FORTY-FIFTH EDITION. N. B.— The recipients of this Catalogue are presumed to already possess our Descriptive Catalogue, 44th Edition, published last year, aud, if not so, they can have it on application, as the new Descrip- tive Catalogue will not he issued until January next. TRANSPLANTING AND FORWARDING GRAPE VINES. Grape Vines can be safely transplanted from the first of October to May ; and no class of plants is more retentive of vitality, or more sure to succeed. During Winter we keep a stock planted in cellars, ready for immediate transplanting, and during the Summer we keep a large assortment in pots, and these can be turned out with balls of earth, which can be packed in moss, and then in boxes, so as to be transported with perfect safety. Every variety is accurately labeled, and carefully packed, and the packages forwarded by Express, or otherwise, as requested, and a receipt taken from the Transportation Co. and forwarded to the purchaser with the invoice. Remittances can he made by check through the mail, but Bank Notes should be sent by Express. h*. Wynkoop, Hallenbeck & Thomas, Printers, 113 Fulton St., N.

CLASS 1 -FOREIGN GRAPES-VITIS YIMFERA. These are, in this latitude, suitable only for culture in Graperies, with the exception of a few varieties which are sufficiently hardy for training on walls having a southern expo- sure, such as the Chasselas of several varieties, Delaware, White Tokay, and the early Burgundy or Morillon Varieties. At the South they succeed in open culture. This collection is remarkably select, and comprises only the most highly-approved varie- ties, and the synonomy has been carefully revised. Prices. — These will, in all cases, be as low, or lower, than any other nursery for vines of similar sizes. Scions of many of the more plentiful varieties can be supplied in January. Vines of one year, grown in pots, 38 to 50 cents ; two years, 75 cents ; $4 to S6 per dozen. Extra large vines selected, SI each. When a large number is wanted, a liberal deduction on the prices will be made. CHASSELAS VARIETIES. 4. G1,. Beach, bed early black. See class hi. Blussard blanc, 75c. Canadian Chief. See class in.

Our Grape Vines are nearly all grown in the open air, and not forced in Hothouses, and they are, consequently, much more hardened to the severities of our climate. They are mostly one year old, except where otherwise noted, hut the Native Varieties are, for the most part, vigorous layers, which are equal to two years' Vines grown from cuttings. As the prices of many varieties of Native Grapes will be fluctuating according to the extent of the demands and the relative supply or scarcity, we shall issue Priced Catalogues twice in each year ; and we also make this proposal as the basis of our transactions : any List of Grapes extracted from a priced Catalogue of any reliable Nusery, will be supplied by us at the same or at lower rates. Extra large Vines, for immediate bearing, will be charged in proportion to their value. Grapes for Vineyards.— Isabella, Catawba, Clinton, Concord, Diana, Early Isabella, True_ Hyde's Eliza, Franklin, Carter's Favorite, Hartford Prolific, Herbemont, Louisa, Lenoir, Norton's Virginia, Scuppernong, York Madeira, and several other varieties, can he supplied by thousands, and a Wholesale Catalogue will be sent to applicants. 101. 102. 103. 101. 106. 107. 38c. 60 3 00 108. 109. 110.

The prominent object to which public attention is now called is Vineyard Culture, for which purpose none but the Indigenous species and varieties, of a perfectly rustic character, are appropriate — they alone possessing the hardihood and the freedom from mildew and from other objections which apply invariably to every Foreign variety, and, so far as yet proven, to every American variety grown from the seed of the tender and feeble Vilis vinifera. No greater blight could be inflicted on our prospective Vineyard Culture, than the recommendation for that object of such feeble growing Vines, subject to mildew in open culture, as the Delaware, Rebecca, Clara, Emily', Brinckle, &c. The failures which would inevitably result from such injudicious selections would occasion such discouragement to Cultivators, that American Wine Culture would be thrown back ten years at least. These varieties, though possessed of nearly all the desirable qualities that have been ascribed to them, are only adapted to special Garden culture, where they can be trained on walls or protected trellises, but they will never succeed in open unprotected field culture . In the Selections to be made of Varieties for the Table and for the Vineyard, it would be unreasonable to expect that the qualities most desirable for each of these purposes could be found combined in the same fruit, when the requisites are so very dissimilar. The largest, most tender, sweet, and melting varieties are desired for the dessert, whereas it is those least sweet, but most brisk, sprightly and aromatic, and often those quite austere and astringent, that yield the choicest wines. Furtheimore, there is no celebrated Wine grape if large size, they all being quite small or medium, a fact that can be rationally explained. Acclimation. — In this regard there exist very erroneous views. No Plant or Animal has ever been accli- mated in the existing race by any change of location ; as such amelioration attaches only to their progeny. Seminal reproduction can alone eflect any such change, and then only gradually through succeeding genet ations. This results from a great natural Law, by which every Animal, Tree, or Plant, partakes in a degree of the char- acter of the climate and soil where it is generated. The acclimation and improvement of the Persian Grape (Vitis vixifer.a) to its present condition in France, has been a labor of 20CO years, and to render it hardy and vigorous enough to sustain our climate (if such a result were possible) would require at least another 1GO0 years. What lolly, then, would it be lor us to look to the feeble productions of uncongenial climes, as the hopeful parents of a hardy and vigorous progeny suitable to withstand the rigors of an American winter, and the peculiarities of our summer climate. Should we not rather look to the robust and vigorous species of the Vine which God himself has planted everywhere in the American forest, and which spring up wildly throughout every region of our country, mounting the loftiest trees, and spreading their tendrils far and wide? When the Deity in his wisdom placed only one species of the Vine in the Eastern Hemisphere, and planted eight species in North America, shall we question His intelligence, as thus manifested, by a disregard to the rich treasure he has thus imparted to us? Or. shall we not rather seek, by the seminal productions which must result from our superior advantages, to obtain new and exquisite varieties of the grape, which shall surpass in size, beauty, and flavor, anil especially in hardihood and robust character, all which Europe has yet been able to present either in the shape of fruit for the dessert,. or in that of the most delicious and exhilarating Wines? It is now about forty years since William Prince named and introduced the Isabella Grape to public, notice. That Vine was then supposed to be of Southern origin, but our investigations have since satisfied us that it is a Northern Vine and a native of this State. In the year 1810, William R. Prince, aided by William Prince, pub lished " A Treatise on the Vine." a volume of 355 pages octavo, in which he demonstrated the fact, that " God has preeminently stamped our country as the land of the Vine." He urged most ardently upon his country- men the immediate formation of extensive Vineyards, for the attainment of three objects : First — To increase the national wealth by superseding the vast importation of adulterated wines and alcoholic mixtures. Secondly — To furnish a cheap and innocent domestic beverage with the gently exhilarating qualities given to the juice of the grape by the Creator. Thirdly — That the universal adoption of a pure beverage, restorative of physical and mental exhaustion, might have the same opportunity here of producing the result universal in the wine- producing countries of Europe, viz., the extinction of intemperance as a national characteristic. But our country was not then prepared to appreciate and adopt this important branch of Agricultural In- dustry. We were an entire age too soon in then urging its adoption.
