 
The two are also sent bound together In flexible paper 
covers for thirty-live cents, A large part of the engravings 
are taken from living vines, and are tho moat truthful and 
spirited ever published. 
IV. B.— The two new native seedlings arc worthy of at- 
tention by every one who has place and disposition to culti- 
vate any viues; for full description of which see Descriptive 
Catalogue. C. w\ GRANT,

$750 00 per 10,000. 
These plants are produced from cuttings of bearing vines. 
The accompanying sketch of one of them will show that 
they are not the mere 6traws so often employed, but mostly 
of large size. They are so grown as to ensure an abundance 
of fibrous roots and thoroughly ripened wood. 
The testimony of those who have purchased them for the 
last two years is of the most favorable character. 
In consequence of the low price, their stoek of Delawares 
has for two years been bought up early in the nutumu by a 
few persons. The proprietors wish them more widely scat- 
tered, and hope therefore, that those who desire to purchase, 
will send their orders early. 
In consequence of the great difficulty In growing the Del- 
aware the first year, nurserymen will And it their interest to 
purchase largely to plant for stock. 
The Proprietors can also furnish 
other HARDY GRAPES, Including Concord, 'Di- 
ana, Creveling, Iona, Allen's Hybrid, Adi- 
rondae, and other new sorts.
