Letter from Sylvester Clark, Esq
Dear Sir TN reply to your inquiries in re-
ference to the Oporto Grape, | answer thstI have
hardy Vine, so much that one very severe
winter my Isabella Vines were killed down to
the roots, while the wood OF the Oporto, standing
in the same garden, with the same exposure,
was not injured in the least. It is good bearer
aud have gathered ten bushels of Grapes in y
season, from the Vines Of one root upon a single
trells. For several years we have made Wine
from ths Oporto Grape, and find ready sale at
one dollar per bottle, selling fifty bottles for su-
gle orders. have therefore great pleasure in
recommending the Oporto Grape to every person
who wishes to make wine for his own use or
| for sale. SYLVESTER CLARK.
