The Concord Grape. 
Messrs. HOVEY A CO., 7 Merchants' Row, Boston, 
H AVE the pleasure of announcing lhat thay will offer for 
sale on the 1st of April next, Mr. Bull’s new Seedling 
Grape, the whole slock of which has been placed in their 
hands for disposal. 
This remarkably fine new American variety is the great¬ 
est acquisition that has ever yet been made to our hardy 
grapes, and supplies the desideratum so long wanted, of a 
superior table grape, sufficiently hardy to withstand (he cold¬ 
est climate, and early enough to mature its fruit in any part 
of the Northern or New-England States. It is four weeks 
earlier than the Isabella, and nearly' two weeks earlier than 
the Diana. It was fully ripe the last season (1853) about 3d 
of September, when Messrs. Hovey A Co. exhibited fine spe¬ 
cimens from Mr. Bull’s original vine, before the Massachu¬ 
setts Horticultural Society. 
It is a most vigorous growing vine, perfectly hardy, wilb 
bunches of large size, often weighing a pound, and with 
large roundish, oval berries, frequently measuring an inch in 
diameter; color very dark, covered with a thick blue bloom; 
flesh free from all pulp; flavor very rich and luscious, with 
a fine sprightly' aroma. The foliage is large, broad and 
thick, and the berries have never been known to mildew, 
rot, and drop oft’, under any circumstances during the five 
years since it has first borne fruit. All good judges who 
have tasted it, pronounce it far superior to the Isabella in its 
ripest condition. A full description of it with an engraving, 
appears in the February number of the Magazine of Horti¬ 
culture. 
Opinions of the Fruit Committee of the Mass. Hort. Society. 
1852. Sept. “ Seedling Grape, from E. W Bull, large, 
handsome and excellent.” 
1853. Sept. “ Fully equal to specimens last year, and 
proves to be a remarkably early, handsome, and very supe¬ 
rior grape.” 
Fine strong one year old vines will be ready for delivery 
April 1st, at $5 each, and to the trade at $40 per dozen. All 
orders will be executed in the rotalion in which they are re¬ 
ceived. 
Messrs. Hovey A Co. will also offer for sale, at the same 
time, the Boston Peak and Hovey Cherry', two new and- 
superior varieties of fruit, particulars of which will be given

HEDGES l HEDGES !—LIVE FENCES, 
From tlie Maclura or Osage Orange, 
II. W. PITKIN'S SEEDS AND PLANTS. 
I WOULD call the attention of those who may' desire to 
enclose their grounds with this desirable hedge, to my 
Osage Orange Seed, which has, the past season as heretofore, 
been gathered and preserved under my immediate care and 
direction, and can therefore be-warranted fresh and genuine. 
It is well known that a large portion of the seed usually 
purchased in market, fails to germinate. This is owing to 
the vital injury received in process of extraction from the 
apple, and the careless, slovenly manner of putting up and 
transporting. 
Also on hand a large number of selected plants. They are 
so packed as to be transported with safety' and little expense. 
A descriptive pamphlet, containing full directions for plant¬ 
ing seed, setting and rearing hedges, Ac., maited to purchas¬ 
ers. Address H. W. PITKIN, Manchester, Conn.
