Tines at TTholesale Rates to 
Clubs. 
Propositions for the formation of clubs, by which all can 
obtain vines at wholesale prices, with other advantages, will 
be sent for a stamp. The propositions may accompany the 
price list and twenty -four page pamphlet, or any of the cata- 
logues, without cost of stamp ; and I would incite the atten- 
tion of every purchaser to them for their great advantages. 
The excellence and importance of the new kinds, lona and 
Israelis, are now so well understood and appreciated that 
there is but one voice in regard to them, and that of earnest, 
enthusiastic praise from all quarters where they are known. 
These can be very cheaply obtained by clubs who buy not 
less than fifty of the vines. Early orders are necessary to 
secure the best plants. 
ENGRAVINGS OF THE ION A. 
A limited number of fine lithographic colored engravings 
of the lona Grape have been prepared at great cost, by an 
eminent artist, which exceed in truth and beauty anything 
of the kind that has been produced within our knowledge, in 
any country ; greatly surpassing tliose of the celebrated 
French artists, Grohon and Poiteau, in the brilliance and 
delicacy of their coloring, by which the transparency and 
iridescent play of light is represented. As a work of art, it 
is worthy of a place in any portfolio, or of anelegant frame 
for the walls of the library or parlor. 
Those engravings are furnished only as premiums with 
lona vines. For particulars see propositions to clubs. As our 
artist was able to complete but a limited number, we can not 
agree to furnish them throughout tlie entire season. All who 
are desirous of securing them to aid in canvassing will do 
well to send an early remittance, according to one of the 
"special propositions," 
Has the eakly bipening of the Ion a and Israella 
Grapes been obtained by any forcing appliances or 
by any other means than that of ordinary cultiva- 
tion in garden or vineyard? 
In answer, I would say both of these kinds have always 
been grown under very moderate circumstances of cultiva- 
tion, in full exposure in the open ground, and without any 
forcing appliances whatever. Their surpassing productive- 
ness, as well as unequalled quality, are from the excellence 
of the kinds as may be clearly seen by any one who will 
call and examine. 
They have always oeen open to the inspection oi the pub- 
lic at all seasons, and will continue to be eo. 
A Pamplilet of Twenty-four pages gives the full state- 
ment of the manner in which these vines were produced ; 
iu which will also be found hints for the production of 
Seedlings of all kinds, with a view to improvement. It con- 
tains a full account of the management of all of those vines 
from their prodaction from seed to the present time It Is 
sent for a two cent stamp, and I commend it to the attention 
of all who have any interest in planting vines in garden or 
vineyard. It contains also, full Tables of Contents of the 
Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogues, with Price List of 
Tines of all kinds. 
The Descriptive Catalogue is sent for ten cents, and the 
Illustrated for twenty-five cents. 
These two bound together in flexible pa per- covers, and 
called " Manual of the Vine," are sent for fifty cents. 
The Descriptive exhibits thepi-inciples and general consid- 
erations which form the basis upon which Grape-culture is 
to be successfully conducted, and is illustrated with many 
very fine and life-like Engravings. It also contains full and 
accurate descriptions of all our native kinds that are worthy 
of notice, with a clear representation of their relatiyc value 
with a chapter on " Wine Hiking." Also a lecture by Mr. 
Mead. 
The Illustrated (eighth edition) treats thoroughly of prac- 
tice and of practical results, illustrated with about eigh;y en- 
gravings. The two together constitute the most thorough, 
practical and comprehensive treatise on the Vine in the lan- 
guage. The conditions of the full measure of success are 
clearly stated, and the precise manner of performing every 
operation is so clearly shown as to be easily intelligible to 
every reader. 
p, s.— — The supply of colored engravings of the lona is 
at present exhausted, but another limited supply is in pre- 
paration, and will be ready in a few days. 
I would call the attention of all interested in good grapes 
whether for family supply or for market, to the distinctive 
excellence of the lona and Israella. 
The lona as a grape for late keeping, as well as for its ear- 
lincss, and for its quality, in which it has no competition, 
will soon render all of the inferior kintls (which are now 
recommended only for market, and not for usn), of very lit- 
tle value. The vines are offered at extremely low prices, as 
will be seen by consulting Price List and Club Propositions. 
I would also call attention to the advantage of obtaining 
vines grown from strong mature wood that has been pre- 
pared for that special purpose.

fVe take this method to inform our friends and customers 
that our large stock of grape vmes is entirely sold, and we 
were obliged to shorten the orders of many of our best cus- 
tomers. We sell only vines crown bv ourselves, none have 
been sold at auction or by agents, and we have advertised 
but little. Our plants are good, fitronc and henUhv enough 
to sell without pufling. ,I. F. DELIOT & RYDEPs

to others we claim 
for it superiority 
over the manv kinds 
now in use for the 
following reasons : 
It is broad at the bot-

upset. Shallow ana

when being transported to market, nests closely together 
when empty, and is neat, stylish, durable and cheap,
