THE GRAPE.
THE history of tlie grape is almost as old as that of mnii
—crowing in its highest perfection in Syria and Per
sia, its lueious fruit and the unrivalled beverage which it.->
fennented juice affords, recommended it to the especial
care of the Patriarchal tillers of the soil; and vineyards
were extensively planted, long before orchards or col
lections of other fruit trees were at nil common.
The grapes of the 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 of that Coutiuent, but came
originally from Persia. From the latter country, as the
civilization advanced westward, this plant accompanied
it—first to Egypt, then to Greece and Sicily, and gradu
ally to Italy, Spain, France, and Britain ; to which lat
ter countrv the Romans tarried it about two hundred
years after Christ. To America the seeds and plants of
the European varieties were brought by numerous Emi
grants and Colonists, within the first fifty years alter its
settlement.
The wild grapes of our own coyntrv, are quite distinct
species from the wine grape of Europe, and are usually
stronger iu their growth, with longer and more entire
foilage, and in their native state with a peculiar foxy
odour or flavor, aud more or less hardness of pulp ; these
traits, however, disappear in process of cultivation ; and
we have already obtained from the wild type, new varie
ties of high quality, and of superior hardiness aud pro
ductiveness in this, our Northern climate.
The universal experience in all countries, has estab
lished the fact that dry, warm soil is the very best for
the vine. All in this latitude may raise the grape suc
cessfully by setting the vine in a favorable exposure to
the sun. The late varieties that I offer tor sale, are all
earlier than the Isabella but one, and that ripens full as
soon as the Isabella There is no fruit grown, in my
opinion, in this world, more beautiful, delicious, or use
ful than the grape. If a man is not too lazy, he may have
round him all the varieties of grapes in a high state of
cultivation, and his garden adorned with all the beautiful
and social productions of t his fair world of ours, and a
mind that has any etir in it at all.by IVttle enquiry and
practice, inay learn to cultivate anything that grows.
I consider the following variety of grapes the very best
to cultivate for out door culture in our northern climate,
out of the vast variety.
BURGUNDY,
This excellent hardy grape, is the true Burgundy grape
sd highly valued lor wine in France. The fruit is very
sweet and excellent, aud the hardiness of the vine ren
ders it one of the best varieties in the open air in this
climate. Bunch small, compact,(i.e. berries closely set.)
Berries midle-sized, roundish-oval, blaek, juice sweet,
good, ripens about 20th of Sept. Thompson gives more
than forty symmymes to this grape.
PlllCß SEVENTV-FIVE CENTS.
CATAWBA.
This excellent native grape, was first introduced to
notice bvMaj. Aou m. of Georgetown. 1). C., and was
found by him in Maryland. It probably has its name
from the Catawba river, it is one of the most productive
and excellent of our native sorts. There is is no grape
iu some portions of tlie United States, so good for wine
or table use. Beautiful bunches, pale red, rich musky
tlavor, and very sweet when ripe.
PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
CLINTON.
Origin uncertain, said to have originated in Western
New York, growth vigorous, hardy, aud productive,
bunches compact, berries round, ruther below medium
size, black, covered with a thick bloom, eatable eight or
teu days before Isabella, frosts muke them very good.
PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
CONCORD.
This exceeding fine, hardy native grape, was raised
from seed by E. W. Be 1.1., Concord, Mass. It is very
healthy, vigorous habit, and very productive,bunch rath
er compact, large shouldered, almost black, covered with
bloom, very sweet, it is more hardy than the Isabella,aud
ripens about ten days earlier. Consequently it is very
valuable for a large Northern range.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
DELAWARE.
The precise origin of this is not known, we have tlie
following account of it from A. Thomson, of Delaware,
Ohio. It was brought to Delaware by a German, its ex
cellence attracted his attention, and an inquiry as to its
history. It was brought from New Jersey some eighteen
or twenty years ago, having been obtained from the gar
den of a French gentlemen. Pai l H. I'kovost, in Kings
wood twp., Hunterdon Co., N. J. It was known in that
vicinity as the Italian Crape, sent from Italy, buneh
small, a beautiful light red, or flesh color, exceedingly
sweet, one of the most delicious, hardy grapes. It is a
vigorous grower, an early and profuse bearer, and prob
ably more hardy thau the Isabella, it ripens two or three
weeks before the Isabella. No grape more desirable
for our climate.
