PLANT ONE VINE 
OF THE 
EUMELAN 
GRAPE, 
And become convinced of the great 'superiority over all 
the early varieties previously introduced. We have spared 
no pains nor expense in learning of its general adaptability 
to and success In the various sections of the United States 
where the vines have been planted for trial. Our efforts in 
gaining this knowledge have been rewarded by the most 
gratifying success in finding the vines everywhere healthy 
and vigorous in growth, and the fruit so greatly superior in 
quality to that of the varieties generally grown as to win 
for the Eumelan first premiums for quality wherever ex- 
hibited. 
As in Mr. Thome's grounds at Fishkill, where the original 
stock of these vines was purchased, so it will be wherever 
they are planted. The Concord and Hartford Prolific grapes, 
grown upon vines planted side by side with the Eumelan, re- 
mained neglected upon the vines until they dropped off or 
were picked for market, while the Eumelan were eagerly 
chosen as the best fruit of the garden. 
The EUMELAN is a black grape, with berries about the 
size of the Concord. The bunches are of large size, elegant 
form, and proper degree of compactness. The berries are 
covered with a fine wax-like bloom, and adhere firmly to 
the bunches long after ripening. Unlike the Concord, the 
Eumelan bears carriage well, and, if properly packed, al- 
ways reaches its destination in best condition. Dr. Grant 
describes the Eumelan, attributing to it the following spe- 
cial qualifications, which are requisite to make a grape of 
excellence for table use : 
First : Meaty, uniform texture of tender, melting flesh, 
that all goes to wine-like juice under slight pressure of the 
tongue. Second : Ripening evenly and perfectly all through, 
and as soon at the center as at the circumference. Third : 
Flavor pure and refined, very sugary, rich, and vinous, with 
a large degree of that refreshing quality that belongs dis- 
tinctly to the best foreign wine-grapes, and constitutes the 
crowning excellence of grapes for all uses. For late keep- 
ing, bearing exposure well, and long transportation to mar- 
ket, it is all that can be desired. For making Red "Wine it 
has no near competitor among American grapes. 
The following testimonials are similar to hundreds receiv- 
ed from persons who have planted the Eumelan : 
Little Falls, N. T., Aug. 29, 1ST0. 
Messes. Hasbkotjck & Bushnell. 
Gents: I have one Eumelan Vine, which I purchased of 
Dr. Grant when he first commenced disseminating them. He 
desired me to take the agency for the vines at that time, but 
I did not like to recommend to my friends what I could not 
vouch for personally. The vine grew three canes the second 
season, each one about twelve feet, and bore several splen- 
didly formed bunches of fruit of finest quality. I am now 
fully satisfied with the Eumelan, and can conscientiously 
introduce the same, if you will give me the agency for this 
place, believing it a great acquisition. 
Tours respectfully, Titus Sheaed.

Messes. Hasbkotjck & Bushnell. 
I have thousands of grape-vines growing, but none so re- 
markable as the Eumelan sent me for trial by Dr. C. "W. 
Grant. To be more vigorous would be considered an objec- 
tion, and in healthfulness and productiveuess it is equal to 
any of my twenty varieties. The fruit ripens with me before 
the Delaware, and is the best black grape I have ever seen. 
My vineyard now contains 1,000 Eunielans, and I intend 
planting more next spring. How can you furnish the vines? 
There will be many wanted in this vicinity, and all along 
the south shore of Lake Erie. 
Tours truly, M. A. Stevenson. 
The Etjitelan was awarded the following first premiums 
for quality during the fall of 1S69:

Lake Shore Grape-Growers' Assoc'n (Erie, Pa.).. Oct. 15-16 
American Institute Sept. 25, 1S70 
Also at many other important exhibitions. 
These are the strongest commendations of its quality, and 
the universal success of this Grape during another season of 
trial— this year of 1ST0— proving every where hardy and 
vigorous, as well as productive of an abundance of fruit of 
first quality, entitles it to the first place In every collection, 
either in garden or vineyard, for family use, for market, 
or for wine.
