the Iona and Israella generally 
throughout all of the vine- region of the country, leaves no 
doubt in the minds of those "best informed, that upon these 
now rests chiefly the prospect of the eminent success of 
grape culture in America. 
Attention to the record of the Iona during the past four 
years will be instructive to all who desire to plant vines for 
any purpose throughout the whole vine-growing region of 
the country. (See statement of its performance, page 4241) 
My stock of these kinds is very large, and of surpassing 
quality. My unequaled facilities and the result of the past 
years warrant the belief that I can make more advan- 
tageous terms to. buyers than can be done by any other 
propagator. Price List sent on application with stamp.
