CHlilca!jo3. cj&n J ire we team from the New
York papers. that no less tlian seven yjoe,ord, have
been established in the states of New York. New Jcr-
sey, and Connecticut, from plants furnished BY MIR. Par
Tentier, at the Horticultural Garden in BROOKLYN,
Long Island. These vineyards are all in the most -four
IshIng condition, and several others arc about to be un-
dertabcn. Sir i. warrants his vines To hive, i'm case
his Instructions are followed, and selects the species
most congenial 10 the different soils, positions and c.E-
posures. Though these whey ards lave been PLANTED
with a vie" Only to furnishing the New York market
with grapes, Il most important addition to the luxury OF

IS, That TIC culture Of The grapP, and tie manufacture q
