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). I'., and was
found by"him in .Maryland. It probably ba its name
I rum tiie Catawlia river, it us one of the most productive
iiiitl excellent of our uatix e sorts. There is is no grape
in i portions of the United States, so good lor wine
or table use. Beantitul bunches, pule red, rich musky
ilavor, and very sweet when ripe.
PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
CLINTON.
Origin uncertain, said to have originated in Western
New York, growth vigorous, hardy, and productive,
bran-he- compai t. iierries round, rather In-low inedinm
raze. black, coveted with a thick bloom, eatable eight or

A seedling of the Catawba raised l y Mrs. Diana Cre
hon, of Boston, and named by the Massachusetts Horti
cultural .-society. it was announced the best and most
beautiful oi American grapes, particularly valuable for its
earliitess. The color is a line reddish lilac, it hangs long

the wile t'tl Coram;k (line.-, Esq., in honor of whom it
