"We takemnch plonsnrelnintro<lucinff four new varieties of ITardy Grapes, raised bj'the well-known and Hnecessful hybridizer of Potatoes, (Jrains and other plants, Mr. C. G. Priiiffle, of Vermont. These varieties are purely , without anj'^ foreign blood, and have matured their crops leKuhirlj' in the northern part of Vermont, where most other varieties have failed. They will prove not only a valuable acquisition to the northern parts of our country, where the ordinary varieties will not mature, but will be of great value as verj' early varieties In the more favored portions of the country. MANSFIELD. This is one of the best of Pringle's hybrids and a grape wliich in richness of quality is surpassed by no native sort. It was raised in 1869 from seed of the Concord fertilized by pollen of tlie lona; and it combines in an unusual manner the more valuable characters of both these popular sorts. The vino is a rampant grower, Avith broad and thick leaves which are densely woolly beneath. Color of fruit purplish black nnder a slight bloom; bunch large, often shouldered, sufficiently com- pact; berry large, somewhat oval; flesh tender with l)ut little pulp of a remarkably ricli and delightful flavor. Fruit adheres well to the stem. Season earlier than that of Concord. It is confidently predicted that this variety will take a first rank among our hardiest and best table grapes. Two-year old vines, $ each; cue-year old, $ GOIiDEN DROP. An extremely early wliito Grape, raised by Pringle in 1869 from the Adirondac, fertilized by the Delaware. In size of bunch and berry it resembles Delaw are; in earliness it even suipasses the Adirondac. Color
