GRAPE VINES. 
My stock this season comprises all the valuable hardy va- 
rieties, and has been produced with the greatest care, to se- 
cure plants that will give uniformly the best results. The 
great superiority that my vines have exhibited throughout 
the country, warrants the confident belief that I can, as here- 
tofore, furnish the best and cheapest vines that can be offered. 
The introduction and dissemination of the Delaware vine 
wasaneventof the utmost importance in American Grape 
Culture, in giving us a most hardy and enduring vine, supe- 
rior to all others, in habit and character, as well as in the 
surpassing quality of its fruit, which fitted it to become " the 
educator of American taste," to use the apt expression of 
Mr. Peter B. Mead. Until shown by the practical test of the 
Delaware, the great excellence attainable by the native 
grape was not known. From the extensive dissemination of 
this variety, the American taste has already become, to a 
considerable extent, educated, and ready to appreciate and 
accept those only that are capable of yielding the highest 
degree of refreshing enjoyment. 
Allen's Hybrid fulfills this requirement for the garden, for 
which it possesses a very good degree of hardiness, and cer- 
tainty of production. It is exquisite in flavor, without any 
of the otfensiveness that has so greatly detracted from the 
value of our native kinds. It is very early in ripening, as 
well as early and abundant in bearing. The excellences and 
peculiar characteristics of the Diana, I have clearly stated 
elsewhere, showing how it merits a very high rank for the 
garden and vineyard. 
But it is my happiness to be able to offer, in two seedlings 
of my own, grapes which, without any defect, combine more 
excellence than any hardy grape in cultivation, and which 
will tally satisfy the most highly cultivated taste, formed by 
the use of the Delaware, Allen's Hybrid, and the best For- 
eign kinds in their highest condition. These are an event 
of not less importance than the accession of the Dela- 
ware, and are named as follows: 
First, the IONA, large in bunch and berry, sufficiently 
compact, with that extreme degree of beauty in color and 
transparency that has belonged hitherto only to the Grizzly 
Frontignau. Like that most estimable variety, it is pure, 
rich, and spirited in flavor, and of uniform tenderness quite 
to the center. Its time of ripening is very early, being nbout 
the same as that of the Delaware. It is now on its seventh 
season of trial, and in different localities has exhibited a de- 
gree of constancy in production and perfection of ripening, 
with the absence of all nnhealthiness, that belongs to the 
Delaware alone, with an exception that belongs probably to 
the Israella, only the latter has not been quite so extensively 
tested, having been one season less in bearing, but with the 
same constancy and excellence of habit. 
The ISRAELLA is of large size; bunches large and 
compact, very dark in color, ripening as early as the Hart- 
ford Proline, tender to the center — of very remarkable and 
peculiar excellence, for full account of which see price list. 
Price list, (or two, if requested,) with full account of these 
new kinds, sent on receipt of stamp. "When requested, a 
proposition will also be sent for the formation of clubs by 
which all of the members can obtain the vines at wholesale 
prices. For notice of Catalogues and Mannal of the Vine,

These plants are produced from cuttings of bearing vines. 
None of them are propagated either by layering or graft- 
ing, and 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 stock of Delawares 
has for two years been bought up early in the autumn 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 find it their interest to 
purchase largely to plant for stock. 
The Proprietors can also famish 
other HARDY GRAPJES, Including Concord, X>i- 
ana, C reveling, lona, Allen's Hybrid, Adi- 
rondack, and other new sorts.

The two great grape Exhibitions held la.st autumn in New- 
York and Cleveland, awarded to the Adirondac, the prize for 
the " Best native grape of any kind, quality to rule." 
The discovery and introduction of the Adirondac grape is an 
event of the highest importance to grape growers, and the 
greatest advance yet attained in native grapes. Its peculi- 
arities are. extreme carlincss, large clusters and berries, ten- 
der and thin skin, melting without any perceptible pulp, and 
of the most delicate and delicious flavor, reminding one of 
that splended Hothouse grape the "Black Hamburg." Also
