Mr. Caleb Cope will receive our thanks for some Stan wick Nectarines, every way what they ought to be, and creditable to the grower. He has four trees, and fine crope. Accompanying them were some very good Red Romans. We expect, after the entire success of Mr. Hunnewell and Mr. Cope, to hear of success elsewhere, Samuek Miller, of Calmdale, near Lebanon, Penns,, sends us a new seedling grape about the size and appearance of the Isabella, and, we think, as good. He says: -
"This seedling was raised from seed sent mo by Mr. Longworth, of Cincinnati, Ohio, five years ago. The vine bore about a dozen bunches last year; this season it has had, perhaps, fifty or sixty bunches. The vine has been perfectly hardy since its infancy; a strong grower, and will, with good cultivation, far exceed those sent you, in my opinion, as the vine has thus far been sadly neglected.
"You can best judge of its quality, and whether it is worthy of a place among the good grapes. (It is. - Ed.) In the same doe you will find a bunch of grapes from a friend*
Yours, truly, Samuel Miller,"
Mr. Mish, of the same town, sends a bunch of Longworth's Ohio, or Cigar Box, and some very fine Beurre Diel pears. The grape we do not think much of for the table; the pears, excellent. A new white seedling grape, from Mr. Brandogee, is excellent, The raiser, Wm. Brochsbank, Hudson, N. Y.
