Grape Vices — New Arrangement. 
We offer for spring planting a large and general assort- 
ment of grape vines comprising the entire stock recently 
purchased of C W.GRANT. Wc have strong plants of all 
the leading varieties ; but largest stock of lona, Delaware, 
Israella, Diana Ives, and Concord, which wc offer at very 
low prices, in cither large or small quantities. 
Terms to Clubs are especially favorable. 
"With the purchase made of C. W. GRANT, we have be- 
come the possessors of the stock of vines of 
The Eumelaii di-rape, 
which stands alone in Its quality among black grapes, and is 
unapproachable in its excellence for the table, and espe- 
cially for red wine. This is the only new grape exhibiting 
marked and distinctive superiority over the now popular 
sorts, and it is offered as a grape far above all others in its 
adaptation to meet the wants of the present time. 
THE EtHlELAN originated at Fislikill, on the Hud- 
sou. 
THE EU3IELAN has had upwards of thirty years* 
trial. 
THE EL'MELAN has been growing on trial in nearly 
every northern State. 
THE EUMELAJIT wherever grown, has proved a suc- 
cess. 
THE ETJMEIjAIV is vigorous, hardy, and productive. 
THE EUMELAJI ripens uniformly and perfectly all 
through. 
THE ETJMELAIV is two weeks earlier than the Del- 
aware. N 
THE ETJMELAJV is as sugary, rich, and sprightly as 
lona. 
THE EUMELAN has not a vestige of foxiness, or any 
impurity in its flavor. 
THE EUMELAN is not only the best black grape for 
the table, but * 
THE EUMELAN is the only unexceptional black 
grape in quality. 
THE EUMELAN 1 is the beet grape for red wine. 
THE EUMELAN must be in general demand, 
and the wood for propagation will be sold at high rates for 
several years, as has been the case with other new varieties 
of merit. Vines planted this spring will produce cuttings 
during the first two years, to the value of many times the 
cost of the vines. Therefore buy and plant early, securing 
the best vines. 
Prices of THE EUMELAN, for this spring, are as follows : 
No. 1, one-year-old, onedozen or less, Each. Doz. Hundred. 
by mail, prepaid $3,00 $30 $200 
Extra, one-year-old, one dozen or less, 
by mail, prepaid 5.00 -13 330 
No. 1, two-year-old, one dozen or less, 
by mail, prepaid 6.00 60 400 
No. 2, two-year-old, one dozen or less, 
by mail, prepaid 4.00 36 260 
Repeated inquiries having been received for wood for 
grafting old vines, wc have concluded to offer strong two- 
eye cuttings at $1.00 each. Twelve cuttings (24 buds) for 
§9.00, or one hundred buds for propagation for $30. 
Liberal inducements are offered to Club Agents or can- 
vassers. 
The Trade are invited to add THE EUMELAN to their 
list, and will be supplied with the vines at a liberal discount. 
Enclose stamp for pamphlet with price-list, and thirty 
years' history of the EUMELAN. Address
