THE 
umelan Grape. 
This Grape, which is the last variety disseminated by T>v. 
C. W. Grant, has, during the past year, more than sus- 
tained its character for hardiness, vigor of growth, health 
of foliage, and fruitfulness of vine ; while its earliness oi' 
ripening is everywhere well established, and the superior 
quality of its fruit already admitted by every one who has 
tasted it. • 
The Ettmelax was awarded the following first premiums 
for quality during the Fall of 1869: 
Pennsylvania Hort'l Society (Philadelphia) Sept. 13-16 
Ohio State Fair (Toledo) Sept. 13-16 
New York State Fair (Elmira) Sept. 13-16 
Geneva Horticultural Society (Geneva, X. Y.) Sept. 25-2G 
Hammondsport Grape Exhibition Sept. 29-30 
Jf. Y. S. Grape-Growers' Exhibition (Canandaigua)Oct. 5- G 
Ohio Grape-Growers' Association (Cleveland) Oct. 13-1 1 
Lake Shore Grape-Growers' Association (Erie, Pa.) Oct. 15-16 
These are the strongest commendations of its quality. 
We have grown the present season a large stock of vines 
of this valuable grape which will be ready for delivery early 
in October. Our stock also comprises a good supply of two 
and three-year-old vines, which have been grown with 
especial reference to early fruiting. 
At the time of sending this advertisement to the Aiiierican 
Agriculturist f»r insertion in the September number, many 
bunches of the Eumelan are already highly colored, and 
palatable — nearer ripe than most of grapes sent to market 
last fall. "VTe have no other grape ot even tolerable quality 
ripening as early as the Eumelan. Prices reduced last season. 
We desire to insure the formation of a Club for the pur- 
chase of the EmrELAX in every village, from Maine to Kan- 
sas, and offer vines to clubs in large or small quantities, at 
prices so low that all can afford to purchase, giving large 
commissions and premium vines to the getter-upof the club, 
for his trouble in securing and forwarding the orders.
