Has removed his Office to 53 Cedar-9t., New York. 
The Subscriber -would call the attention of Dealers and 
Planters to his extensive stock of Grapevines, and especi- 
ally to tlie Concord and Iona varieties. 
Our vines have always been unsurpassed bv anv in mar- 
ket and our aim is not only to keep up their well known 
standard of excellence, but to pioduce, if possible, still bet- 
ter plants than we have had heretofore. 
Having avervlarse number in course of propagation, 
we are enabled to sell at very low prices where quantities 
are taken, and all parties intending to purchase will find it 
freatly to their interest to examine our stock and prices 
efore purchasing elsewhere. Last year the demand for 
our plants was solarsre that we were not able to fill one half 
of our orders. Therefore, send your orders in early to se- 
cure the best plants. Address G. E. MEISSNER,

SPEAR'S PRESERVING SOLUTION 
Will effectually prevent fermentation or decay, and pre- 
serve all kinds or fruits, vegetables, cider, milk, &c, &C., in 
a perfectly fresh and wholesome condition, without sugar— 
and without air-fcighting — hence a saving of sugar, and 
from 50 to 75 per cent, in the cost of jars. 
The solution is warranted to contain nothing injurious to 
health. 
Fruits preserved bv it are equal to the best "canned" 
fruits, while its use admits of keeping the fruit, &c, in large 
vessels, and using them at long intervals when opened. 
It will preserve milk sweet from 12 to 36 hours longer than 
it will naturally keep, causing it to furnish more cream in 
hot weather. 
Give it a trial and be convinced of its merits and great 
advantages over all other methods. 
One bottle will preserve 12S lbs. of fruit, or 43 gallons of 
cider, or 128 gallons of milk. Full directions for using with 
each bottle. Price, $1 per bottle; 6 bottles for $5; or 12 bot- 
tles for $9. Good discount to dealers, ask your Merchant 
for it, or form club and send price for 6 or 12 bottles, and re- 
ceive it by express from the nearest one of the following
