Would call the attention of Dealers and Planters to his 
extensive stock of Grape vines, and especially to the Con- 
cord and lona varieties. 
Onr vines have always been unsurpassed by anv in mar- 
ket, and our aim is nut only to keep up their well known 
standard of excellence, but to produce, if possible, still bet- 
ter plants than Ave have had heretofore. 
Having a very large number in course of propagation, 
we are enabled to sell at very low prices where quantities 
arc taken, and all parties intending to purchase will find it 
greatly to their interest to examine our stock and prices 
before purchasing elsewhere. Last year the demand for 
onr plants was so large that wc were not able to lill one half 
of our orders. Therefore, send vour orders in earlv to se- 
cure the best plants. Address G. E. MEISSNER.

It does away entirely with tbc need and use of all expen-

«fcc., in vessels of any size and kind, by simplv corking them 
or tying paper or cloth saturated with Paraffin, or with 
Rosin and Wax over them. AY lien opened the fruit will keep 
for 1 to 2 mouths during winter, or 2 to -1 weeks during sum- 
mer—fully exposed to" the air— giving ample time "to use 
them from large vessels as wanted. 
I twill preserve with or without sugar. It is the only reliable 
method for preserving cider. Every dairvman wants it dur-

24 to 3ii hours longer than it will naturally keep— causing it 
to furnish more cream.

CHARLES DOWNING. 
This new Seedling was raised by J. S. Downer, of Ken- 
tucky*, and is justly entitled to bear the name of this first 
Pomblogist of America. It is a Seedling of Downer's Prolific. 
The plant is more vigorous and productive than its parent; 
fruit enormously large, solid, firm enough for market, scarlet, 
and of the finest flavor. The great vigor of this plant ena- 
bles it to mature all its fruit to a large size. The leaves are 
very large, and stand a foot high ; flowers perfect. A bed of 
this variety set out the first ot Oct-. Inst, in my garden, was 
picked over on the ISth of June, by John C. Thompson, of 
Staten Island, N. Y. ; of a fair average of the berries selected, - 
28 weighed one pound. Mr. Downer informs me that several 
of his neighbors have grown them from plants one year old, 
weighing over one ounce each. Mr. Greeley having ofl'ered a 
prize of "$50.00 for a better berry in every respect than the 
Wilson, this berrv has been entered for the prize, and sub- 
mitted to the Committee. Mr Greeley requires it to be 
tested by two years trial, consequently the award cannot be 
made tins season. ^Ve understand, however, that the Com- 
mittee consider it far in advance of any other seedling. 
Charles Downing, one of the Committee, savs : 
Newburgh, July 5th, 1SG7. 
"Downer's new Seedling is certainly a very promising sort, 
and from what I have seen this season, think it will prove 
an acquisition, and fax rigor, productiveness, size and qual- 
ity, combined, think it superior to any new sort. Tlie name- 
ins it Charles Downing prevents me from saying much about 
it."— Chas. Downing, we propose sending out plants after 
the 15th Sept., in rotation, asordered, at the following rates: 
3 plants, S2.00; 6 plants, $3; 12 plants, $5; 100, $25; 500, $S5; 
1,000 plants, $150. Twenty per cent, deducted for cash 
orders, received this fall, plnnts deliverable next spring.

an abundant crop in spring, but continued flowering and 
fruiting till late in the Autumn."

ferent parts of the countrv, and stronglv recommended.
