GRAPES. 
Table, Baisin and Wine Vabibties. 
No Phylloxera in our Mountains. 
We offer to the public rooted vines and onttings of the most complete and magnificent 
collection of foreign grapes to be found in California and the United States, a good many 
of those varieties having been procured, at great 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 vineyard, 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, maroon, red, rose, white, gray, green 
and yellow. Our early varieties — the earliest ones to be found in the State — ripen as much 
as 25 days before " Sweet Water." 
Our space does not permit to give a full description of each variety, many of which, 
however, are extra fine ones.
