We recently paid a visit to this beautiful spot, and were kindly entertained by its genial and hospitable host and hostess. In our "Chapter of Visits" will be found some extended remarks of a former visit We are more than ever impressed with Dr. Grant's immense facilities for the propagation of the grape: there is no other place to compare with it in this respect Fifty thousand vines in pots, besides some twenty thousand in the ground, will give the reader some idea of what is done in the course of a single year, these all having been propagated during the past season; and they are remarkably fine, too. But one of our objects was to examine by request, the doctor's seedlings. Seven of these we found to be good enough to put on the "promising" list; and two of the seven were so decidedly superior and distinct that we put extra marks on them; there is no danger of confounding them with any grape at present cultivated. The names we gave them we withhold for the present One other, of very early maturity, wo think will take its place as the beat of its class. We advised the doctor, however, to give them all a further trial, and not to risk his well-earned reputation on an uncertainty. Being a sensible man, he will, no doubt, follow such sensible advice.

We shall not be surprised, however, if, one of these days, there issues from this classic-named island, the best native grape that has yet been given to the American public.
