GRAPE VINES: 
lONA AND ISRAELLA, 
Witli all otiier valuablt hai-dy kinds, in- 
cluding large stocksof Oela ware and Diana. 
The lona and Israella wherpver known are admitted 
to be the best hardy Rrape.^ in ca-:ivatlon. 
My establishment has heretofore been very extensive, bnt 
this season, for the purpose of prodaclog plants of these new 
varieties of greatest possible excellence In sufficient number 
to satisfy the Increasing demand, it has been very greatly 
enlarged, and nothing has been omitted which my experi- 
ence and knowledge have suirgested for enabling me to se- 
cure a large supply of plants that will produce the best re- 
Bults as to hardy and vigorous productiveness in Garden and 
Vineyard, for table use and for wine. 
It Is of great Importance for the hardy and enduring vigor 
of vines, and for early bearing and continued productive- 
ness, that the plant should not only be propagated In the 
best manner, but from the best wood from mature stock. 
In this respect I may claim a great advantage for this sea- 
son's stock of lona and Israella plants which have 
been produced with the greatest care from wood grown for 
that special purpose, and such as no others can command. 
To meet the wants of the present time In regard to the 
vine I have prepared the following publications 
First.— Descriptive Catalogue, a large pam- 
phlet of Thirty-two pages, the chief object of which Is to de- 
scribe accurately all of the native vines that are worthy of 
attention, and to exhibit their relative importance and value, 
and to state the conditions of success in grape-culture In 
garden and vineyard, for fruit, for the table, and for wine, 
with some account of "real Wine" and wine-making. It 
contains more than Fifty engravings, showing many of the 
best plans for training on buildings, and In garden and 
vineyard. 
Second.— Illustrated Catalogue, which contains 
an accountof the characteristics and qualities of the leading 
kinds of native grapes, but Is chiefly designed to be a thor- 
ough practical treatise on the management of the vine from 
the preparation of the soil to the gathering of the fruit. It 
contains more than Eighty engravings, chiefly drawn from 
actual vines, and Is the result of the experience of many 
years earnestly devoted to the management of vines, and of 
very extended careful observation. 
Thinl.— Manual of tlie Vine— The two foregoing 
are bound together in flexible covers, and in this form called 
"Manual of the Vine." and It claims to he the most thorough 
and comprehensive treatise on the subject In the language. 
Fourtli.^For full tables of contents of the foregoing,

Vines witU some Account «f tlie Four best 
Hardy kinds, -ivitlk Description of the stock

liists of Vines single and per Hundred.^* 
Pifdi.— Propositions for the formation of Clubs. This 
shows the best and cheapest method of obtaining vines and 
Is that by which my Immense stock have been chiefly sold 
the past two years, with general high satisfaction.

that have not heretofore been satisfied.

These vines are grown fi-ora single eyes of well-matured 
wood.— After many years' experience in growing vine^we 
have for three years past discarded the pot culture, because 
it Induces a cramped condition of the roots, ft-om which they 
with difficulty recover. 
Our vines are therefore grown In broad borders, where 
having perfect freedom, they make substantial woody roots, 
full of fibre eyes. 
The reports returned to us of the rapid and luxuriant 
growth of those we have furnished In past years, enables us 
to recommend these with entire confidence. 
For three years our stock has been exhausted In the au- 
tumn and subsequent applicants have been disappointed. 
Those therefore who wish them should order early.
