 grape nwturing we have had in many year?, the subscriber ripen-

 by improve<l cultivation, pruning, &c., a crop of good fruit can 

 be obtained EVKKY YEAR, in most of the Northern, all of the 

 Middle, Western and Southern States. 



N. B. — To those who take sufficient to plant six acres, as he di- 

 rects, he will, when they commence bearing, furnish the owner 

 with one of his Vinedressers, whom he has instructed in his mode 

 of cultivation, and he will do all the labor of the Vineyard, and 

 insure the most perfect success. The only charge, a reasonable 

 compensation for the labor. When the purchase is large, and ap- 

 proved paper or other security can be offered, a liberal credit on 

 most ')f the purchase will be given.

The Lawton Blackberry, 



(THE NEW AMERICAN FRUIT.) 

 "Numerous testimonials of public bodies and professional 

 growers, have been produced in favor of its being a distinct and 

 good habited plant, without a single defect in its growth or bear- 

 ing — the fruit of delicious flavor, admirably adapted either for a 

 dessert fruit, for market produce,, or for family consumption in 

 home-made wine. The fruit is produced in large terminal 

 racemes ; the individual aggregate berries are large, like to small 

 conglomerated miniature clusters of black grapes, and with seeds 

 proportionately small to each berry." 



Thus in all parts of the world is this fruit becoming favorably 

 known, and a volume of testimonials could be given equally 

 favorable. The original variety, free from admixture of seed- 

 lings, or the Common New Roch«lle. in packages to suit pur 

 chasers, for sale by WILLIAM LAWTON,
