MY STOCIi OF THE lOXA AXD ISRAELLA VINES, 
BOTH GUOWN IX OPEN AIR, AND UNDER GLASS. IS 
rEllY EXTENSIVE, COMPUISING PLANTS SPECIALLY 
ADAPTED FUU THE GARDEN. AND ALSO FOR THE 
VINEYARD. 
The past winter of great severity has added ita weitjlit of 
conflnnation to the well-estiibliohed character of the lONA 
and ISRAELLA, for hardy endurance and constancy of 
production. 
There remains no doubt In the minds of the most judicious 
observers, tliat upon these two chiefly rests tlie promise of 
eminent success in American Grape Culture, for fruit and 
for wine. (Sec *'' Present and Future of American 
Grape Culture: ) 
"The ZONA equals the best European kinds in richness, 
pnrity and refinement, and in the uniform melting quality 
of its flcFh, which can not be said of any other American 
grape.*' 
"It is unequalled for One, rich, enduring wine ; Its centre 
being free from all unripeness, is an incalcnhilile advantage 
* over all other American kinds that have been used for that 
purpose. It is only with such grapes as tliis that we can 
equal the flue wines of Europe.'* 
Tiiose grown from single eyes are from the best of wood 
prepared for tlie purpose of making the most healthy and 
enduring plants. 
1 have also a fine stock from green-wood cuttings that are 
the best of their class, and very cheap by llic thousand. 
For many years I liave sedulously prosecuted the purpose 
of producing the best possible plants of Grape Vines, and 
since the surpassing merits of the lona and Israella became 
established, I have yearly added greatly to mj' means of 
propagation, always having chief regard to the quality of 
the plants for early and abundant bearing, and for liardy 
vigor. 
My plants have been extensively disseminated throughout 
the entire Vine-growing resion of the United States, and in 
other countries. Their uncQualled excellence, as well 
as that of the packing, has been everywhere acknowl- 
edged, and the demand for the best quality of plants 
lias greatly exceeded tlic supply. The present season my 
cniargementshavc been mueli greater than over before, with 
important improvements for promoting the strength of the 
plants, which has been done without increase of price to 
purchasers, although the quality has greatly advanced. 
The prices of lONA and ISRAELLA Vines of first garden 
quality are now so low that all who have ground in wliich to 
plant them can nfi'ord to obtain enough vines at once, to 
ftu'nish an early and abundant family supply of the best of 
fruits. 
All Who are interested arc invited to visit the Island, and 
inspect the vines. The Hudson River iiassenger trains all 
stop at Peekskill, where boats are in readiness to con- 
vey passengers to the Island, two miles distant, foi^ mod- 
crate compensation. 
Samples of Garden-Vines of loua and Israella, Nos. 1 and 
2, three plants each, or the same of cither number will be 
Bent on receipt of the prices per dozen, with fifty cents addi- 
tional for cost of sending. One dozen Vineyard Vines will 
be sent us above, at price per hundred. 
To Dealers and those who desh-e to plant largely, I am 
able tooffera number of lots that cannot well bo represented 
by samples, at very favorable rates. Many who have called 
to examine os to quality have found my No. S, better than 
they had c-vpccted to find No. 1. and have also found the 
purchase of special lots very advantageous. 
Those who purchase by sample, will be assured of receiv- 
ing the quality represented, and all will be guaranteed the 
safe arrival of the Vines In perfect condition at the Depot 
designated.
