plants are the largest and best of our stock, and their aver- 
age quality is not allowed to be diminished by selecting the 
largest for retailing as extras. 
All the Vines thus offered are grown without bottom beat, 
from well ripened wood, and in good, deep soil, not injured 
by extra manuring. 
For List of other sorts, we refer to our Descriptive Cata-
