BLACK BARBAROSSA VINE. 
A friend of mine being in London, at the Great Industrial 
Exhibition of 1851, went to the Horticultural Society’s 
October Show, in Regent-street. He was much struck with 
the appearance of some splendid bunches of Grapes, ex¬ 
hibited by Mr. Butcher, under the above name, and 
purchased two plants of the sort. One of them was 
planted, out-of-doors, against a southern wall; but it has 
not thriven as well as could have been wished; the other 
was given to me, and I planted it in the border of a green¬ 
house, with nineteen feet lopers; and now (after being 
planted two years— i.e., from November, 1852, until Novem¬ 
ber, i 854, having been obliged to keep it in a pot during the 
first year, on account of its being so small) it has made two 
extraordinary shoots the whole length of the lopers, which 
have produced, during the season, the most splendid foliage. 
One of the shoots is 2J inches in circumference, and the 
other is 1 j inches. The wood has ripened well, and the 
plumpness of the buds augur well for a crop of fruit next 
season. I am so well pleased with its appearance, that I 
think the Cottage Gardener may with confidence recom¬ 
mend it to its readers.—C. B. S., Jersey.
