Dear Sir: I feel grati-tied that my article on the grapevine, in the Horticulturist of last month, has aroused at least one of your numerous subscribers. I was not aware that it amounted to such paramount importance as he assigns to it, and do not consider that I have done more than has often been performed before, and that without injury afterwards, under good treatment. As to the doubts and fears of Mr. Cleveland, they go for what they are worth. It is well known that the grapevine can be brought to healthy and permanent bearing in less time than four years. I sincerely hope that his invitation to grape growers, generally, will meet with a hearty response, for no one more than myself, wishes to see this valuable boon of nature brought to its greatest capabilities; but if we are to derive any really valuable information for our guidance, our varions operations in detail should be recorded , our success and failures alike registered, so that the sure test of public opinion may pass its verdict, and we may be benefitted, generally and collectively.

It was no self-glorification on my part that caused me to give my practice as in that article detailed, but a wish to encourage the erection of graperies and the cultivation of the grape vine, and if it will lead to further and better experience being recorded, my most can gnine wishes will have been accomplished. Perhaps if Mr. Cleveland had taken vp the same •pace that be has occupied in describing his working, instead of expressing so much opinion, it might hare been of more general benefit, for '* our judgments like our watches, none goes jest alike, yet each believes his own." Suffice it to say, that my ideas in cultivation are not the mushroom aspiration of yesterday, but are founded upon the experience of twenty-five years close observation, and practical application of the laws of nature, and whether sue cess or failure be my fate in the present case, your correspondent shall have it faithfully recorded to amply satisfy him, but for the present my motto is "nil desperandum." I am yours most respectfully, Wm. Chorlton. New Brighton, Stolen Island, March 10,1852.
