In the November number of the Horticulturist, a notice appeared of the above-named grape, as shown at the Lake Shore Grape-Growers' meeting in Cleveland. From the same source, we have received the accompanying outline figure of a bunch and description, as follows :

Detroit Grape - First shown at Cleveland, October, 1866, by Mr. T. R. Chase, of Cleveland, who says the vine was found growing in a garden owned by himself in Detroit, Michigan, about six years since; supposed to be a seedling.

Vine very vigorous and hardy, with foliage much resembling Catawba. Wood, short jointed; in size, about half way between Catawba and Delaware; has so far been unprotected, and has yearly produced abundance of fruit; has shown no indication of mildew or rot, and may be classed as perfectly hardy.

The Detroit Grape #1

Another new grape. Well, well, where are we to stop, or what are we to do, who attempt growing one or more of each named kind? Shall we buy out our neighbor and move him West, or shall we take up a section or township in New Jersey? By-the-by, is not this furor for bringing out new grapes, without any extended knowledge of their behavior beyond one original location, getting to be rather an evil than a benefit? Is there any possible way by which we can induce those who have new grapes to introduce, and who profess to have great confidence in their value, to put one or more vines into the hands of vine-growers in different parts of our country, for trial, and report four years, and meantime decline to sell? It is said one "can not have too much of a good thing," but in this grape matter I think we are a little like the man with a very fleshy woman for wife, who, when the remark was; made to him and applied to his wife as the good thing, replied that it might be so, but he had wife enough.
