Gk APE VINES.
 H AV1NG had a practical experience of six & N years in the propagation uf Vines and cultivation of Grapes. 1 am fully prepared to sell Vines of the tsst quality and at low prices.
 Experience has fully settled the fact, that there are but three varieties of Grapes of any excellence that can be d~pended upon for ripen- ing in this County, which are
 lst and best, Delaware
 2d, and equal to inc Isabella the Hartford
 Prolific.
 Sd, An exceeding good Grape, Northern Mus
 cadine
 All of which ripen fully weeks before the Isabella
 To which might perhaps be added the Con- cord, which, though ripcning one week later, is ot the best quality, and good. when even not fully ripe.
 Of the above varieties, the Rev. Dr. Eldridge says. Oct 1, 1861:
 The best for outdoor culture in Litchaeld County am now confident, are the Delaware, Hartford Prolific, and Northern Muscadine. l have fruited these three varieties for two years ut Norfolk. They ripened fully their crops They are all hardy, good bearers. and yield Grapes of an excellent quality. The Delaware is unsurpassed in flavor. The Hartford Prolific is not, in my opinion. inferior to the Isabella The Northern Muscadine is & very good Grape !" The above Vines offer for sale at the follow ing prices:
