Gentlkmen The two baskets of Columbian Grapes arrived here in 
strictly excellent <!ondition. I kept them on exhibition for a whole week. 
Their rich aroma and very large size was the comment from everybody who 
saw them, but the few who Inul an oi)portunity to taste them expressed 
themselves enthusiastically as to the (luality. Speaking for myself, I say 
they are the best flavored Grape out of the hundreds of native grapes I am 
acquainted with. These were nearly seedless, did not average one seed to 
each berry and that was so large that it wa.s easily separated from the pnlp 
— a great desideratum in eating grapes, the individual berries being so large 
the seeds are really small in proportion. The size of these resembled plums 
more than grapes. I candidly advise every one who likes grapes, and it 
they have room for only one or two vines, to plant the “Columbian.” In 
strawberries, I sep that for profits the tendency is for large kinds, this mak- 
ing them extra attractive. It is so with other fruits, and the Columbian 
Grape is the giant of the whole list. It will do to tie to. 
Respectfully youre,

Gentleme.v : — The sample of Columbian Grape was received in gooil 
condition, showing them to be good shippers. Clusters were well filled and 
compact, the berries were very lai-ge, measuring one inch or more in diam- 
eter, and jirobably the largest hardy grape grown. Very showy and attract- 
ive, resembling plums in size and appearance. The flesh was solid, juicy, 
meaty and good, with a trace of native aroma. Color very dark red, almost 
black. We consider it a valuable variety. Respectfully, 
AVM. PARRY.