PRICE, THREE DOLLARS.
DIANA.
A seedling of the Catawba raised ty Mrs. Diana Cre
liou.of Boston, and named by the Massachusetts Horti
cultural Society. It was announced the lest and most
beautiful of American grapes, particularly valuable for its
carliuess. Tlie eolqr is a fine reddish lilac, it hangs long
on the vines and is not injured by severe frosts ; it is ex
ceedingly productive and vigorous.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
HARTFORD PROLIFIC.
Raised by Mr. Steki,, nt Hartford, Conn. Hardy, vig
orous and productive, bunch large shouldered, rather
compact, berry large globular, black .covered with bloom,
ripe about ton days before the Isabella.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
ISABE ? A.
This very popular grape, a native of South Carolina,
was brought to the North and introduced to the notice of
cultivators about the year I*lß. Mrs. 1.-auei.i.a Gibbs,
the wife of Guokge Gibbs, Esq., in honor of whom it
was named. Jts great vigor, hardiness, and productive
ness, with the least possible care, have caused it to be
most widely disseminated. It is probably more hardy .and
ripens earlier thau the Catawba, which renders it most
valuable at the North. It is so well known it is hardly
worth while to describe the beautiful fruit it bears.
PRICE TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
EARLY NORTHERN MUSCANDINE.
This grape ripens the last of Sept., is perfectly hardy.
The variety is a seedling from the native white grape
raised by Piiii.emon Stevens, Shaker Village, New L-eb
anon. Columbia Co., N. Y. Bunch fine and large, light
amber color, and very delicious, very highly spoken of,
and very hardy aud productive.
PRICE ONE DOLLAR.
REBECCA.
A new variety, bunches four inches long, and two and
a half inches in diainatcr, very compact, color light green
in the shade, or goldcu in the sun, and covered with a
light bloom, sweet and delicious, ripens ten days earlier
than the Isabella, keeping a long time alter it is gather
ed. This superior white grape is undoubtedly a native—
chance seedling iu the garden of E. M. I'kakk, of Hud
son, X. Y.. proved perfectly hardy and productive. It is
not so vigorous iu its habits as the Isabella or Catawba ;
but hardy and healthy, and being exceedingly beautiful,
as well as excellent, it must be regarded as a very great
acquisition, it is so well adapted to the North.
PRICE, TWO DOLLARS.
UNION VILLAGE.
This very attractive grape originated among the Shak
ers at Union Village, Ohio, and was introduced by Mr.
Lonowokth. of Cincinnati. It is undoubtedly a seed
ling of Isabella, is very vigorous in growth, and its fruit
often nearly equals the size of the Black Hamburg. It
ripens about the time of Isabella.
PRICE. ONE DOLLAR.
The following tender variety of grape vines arc ail
raised under glass with one exception, the Cha**ela. 1
have succeeded admirably in out door culture with the
vine. Black Hamburg, Red Muscat, White Syrian, Golden
Hamburg. Bishop, White Frontignan, Black Prince, Blk.
Damask. Golden Chasseias, may be found at my garden
well rooted.
The Isabella, Catawba and Clinton, by the 10(1 or 1000
all well rooted, to any that wish to set vineyards at ex
ceeding low rates. 1 warrant all true to name, any mis
take or errors shall be made good. Ido not want some
thing for nothing A legal thief is the most detjpicable.
1 wisli to advertise a simple fact only—no puffing in pa
pets is wanted. By my own merit I stand or fall, earth
ly tribunals cannot keep me up or down.
The above grape vines can be bad at the garden of
HA BUY MIX.
Mr. John A. C.amckb being equally interested, will
travel throughout tiie county and adjoining ccunties, ami
will give instructions about culture, Ac., aud lie aide to
show drawings of some of the new varieties of grapes
which are In great demand and very scarce.
