THE HEW BOOK OH THE CtJLTIVA- 
TIOH OF FLOWERS. 
From, the New York Times. 
FLOWERS FOR THE PARLOR AND GARDEN. 
By Edward Sprague Rand, Jr. Illustrated by John 
Andrew and A. C. "Warren. 8vo. Boston: J. E. Tilton 
& 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 Is perennial, and will endure 
as long as 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 he shared by all classes, however humble may 
be 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 vraod. They will compare, without disad¬ 
vantage, with any recent home or foreign specimens of the 
art, and give an air of elegance to the practical, prosaic part 
of the work. The mechanical execution of the volume 
could, Indeed, scarcelyhe improved, and is highly creditable 
to the young house, who may take the credit of producing a 
Vade ifecum, welcome in every home of refinement.

particular attention to Rogers’ Hybrid, No. 19, as the largest, 
earliest, and best hardy black grape yet introduced. It is a 
cross between the Black Hamburg and native, combining 
the fine flavor of the foreign with the hardiness of the na¬ 
tive. Our vines are produced from the wood of the original 
Vines of which we have the entire stock.

GRAPE VINES. 
My stock this season, comprising all the hardy varieties, 
is larger than ever before, and at present promises to excel in 
quality the product ot any former year. So much depends 
npon the after part of the season that it is impossible to speak 
with precision upon that point at present. They will have 
all of the excellence that the most attentive care and skill, 
aided by unequalled facilities 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 
cheapest and best that can be obtained both for 
garden and vineyard. 
The fall measure of success In grape culture is not attain¬ 
able without some knowledge of the conditions upon which 
success depends. 
To supply tills knowledge, I have prepared two publica¬ 
tions 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 iu 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 Wine-making.” 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 hound together in flexible paper 
covers for thirty-five cents. A large part of the engravings 
are taken from living vines, and are the most truthful and 
spirited ever published. 
N. B—The two new native seedlings are worthy of at¬ 
tention by every one who lias place and disposition to culti¬ 
vate any vines; for full description of which see Descriptive 
Catalogue. c. W. GRANT,

LOW PRICES. 
PLANTERS, who arc forming Vineyards, 
and 
NURSERYMEN who wish plants for stock, 
will find it their interest to examine the one-year-old plants of 
PARSONS & CO., 
Which they offer 
At the following low prices: 
No. 1. $25 00 per 100.—$200 00 per 1000. 
No. 2 , $15 00 per 100.—$125 00 per 1000. 
$1000 00 per 10,000. 
No. 3. $12 00 per 100.—$100 00 per 1000. 
$750 00 per 10,000. 
These plants are produced from cuttings of hearing vines. 
The accompanying sketch of one of them will show that 
they are not the mere straws 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 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 furnish 
other HARDY GRAPES, Including Concord, (Di¬ 
ana, Creveling, Iona, Allen’s Hybrid, Adi¬ 
rondac, and other new sorts.
