Would call the attention of Dealers and Planters to his ex- 
tensive stock of Grape Vines, and especially to the 
CONCORD A^E> HO^fA. 
Our Concord vines this year, are pronounced by those who 
have examined them to be far superior to those ordinarily 
grown, and we challenge comparison with any other relia- 
ble establishment, both in price and excellence of plants. 
By our system of growing and in our soil the roots of the 
vines attain the highest point of perfection, and it is to this 
in particular that we would direct the attention of pur- 
chasers and planters. 
PRICE OF CONCORD VINES. 
1st Class, 25c. each ; $2.00 per doz. ; $0.00 per 50 ; $10 per 100 ; 
$75 per 1,000 ; $700 per 10,000. 
2d Class, 20c. each ; $1.50 per doz. ; $1.50 per 50 ; $S per 100 ; 
$60 per 1,000; $550 per 10,000. 
Our stock of IOIVA vines is also of the highest excellence, 
and will compare favorably with those of any other grower. 
This excellent variety is fast gaining a reputation which 
promises to supersede all others. No person setting out a 
vineyard should fail to plant it extensively. The reports 
which we hear this year from nearly all parts of the country 
are of the most favorable character. We can furnish vines 
of this variety in any quantity, by the single vine or 10,000, 
at as low rates as equally good plants can be obtained from 
any reliable grower. We warrant all our plants true to 
name, and of the quality stated. 
Of all the other leading varieties we have a well selected 
stock, which we offer at the lowest rates, for which we 
refer to our Price List. We would here only mention a 
beautiful lot of Hartford Prolific, which is undoubt- 
edly the most reliable and profitable early market grape 
which we have. 
Also a verysuperior lotof Diana vines, both 1 & 2 years old. 
CLINTON VINES.-Of this excellent and profitable 
wine grape we have a choice lot of plants. Price; 1st Class, 
25c. each ; $2.00 per doz. ; $G per 50 ; $3 per 103 ; $65 per 1,000 ; 
$600 per 10,000.

UNIVERSAL CLOTHES WRINGER. 
Cannot be surpassed or equaled by any other Wringer for 
durability, till the expiration of the patent for the "COG 
WHEEL REGULATOR" or "STOP-GEAR." No other 
Wringer is licensed under this Patent. It being now uni- 
versally conceded that Cogs are necessary to prevent the 
Rolls from being broken or torn loose, many attempts have 
been made to get a Cog-Wheel arrangement which shall 
equal the UNIVERSAL, and yet avoid the "Stop-Gear" 
paicnt, but xcithout success. 
Any Cog- Wheel Wringer having Cogs, whether at one or 
both ends of the roll, which can play apart and fly out of 
gear when a large article is passing through, is COMPAR- 
ATIVELY WORTHLESS, as the Cogs are then of no aid 
when most needed, and an arrangement of Cog-Wheels in 
fixed bearings, the upper one acting on a roll in movable 
bearings, must prove a mechanical failure in use, and we 
warn all persons not to purchase such Wringers as an "im- 
provement on the Universal," which they are sometimes 
represented to be by the salesmen. 
Many who sell the UNIVERSAL WRINGER keep also the 
WASHING 
MACHINE, 
) 
which, though but 
recently introduced, 
is really as great a 
Laisok and Clothes 
Savek as the Wring- 
er, and is destined to 
win public favor and 
patronage every- 
where. 
It washes perfect}}/, 
without wearing or 
rubbing the clothes 
at all. 
Those keeping the 
Wringer for sale, 
— tM-^S*- order the Washer 
for customers, if they have not got a supply on hand. On 
receipt of the Retail price, from places where no one is sell- 
ing, we will send either or both machines from New York. 
Prices— Family Washer, $14. No. \ l A Wringer, $10. No. 
2 Wringer, $S.5u. 
A supply of the Wringers and Washers is always kept on 
hand in Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Janesville and St, 
Louis, boxed ready for shipment, at about New York prices. 
Large profits are made selling these machines. Exclusive 
right of sale given, with no charge for the patent right. 
Circulars, giving Wholesale and Retail prices, sent free.

is mnch tlie most valuable Strawberry of

Plant the Best. — It is poor economy to grow inferior 
varieties, when the best can be obtained, though the plants 
could be had for nothing. We can make more money on 
one acre of Jucunda— Our Wo. 700, than we can on 
five of Wilson.
