TIE EUMELAN GRAPE, 
This grape, although new to the public, lias had a history 
of nearly thirty years, and at Fishkill, its place of origin, 
proved the most valuable of all the native varieties. During 
the past several years it has been extensively disseminated 
for trial in various parts of the United States, and has every¬ 
where maintained its character as a fruit of the best quality, 
while the vines are vigorous, hardy, and free from mildew. 
It is everywhere admitted to be the, best black grape 
in the entire collection, being as superior to Ihe Concord, 
Hartford Prolific, and Ives'Seedling, as these varieties are 
superior to the common Fox-grapes of the woods. 
We have vines of this variety both one and two years old, 
also a few of extra size for immediate bearing.
