GRAPES. 
It is a fact worthy of the attention of all who arc about to 
plant vines, that the lona and Israella Grapes lave been 
rapidly gaining in reputation despite of all adverse interests 
and consequent efforts at disparagement, while all others 
have been losing in comparison. 
The few adverse reports of last season should have in- 
cluded all other kinds also, for all of the same age sufTercd 
equally, and none would diavc suffered at all under the 
proper course of management as directed in ''The. Manual. 1 ' 
From all the great "West, (with exception only of part of 
Missouri), as well as from all other quarters generally, Tve 
have the same favorable reports, (from good plants under 
fair treatment), while the quality of the fruit distances all 
competitors for table and for wine. Israella is also an ex- 
cellent wine-grape, as shown by trial. 
I offer vines for garden and vineyard of excellent qnnliiy 
at most favorable rates to purchasers. 
For Price Lislsand account of performance as shown by 
testimonials from all quarters, send stamp. 
" Manual of the Vine," a full, thorough treatise, most pro- 
fnsely illustrated, sent for fifty cents.
