To the Diamond While Grape Co. : Bi,oomington, 111 ., February 7, 1890. 
Gentlemen— I am some forty years in the vineyard business here, and have tried 350 
aifferent varieties, of which at least 300 are worthless, or were superseded by newer and 
better varieties, bnt I have not seen or tested yet a better white grape than the “ Diamond ” 
I believe that I was— at least in the West— the first large planter of several hundred of the 
Diamond; after I closely examined the first vine of them in root, bud and wood, I was 
favorably impressed that it “must be a superior vine. “ I watched the growth of the vine 
almost daily, and seeing and tasting the first fruit of them my mind was made up, and I 
ordered, and planted a hundred more of the vines in my experimental vineyards. The 
vines were not covered the last three falls and stood the winter at least as well as the Con- 
cord. Last year the fruit was really splendid, unsurpassed. I spread on one of the tables 
m my office a layer of grapes and kept them there for six weeks, until they got like raisins, 
and good ones. The grape is several weeks earlier than Concord, growth immense and 
fruit sets well. Yours truly, DR. H. SCHROEDER, Nurser5^man’.

Gentlemen— In reply to your favor of late date, will say the vines received from you 
two or three years ago promise well; they are full of fruit this year, fine, large clusters of 
fine quality; I think the best grape I have on my grounds out of sixty varieties. It is as 
early as Moore’s Early with me. The Diamond has m my opinion a great future. 
Yours truly, SILAS WILSON, Grape Nurseries.

Dear Sir— I n reply to yours of 21st inst., I will say that I feel confident that it is one 
of ^e most promising of all new blood, and one that bears a full crop faithfully. With so 
eminent a grape you will renew grape culture in all parts of the Union. 
Yours truly, T. C. KEVITT, Propagator of Grape Vines, &c.

Gentlemen— The Diamond grapevines got of you have grown vigorously, and this sea- 
son bore a nice crop of beautiful yellowish white fruit of excellent quality. I consider the 
variety superior, every way, to other varieties of its season and blood (Labrusca 1 now before 
the public, ripening early. Yours truly, T. V. MUNSON.
