Shoe. 
(Patented May 29th, 1866.) 
The "CHAUfflOXS 1 ' are matte in the most 
DURABLE MANNER ami of the very BEST 
MATERIAL, and every pair 
WARRANTED. 
See what Mr. WHITE {Farmer) says: 
Shekborn, Mass,, May 29, 1870. 
The shoes came duly to hand ; all farmers know how disa- 
greeable H Is to wear boots in warm weather. I have tried 
for five years to find a shoe that would keep out the dirt 
when at work in plowed land, but had thrown away the last 
pair in disgust. When I saw your advertisement in the 
American AffrieuUitrtSt, I thought 1 would venture a pair of 
Champions. I have worn them In plowing and planting, and 
find them just the thing. My feet will be as clean at night ns 
if my boots were worn, and as free from dirt and grit. Sore 
feet, so common among farmers, is caused bv wearing shoes 
in summer that will not keep out the dirt. The Champion 
obviates this fault and will prove a blessing to farmers and 
o.thers who till the soil. As soon as vour slices become 
known to the farmers you will have large sales. I find the 
shoe just as you represented it.

A NEW WHITE GRAPE. 
The Croton is a White Grape, and is acknowledged by all 
who hare tasted it to surpass in quality and beauty any 
white grape yet introduced, that will succeed in the open 
air, and is, in delicacy of flesh and flavor, fully equal to the 
Finest Foreign Varieties. 
It has held its foliage well in all parts of the country, and 
In mnny places better than any other variety. Will undoubt- 
edly prove to be a most valuable market grape. 
the $mmm& 
Is a black grape; the vine a healthy, vigorous grower, with 
every appearance of a pure native, but its fruit more closely 
resembles the fleshy foreign grapes than any variety that 
has as yet been introduced. It is considered by some of our 
best pomologists as the finest hardy grape they have tasted. 
For fine cut of Croton Grape, and further description, his- 
tory of origin, reports of success in various localities, list of 
premiums awarded, etc., etc., send for circular.
