TIIK f |M1 E history of tlw grape is almost aw old as that of man J growing in it- highest perfection in .Syria and Per sia, its lu' ious fruit anil the unrivalled 1 average which its fenuciili-d juice affords, recommended it to the especial tare of the Patriiuchal tillers of the soil ; and vineyards were planted, long before orchards or col lections of other Iruit lrees were at all common. The gi apes of tlie old world are all varieties of the wine grape, Which, though so long and universally cultivated and naturalized in all the Middle and .Southern portions of Europe, is not a native ol that Continent, hut canic originally from I'er.-i.v From the latter country, as the civilization advanced westward, this plant accompanied it fust to Egypt, then to Greece and Sicily,and gyadu ally to Tta!y, Spain, France, and Britain ; to which tab tor country the Romans curried it- about two hundred \ eats alloc Christ. To America the seeds and plants ol the European varieties w ere brought by numerous i'.oii grants and Colonists, within the first filty years alter its settlement. . . The wild grapes of our own co.-.ntry, are quite distinct aperies from the wine grape of Europe, and arc usually stronger in their growth, with longer aud more entire loikige. and in their native state with a peculiar foxy islour.or flavor, and more or less hardness of pulp ; these traits." how • ver. disappear in process of cultivation ; and we have already obtained from the wild type, new varie ties of high tjunitty, and of superior hardiness and pro ductiveness in this, our Northern climate. The nniversa 1 experience 1n all countries, has estab li-hc 1 the fact that dry, warm soil i< the very l>est for tin* vine. All in this latitude may raise the grape suc cessfully by setting the vine i n a favorable exposure to l e sun.* Thatlate \ pieties that 1 -offerfar sale, are all . .it-Tier th. it the Isabella but one, aud that ripens lull as soon as the TsiiEella There is no fruit grown, in my opinion, in thin world, more beautiful, delicious, or use ful than tlie grape. If a man is not too lazy, he may have round liim ail the varieties of grapes iu a high state of cultivation, and his garden adorned with all the beautiful and social productions of this fair world of ours, utid a mind that lias any stir in it at all, by little enquiry aud practice, may learn to cultivate anything that grows. I consider the following variety of grapes the very best to cultivate for out door culture iu our northern climate, out of the vast variety. BURGUNDY. This tv. client hardy grape, is the true Burgundy grape toh idj v.deed lor wine iu France. The fruit is very sic t and i xcellent, and the hardiness of the vine ren ders it one of the best varieties in tlie open air in this iTmi.'te. r.itneh small, compact,(i.e. berries closely set,) Ferries niidle-sized, roundish oval, black, juice sweet, good, ripens about 20th of Sept. Thompson gives more than forty .-ynouynies to this grape. PI![EE SEVENTY-FIVE CENTS. CATAWBA. This excellent native grape, was first introduced to notice by Map Aio.rM. of Georgetown. 1).
