SALE OF ITALIAN GRAPE vINEs.-A few days ago
we informed our readers that Mr. Lester, our Con-
sui at Genoa, had imported quantity Of valuable
grape vines from Savoy and Piedmont. They will
be sold at 10 Broad street, by VIM Franklin a. Son,
this morning at ii O'Clock, and we have sadly mis-
taken the taste Of citizens, if they do not appre
cate this praiseworthy effort of our Consul at Ge-
noa. We do not know OF single Consul abroad
besides Mr. Lester, who has ever devoted so much
attention to the real interests of agriculture, COM
merce and literature. We were afraid, when we
first heard of this enterprising movement that Mr.
Lester would meet with sacrifice in attempting to
Introduce from distant part of the world vine
which no one has hitherto tried to import. But
such seems to be the. deep interest generally
awakened among citizens in regard to this sale,
we believe that every vine will be sold for fair
price. We are informed that large number of
hortculturists and gardeners have come from Bos-
ton, Albany, Philadelphia, and even from Baltimore,
to attend the sale.
We hope that our New Workers will be on the
look out and not let spectators from those cities
get them all into their hands. We want these vines
here among US: Why should we not eat good grapes
and drink good wine well as Bostonians!
