GRAPE VINES FROM THE KNOX VINEYARDS. 
The largest and best Stock -we have ever offered. Including 
all the Old and New Varieties of any merit. 
What we do not, and what we do claim for our Vines : 
We do not claim that they are superior to all other Vines 
in the market. Other propagators, with similar advan- 
tages, may produce equally as cjood. 
"We do claim that the quality of our Vines is unsurpassed 
by any in the Country, and that they will give entire satis- 
faction to the purchaser in their growth and yield of 
fruit. We found tin's claim on the following facts: 
First.— Our Vines are grown from Mature Wood, taken 
from our bearing Vineyards, thus securing health and cor- 
rectness. We use no green wood in propagating, and grow 
Grapes a3 well as Vines. 
Second.— We start our Vines in propagating houses, and 
as early as tie weather will admit turn them out into the 
open ground, where they are carefully cultivated during the 
entire growing season. 
We regard this system of producing Vines as the very best, 
and much preferable to that of growing them under glass, 
with their roots cramped in pots. 
We secure by our mode, healthy, stocky and well rooted 
Vines. 
Third.— Onr soil is peculiarly well adapted to the pro- 
duction of Vines of the best quality, and we use no stimu- 
lants to excite an nnnatnral growth. 
THE CONCORD 
did not need the strong endorsement it has received the past 
year, as the People had already decided that it is the Grape 
of America. But it is worthy of note that in addition to its 
continuance in well-doing, it has been awarded, without any 
effort or management on the part of its friends, the 
GREELEY PRB2E 
as the Grape of the greatest value. The eminent Pomo- 
logists who made the award took ample time and unusual 
pains to arrive at a correct conclusion, and however in- 
terested parties may demur, the People are well satisfied 
with the decision. As evidence of this, at a late trade sale 
of vines— largely advertised all over the country— while 
other leading varieties would not sell, in quantity, at one- 
third the Catalogue prices, all the Concords offered were 
sold at twenty-three per cent, above Catalogue prices. 
Our opinion of the Concord is well known, and we un- 
hesitatingly re-affirm all we have said in its favor, and pro- 
nounce it the most valuable Grape in America yet tested. It 
is to be hoped that seedlings from it will take the highest 
rank among the Grapes of the country. 
The proper place to determine the merits of a Grape is in 
the Vineyard, when in fruit. 
For a number of years we have held on our grounds, dur- 
ing the fruiting season. Grape Exhibitions, which have been 
largely attended by the most prominent fruit growers of the 
country, all of whom, in their examination of our Vine- 
yards, have been enthusiastic in their praise of the Concord. 
We refer to such men as Dr. Jno. A. Warder, Author of 
"American Pomology;" Geo.Hussmann, Author of "Grapes 
and WiJie;" Wm. Saunders, Supt. of Gov't Gardens, Wash- 
ington City ; Prof. G- Thurber, Editor of American Agri- 
culturist; A. Thomson, of Delfiioare; R. E. Mason, of St. 
Louis, and many others. 
Our Grape Show this Year will be on the 16th and 17th 
of October. Strawberry Show, 12th and 13th of June. 
Both promise to be of unusual interest. 
The Concord is no longer on trial. If it were, overwhelm- 
ing evidence could be produced in its favor from all parts of 
the country. 
Propagators, aware of its great popularity, and the im- 
mense demand there will be for Vines, are making every 
effort to increase their Stock. 
Notwithstanding we publish that we will not part with 
any Cuttings— needing all for our own use— we have the 
most urgent orders for Wood. 
William Griffith, of North East, Pa., writes under date of 
Jan. 18th, 1867 : " I want a portion of your immense Stock of 
Concord Wood, say 500,000 Cuttings." 
As we sell no Wood, and have greatly iucreased oar 
facilities for growing Vines, our customers may reasonably 
expect to be supplied. 
Our Stock of Concords this season is very large and 
superior, which we offer on most favorable terms. 
For further information send 10 cents for Catalogue. 
We have also a large supply of 
HARTFORD, CREVELECG, IVES, REXTZ, 
ELSINGBURG, MAXA.TAWNY, DELAWARE, 
DIANA, ROGERS' HYBRIDS, IOXA, 
ISRAELLA and ADIRONDACK. 
Also a limited quantity of 
MARTHA and BLACK HAWK, 
(Seedlings of the Concord,) which we think will prove thd 
two most -valuable new Grapes now before 
the public. 
For description of above, and much other valuable ln j 
formation on Grape Culture, send 10 cts. for Catalogue.
