GRAPES. 
Table, Eaisik and Wine Vaeieties. 
No Phylloxera in our Mountains. 
We offer to the public rooted vines and oattings of the most complete and magnifi- 
cent collection of foreign grapes to be found in California aud the United States, a good 
many of those varieties having been procured, at gx'eat expense, from abroad. 
All the varieties marked with an asterisk (*) have not yet fruited with us; and as we 
have taken for a rule to sell no vines nor cuttings of any variety before it has fruited in 
our vijjeyard, we would, therefore, decline any orders for such kinds. 
We are adding, every season, new varieties to our already vast collection: in this way 
have we found which are the varieties best suited to our soil and climate, and also the 
earliest kinds and the most valuable for market. Our collection of Muscats is unique, 
and comprises grapes of all colors, viz.: black, blue, marroon, red, rose, white, gray, 
green aud yellow. Our early varieties — the earliest ones to be found in the State — ripen 
as much as 25 days before " Sweet Water."'
