offer for thu Fall Trade, 600,000 Grapes of all the best varieties, including 
Delaware, loiia, Israella, Concord, Hartford Prolific, I>iana, 
CrCYclisig;, Adirondac, and many other fine sorts. 
Among these is the IVKS S*B'^Kl>I^I3«jJ, a grupe wliicli is now being planted about Cincin- 
nati, on a very large scale. It is saiil ueitlier to rot nor mildew, and during the last year on our own 
premises, its leaf was always as fresh and clean as that of a Maple. A letter from Isaac F. Waring, 
in the Cincinnati Gazelle, states its average product to be five hundred gallons per acre. J. McCuL- 
LOUGH & Son, of Cincinnati, write, that in 1854, one Vineyard of 1,.500 plants made 1,600 gallons which 
were sold at four dollars per gallon. It is said to be superior to Norton's Virginia. 
All these different varieties will be sold at their usual low jirices by the hundred, lower still by the 
thousand, and yet lower where ten thousand are taken.

J[0,000 Barrels of Lodi Poudrette 
For sale in lots to suit pnrciiasers. Tliis Bou- 
drette has been on the market for 26 years, and 
has held its place among all other fertilizers 
as the Be.st mid Cheapest, being sold 
for S40 per ton less than other fertilizers, with 
just as good results. It is manufactured from 
the night soil of New York City, which the 
subscribers have the exclusive contract for 
removing to tlieir works. Its clnef recommendations are its 
economy, the quick growth it gives to the plant, ripening a 
crop from two to three weeks earlier, and an increased yield 
of 50 to 100 per cent. It is used most exLen-iively upon Corn, 
Tobacco, Potatoes, and Garden Vegetables. Is perfectly in- 
odorous, harmless to vegetation, can be applied directly to 
the seed without injury, and yet is as powerful as Peruvian 
Guano, and unlike Guano, does not leave Ilie .soil in an ex- 
hausted condition. A pamphlet with the experience in its 
use of several hundred farmers in difl'erent parts of the 
United States, some of them having used it for over 20 years, 
will be sent to any person applying to our address.
