CONCOMII VINES, 
$12 00 per 100 ; $80 00 per 1000 ; 
$700 per 10,000. 
We also offer fine plants of all the sorts of vines usually 
grown. 
The great superiority which the growth of the last two 
seasons, in vai'ious sections of the country, shows our Vines 
to possess, is owing to the fact that they are grown in broad 
deep borders. The roots having thus abundance of room, 
become heavy, woody and substantial, with abundance of 
fibre eyes.—Botli roots and tops become thus so thoroughly 
ripened that on being planted out they grow with great 
luxuriance. 
Having for many years and with large cultivation, thor¬ 
oughly tested the pot culture, giving a pot to each Vine, we 
at length discarded it several years since. 
It has, in our opinion, been the main cause of tlie weak 
growth of a large part of the Delaware Vines, which have 
been sent oat in years past. 
The curled, twisted and matted mass, which the cramping 
of the pot causes, cannot possibly produce a growth to com¬ 
pare with that of the Vine which has luxuriated a year in a 
broad deep border. 
We consider small vines of our culture of the last three 
years, more valuable than the No. 1 Vines of pot culture, and 
we desire that those interested should by comparison, satisfy 
themselves that this is true. 
The DELAWARE VINE has an establislied reputation, 
and needs few words to commend it. Those wlio plant it 
are certain of a good variety both for the table and for wine. 
Its liard and iron-like wood lias endured winters in Iowa 
and Wisconsin, so severe that Catawba and Isabella were en¬ 
tirely killed. It is pre-eminently the grape for Canada, and 
Northern New England, and does equally well on the liill- 
sides of the South. . 
The general failure by rot of Catawba, and other varieties 
the present year, proves incontestibly the great value of tlie 
Delaware. It has not only escaped tlie rot, but where it lias 
been affected by the mildew, which has tins year attacked 
nearly all varieties, the wood and fruit have not been mate¬ 
rially injured. 
The IONA is less valuable than the Delaware, only because 
it has been less universally tested. It is equal to the Chasse- 
las in size and flavor, grows more rapidly than the Dela¬ 
ware, and is no more liable to mildew. As a table grape we 
have a very high opinion of its excellence, and are preparing 
to plant it very largely in our own vineyards. Its wine qual¬ 
ities are yet to be tested. As a table grape it ranks with the 
Delaware. 
Regarding the size of tlie respective classes of vines, tve 
make no “eaitra-s.” 
In assorting our vines of one year’s growth, we make 
three classes. 
No. 1, are the finest and largest, and are really extra. No. 
2 , are the next size, of which large quantities are used for 
vines and planting. No. 3, are valuable for nurserymen to 
plant out. 
When the expense of preparing land for Vineyard is con¬ 
sidered, it is economy to use No. 1 plants. There will be a 
year’s difference in fruiting Delaware, between Nos. 1 and 3. 
The prices of some thirty other varieties will be found in 
the General Catalogue.

Wliat is Said of it, and Wlio Says it. 
“Size of berry fully equal but rather larger rthan Hochelle), 
deckledly sweeter, and an acquisition to this class of iniits. 
I co?isider it the BEST Blachherry I have yet seen ."— 
Charles Downing. 
“I believe it to be the .5.E'*S7’ Blackberry I know of, and 
shall take great pleasure in recommending it to my friends.” 
—Wm. S. Carpenter. 
“Berries longer and more irregular than New Rochelle; 
we measured several an inch ana-a-half long, and 3 inches 
in circumference. Small seeds, .inicy, sweet, with a true 
Blackberry flavor. Tlie fruit possesses the great advantage 
that it does not need to be over-ripe in order to be eatable, 
but while still hard enough to send to market, it is sw'eet 
and fit for the table.”— Agricnltimst.} ,— : 
“Equal to New Rochelle in size and productiveness, mucli 
superior in flavor, and ripens a few days earlier.’—uM. A. 
Fitch, Associate Editor American Agi'iciiUnrifit, 
“Superior, sweeter, and better flavor than Rochelle.”—
