Another Hardy Grape. 
Since the cold winter of ’56, which killed the Isabel¬ 
la and Catawba vines to the ground generally 7 , in this 
region, there has been considerable inquiry for some 
variety that will stand our winters uninjured ; the re¬ 
sult has been that some varieties of the greatest ex¬ 
cellence have been brought to the notice of the public, 
which have been cultivated by a few unambitious far¬ 
mers for years, who were utterly ignorant of the great 
national demand for such fruits as they regaled them¬ 
selves upon every year. 
Thus we find that the Delaware has been cultivated 
in a few neighborhoods for over 20 years, without ex¬ 
citing any marked notice ; yet when the “ Doctors” 
got a taste of it, they at once pronounced it “ the best 
American grape.” 
The Iden grape (named from the person who dissem¬ 
inated it,) is a sort well worthy the attention of those 
who want hardy grapes. It was found growing in the 
forest some 15 miles from here, about 20 years ago, 
and has since been cultivated here more than any other 
variety, and is highly prized on account of its entire 
hardiness, productiveness , and good quality. Bunch 
and berry three-fourths as large as the Isabella ; berry 
round, black, ripe a few days before Isabella, and 
hangs on the vine till cold weather. For cooking it is 
first rate, and some consider it superior to Isabella for 
the dessert, but it will not be pronounced so by good 
judges. 
If any one wishes to test the quality of the fruit, 
and will send me three or four stamps to pay for pack¬ 
ing, I will forward samples per express to order, and 
can furnish good plants at 25 cents each, if ordered 
soon. E. Y. Teas. Richmond. Ind.
