that accompanied them Mr.. Josselyn
says: These are from one-sear old

tell us they have never been able to
procure good clusters from first-year
bearing vines. We think our clusters
nice. however. but no doubt shall get
larger next season" The grapes ar
rived in fine shape and showed no
marks OF their long journey. They GER
tainly are good shippers. In quality
and size they are remarkable, and bid
fair to take a leading place on the mar

mad, therefore, good opportunity to
observe the earliness of the Lucretia.
