[AUOOTT, 
GRAPE VINES: 
lONA AND ISRAELLA. 
"WitH all otlier valuable Hardy kinds, in- 
cluding large stocks of Dela^vare and Diana. 
The lona Propa;xating Establishment, which was the first 
ever instituted Tor the prndnction of hardy vines, has heroto- 
fore been very large— greatly surpassing in extent and apiiU- 
ances any others of the kind that have sprung up In imitatian 
of It; hot it has not been able to supply tlie demand for 
plants. The past year the stock of the most desirable kinds 
was all ordered la the early part of the season, and many 
applicants were greatly disappointed by not being able to 
obtain as many as they wished of the most desirable plants. 
For the purpose of producing the excellent new varieties of 
the best possible quality in sufficient numberto satisfy the In- 
creaains demand, the means of production have tliis season 
been very greatly enlarged, and no Improvement has been 
omitted which my knowledge and experience have susrgested 
that will tend to facilitate the propagation of a greatly in- 
creased supply of plants that will produce the best results 
as to hardy vigor and early bearing in Garden and Vineyard, 
for table use and for wine. 
The character of the Delaware for excellence and value Is 
now so well estalillshed that all good Judges of grapes have 
accepted it as a standard of comparison, for which It Is most 
admirably fitted. 
The important points In which the Delaware is surpassed 
by the new seedlings lona and Israella, and which rank 
them as the best grapes in cultivation, are also well ascer- 
tained and generally aflmitted. I have spared no care or 
cost this season to obtain a stock of plants that will In- 
crease the well earned reputation of these kinds aawell as 
that of the lona Establishment. 
The Vines at present give promise of surpassing those of 
any former season tn healthful vigor, and I do not hesitate 
to oITer them under the assurance of unequalled quality. 
It is of great importance for the hardy and enduring rigor 
Of Vines, and for early bearing and continued productive- 
neas. that the plants should not only be propagated In the 
best manner, but from the beat wood from mature stocks. In 
this respect as well as In other essential points, I may claim 
a great advantage for my present stock of lona and Isra- 
ella plants, which have been produced with the greatest 
care from wood grown for that special purpose, and such as 
no other can command. 
I am happy to Invite special attention to these new varieties 
(Zona and Israella^ which this season show even a greater 
Buperiorlty over all the other kinds than heretofore, in the 
certainty and abundance of their produce. 
"While other kinds that have been unduly and injudiciously 
praised through ignorance or otherwise, have fallen back In 
reputation toward their proper station, these have advanced 
in liie front rank which they had already firmly attained, and 
the lona may safely be said to have no competitor In value. 
There Is much of Importance pertaining to vines and their 
management that Is better and more clearly learned by Inr 
Bpectlon than by the fullest account, and In consequence, I 
Invite all who are Interested in the subject to call at lona 
Island, and examine both the young plants and the bearing 
vines. Peeksklll, the station for lona. is less than one hour 
and three-quarters fVom New-Vork, and only about three 
hours from Albany, and not less than twelve trains pass each 
way daily. 
My own boats are generally at the station to meet passen- 
gers by the morning Express trains to convey them to the 
Island. 
In addition to these. Mr. James Ten Eyck. one of the best of 
boatmen, has established a regular line of boats for the con- 
Teyance of passengers to and from the Island, meeting all of 
the principal trains during the day. He is provided for the 
comfortable conveyance of passengers in any weather at es- 
tai>li9hed charges which are very moderate. 
For a full account of my publications on the subject, see 
the July number of American A£:riculturist.

The first named pamphlet Is filled with such matter as In- 
quirers on the suliject wish to find at the beginning of 
their investigations preparatory to purchasing, with full ta- 
bles of the contents of the others. 
Besides these and of mucli importance la the proposition 
for the formation of Clubs. This shows the best and cheap- 
est method of obtaining vines and is tiiat by which my Im- 
mense stocks have been chiefly sold the past two years, with 
general high satisfaction. Tliese propositions are worthy of 
the attention of dealers and all others. 
The premiums for the formation of Clubs are not only 
very liberal, but enable persons witliout cost of money, to 
obtain vines of special quality that can not be procured In 
any other way.

These vines are grown from single eyes of well-matnred 
wood. — After many years' experience in growing vines, we 
have for three years past discarded the pot culture, because 
It induces a cramped condition of the roots, from which they 
with diflicult}' recover. 
Our vines are therefore grown In broad borders, where 
having perfect freedom, theymake 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.
