CLASS IL—AMERICAN INDIGENOUS GRAPES.

Prices.—The prices named are for single Vines. When six or twelve, or more of any
variety are ordered, a reduction will be made. Extra Large Bearing Vines will be charged in
proportion to their value. 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 nursery will be supplied by
us at the same or at lower rates. 3

Grapes for Vineyards.—Isabella, Catawba, Clinton, and Norton’s Virginia can be supplied by
thousands of one and two years of age at very reduced rates.

Note.—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.

De Candolle, large, round, purple, beautiful, cluster very large, sweet, good quality, very pro-
ductive ; requires powerful heat to mature well.

Decean’s Superb, medium, oval, amber, fine flavor, requires great heat to become matured.

Delaware, small, round, clear red, thin skin, not a trace of pulp or foxy flavor, seeds few and
small, very sweet, rich and juicy, vinous and aromatic with a slight musk flavor similar to Chas-
seles Musqué and Red Frontignan ; excellent for table and wine; cluster small and compact; it
makes delicious amber-colored wine; vine hardy, but of very slender delicate growth like the
Rebecea until! the third year, after which it grows vigorously. Itis not productive when young,
but vgry fully so when it attains considerable size and age; ripens the beginning of September,
two orthree weeks before the Isabella.

It requires to be protected by training it against a wall or house having a warm southern
exposure, or on a trellis in a protected garden, and will then produce a perfect and abundant
crop. It is as subject to weak and stinted growth and to mildew as any other foreign variety.
This grape, has been widely disseminated as a true native variety, although the Germans in Ohio
have trom the first declared it to be the Red Traminer of the Rhenish vineyards. _

The writer (W. R. P.) having inspected the Vines at Delaware, Ohio, and elsewhere, has
fully satisfied himself ‘of its foreign origin. It appears to have been introduced to New Jersey by
Mr. Provost, who emigrated from Switzerland, and brought this and other foreign Grapes with
him. He cultivated these foreign vines only, as, at that time, no Native Grapes were regarded as
suitable for vineyard culture. From Mr. P.’s ground vines were carried by his brother-in-law to
Chester county, Penn., where some are now found over twenty years old. Joseph Heath, formerly
an employé of Joseph Bonaparte at Bordentown, and now a resident of Delaware, Ohio, carried
this vine from that garden to Delaware. Whether Bonaparte obtained his vines from Provost, or
imported them direct from Europe is as yet unknown. If seedlings have been found similar, the
seeds were undoubtedly dropped by birds, who are especially fond of its early small sweet
berries. Z

The foreign origin of this Grape is also) fully established by the fact, that from all recent
investigations, it combines every specific attribute of the Vitzs vinifera, and that it possesses none
whatever indicative of indigenous origin.

Dr. Garber of Pa., decides positively that it is not a pure native. Saml. Walker, Esq., Ex-
President of the Mass. Horticultural Society, in response to a letter in which I stated my views as.
here presented, says:—‘‘ All you say about the Delaware Grape, I believe will prove to be true;
all my plants are very weak and the leaves full of mildew; I think it will be a failure.” Indeed,

_# J have not seen any vines grown in open field culture that were not greatly affected by mildew,
and this has also been the case in some protected gardens when on trellises.

These facts, however, by no means detract from the great excellence and value of this
exquisite berry, but only serve to admonish us as to the extra care requisite for its success, and

jthat we must view it as an appendage to the garden, and not as applicable to vineyard culture in
this latitude.

vine hardy, vigorous growth, very productive, and suited to outdoor culture on walls and trellises.
