Hardy Graph.

THE CAMBRIDGE. 
A NEW SEEDLING OF .THE HIGHEST MERIT. 
It originated in Cambridge, six or eight years ago, and after continued bearing 
for four or live years has fully proved its excellence. 
It is a blacjc grape, somewhat resembling the Concord, but with more oval 
berries. The bunches are large and shouldered; berries large, with a very thin 
skin, covered with a delicate bloom, and adhering firmly to the bunch; flesh rich, 
brisk, and refreshing, without pulp, and more nearly approaching the Adirondac in 
quality than any other native grape. Its period of ripening is a few days before 
tue Concord. The vine has all the luxuriance of growth and the firmness and 
handsome foliage of the Concord, while it is quite as hardy, if not hardier than 
that grape, not an inch of wood ever having been injured by oar coldest winters. 
The parent vine has never been protected since it sprung up from seed. It is 
entirely free from mildew, not a leaf having been affected. 
Summing up all its qualities, it may be placed, without doubt, at the head of our 
hardy grapes. They are as follows: — 
1. Vigorous and healthy growth and freedom from mildew. 
2. Perfect hardiness, requiring no protection whatever in winter. 
3. Earliness of ripening, preceding the Concord three to eight days. 
4. Size of bunch and berry, and freedom from pulp. 
5. Productiveness, and firm adherence of the berry to the bunch. ' 
6. Superior quality, full of a rich, brisk, and refreshing juice. 
Young plants, $1.50 each; $12 per dozen. Strong vines, $2 to $5 each. 
New Hybrid Raspberry. 
THE NORWOOD. 
This is a hew variety of the raspberry, quite unlike any in cultivation, being a 
hybrid between the Red Raspberry aud the Black Cap, having the large berry of the 
former and the strong growth aud prolific bearing of the latter. Its growth is 
truly astonishing, the canes attaining the height of six feet or more, and an inch in 
diameter at the base; these shoots produce numerous side branches, which are 
covered with fruit.
