UCKTHORN SEED WANTED— A few bushels 
or less, by L. M. WALliEK, Clinton, Oneida Co., N. Y. 
lONA ISLAND VINES. 
The price List for Spring of 1SC5 is now ready, and will be 
sent for a two-cent stamp, either alone or witii a proposition 
for formation of clubs, or t\*ith the sixteen p.ige pamphlet 
wliich gives an account of our four best native kinds, includ- 
ing a full description of the lona and Israella, 
In this connection I would call particular attention to an 
article in the December number of American Agriculturist, 
page 311, signed H. P. Byrara, in wliich he makes very grave 
charges against me, wliicli, if true, would not only justly de- 
stroy my reputation and business, but render me liable to 
prosecution by fevery purchaser of Israella Vines. 
He says " I state these facts from ray own personal obser- 
vation, and they were known to every intelligent cultivator 
on the place at the time." 
Now I would declare that all of his allegations against me 
are utterly false. 
In the first place he never saw an Israella vine in bearing 
and never saw a buncfi of the fruit. He never tasted any 
except a few very imperfect berries and long out of season. 
No such "forcing process" as he describes, or any other, 
was emploved la'^t season, or has ever been employed lor 
hastening the maturitv or improving the quality of the Isra- 
ella Grapes. These vines have always "been grown in the 
open ground and in the usual manner." except that the 
mother vine has been greatly exhausted by having lavei-s 
taken from it through a succession of years lor propagation. 
The sheltering process of which H, P. Byram attempts to 
speak, has been fully described in my Illustrated Cat:iioirue 
during the past five years, but has n^ver been applied to one 
Israella vine. 
Now I have thought " it an act of simple justice to the pub- 
lic " and all concerned, first to ask >Ir. Byram to publish 
a full retraction of these and all the other false statements 
wliich he has made concerning me, and on his refusing to do 
this I have thought in trie second place that justice require 
that I should commence prosecution againt him and tnose 
who have uttered his statements, which has been done 
accordincly. 
The Illustrated and Descriptive Catalogues are bound to- 
gether in flexilile paper covers and constitute the most 
thorough and complete treatise on the vine in the language. 
Sent for flity cents. They contain more than one hundred 
and fortv of the best engravings ever prepared for illustrat- 
ing the tre.itment ol the vine. Illustratea Catalogue, eighth 
edition sent for tv^'entv-five cents. Descriptive for ten cents. 
The last contains more than sixty fine engravings. Pam- 
phlet of sixteen pages with price list sent for two-cent stamps.
