old vines of the 
EUMELAX (iBAFi:, 
which Dr. C. W. Grant esteems to be the most valuable varie- 
ty ever yet introduced. It is an early, black grape, of first 
quality, equaling either Delaware or lona for richness as a 
table fruit, and makes red wine superior to Norton's Vir- 
ginia, or any other American gi ape. 
Ripening as early as Hartford Prolific, and being entirely 
hardy, it can be successfully grown in northern latitudes, 
and will be of great value everywhere as an early market 
grape.

Eunaclan with full assurance that grapes of surpassing ex- 
cellence may be obtained by using an average degree of 
skill in cultivation. The Euniclan vines we oiler are grown
