Extract from tlio award of the Committee of American 
Institute, giving theprlzoof One Hundred Dollars to thelona. 
"So far as trial is concerned, tho loua Is not a new grape. 
The Ionn, during the past four or live years, has been grown 
tu several parts of New-York, In Massachusetts, Connecti- 
cut, Pennsylvania, Delaware, New-Jersey, etc., and in an lias 
proved to be early, a pood aud healthy grower, and of tho 
best quality. Some of your Committee have seen It In a 
number of these places, and can confirm the favorablo re- 
ports that bavo been made. Your chairman has had It some 
six years, and examined it under a variety of circumstances, 
and he fully concurs in tho high opinion of his associates. In 
conclusion, the Committee are of opinion that thelona Is the 
only grape now bofOl'O the public that meets the require- 
ments of the "Creeloy Prize," and they accordingly award 
It. All of which Is respectfully submitted." [A copy.] 
A few Testimonials from Reports. 
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer on the great Grape and 
Wine 8hOW, "There arc uew grapes on exhibition that arc 
alone worth the fee to examine, and as the greatest acqnieltlon 
ts mentioned tho Ion a, of which samples of fruit were shown 
and tested. All agreed In pronouncing It a great acquisition 
Of the highest quality. • • Next to this, Israclla and Adl- 
roudac were discussed. ■ • Much depends upon tho habit 
of the vino, Both wore recommended for extensive trial, 
the sense of tho Committee leaning In favor of the Israella" 
From American Agriculturist. " lBraella originated by C. 
\V. Grant, very sweet, black) and ripening about the middle 
of August. It promises to take the lead as an early variety." 
Ohio drape Shoio. "Ono great leading feature of the 
Show was the exhibition of the new grapes, Iona, Adirondac 
and Israella, and another, the discussion of "Grapes," by the 
Ohio State Pomological Convention. The Hartford Prolific 
was only retained on account of its extreme earliness, and 
In tills particular the Israella, a new seedling by Dr. C. ,YV. 
Grant, at least equals It, and while It is In every other 
respect a superior grape, promises to be its rival. The 
famous new seedling grape, Iona, also raised hy Dr. C. W. 
Grant, of Iona Island, K, Y„ was pronounced best by every 
lover of good grapes, and we heard it predicted by many 
leading vlucyardists, that when it shall have opportunity to 
become fully known, the Iona will be the leadiug American 
grape. 
The Israclla and Adirondac, both early black grapes, were 
carefully tested and compared by all present, at the time of 
the discussion, The fruit of each was highly commended 
wherever an early grape is desired, but that of tho Israella, 
as shown here, received the most general expression of ia- 
YOr."— AT 5'. Tribune. 
The leading new sort, and which commands the universal 
admiration of all who have tested It, is the Iona. I repeat 
what 1 have before said, that it is the best American grape 
ever produced. It Is saying a great deal to say that it is su- 
perior to the Delaware, but it is.— Tribune's Export of New- 
York Stats Fair.

Report of Committee on Grapes, at the great Cleveland 
Exhibition of Grapes and Wines : 
"The premium was unanimously awarded to the Dela- 
ware. The contest between the Delaware and Iona was 
Close, there being no diversity of opinion as to the excellent 
quality of the Iona, but the specimens before the Committee 
were not in first-rate condition in consequence of having 
been too long picked. The Committee most heartily com- 
mend thelona as a very valuable acquisition, and the best 
grape of recent Introduction." 
The commendation ol it by the CommUtoa of theAmcri 
can Pomologfcal Congress, waB eqally emphatic as to Its 
: u pa Ung excellence. 
Extracl from Mr. Mead's Book on, the Grape, in advance of 
publication, (lir. Mead, more than auy other Pomplogist.ln 
America, has given special attention to the Grape, and bis 
opinion is consequently most trustworthy and valuable.) 
" For an early grape, the best l have had an opportunity of 
testing Isthe israella. it ripens even before the Hartford 
Proline, and Is very much superior to It. unlike the Hart- 
ford, It adheres Unulv to the imurh, and will hang till frost. 
The color is a dark purple. The bunch and berry are large. 
and the flesh tender, juicy, and very sweet. It la a -rood 
grower, hardv, and productive. It Is the best carlv table 
grape that I am acquainted with, and ranks higher than the 
Isabella.— Placing the Iona and Delaware side by side, we 
may well call them "par nobile fratrum" They are prc-eml- 
ii'-ntlv the best ill" American trraprs. Thev are equally cood 
for the table : but 1 think I can ton'tcc that the rich, concen- 
trated Juice of tho Delaware may give that the first place as 
a grape lor wine, while the superior size of tho Iona will give 
ii the pre-eminence for the table, and the tenacity with 
winch its berries adhere together, remaining fresh and un- 
Bbrlveled, ami its latc-kceplng qualities, give It peculiar 
advantages for the market, AH jndgi -■ -> em lotb to admit 
that bo i tb could have bad a native origin.

will yet be acknoa edged to Tie as 'pare and reflued ' as the 
foreign. I can clearly see the beginning of a 'new dispensa-
