Gentlemen :—The two baskets of Columbian Grapes arrived here In strictly excellerit condition. 
I kept them on exhibition for a whole week. Their rich aroma and very largo size was the coinment 
from evervl)ody wlio saw them, but the few wlio had an opportunity to taste thein expressed them- 
selves eiithuslasticallv as to the quality. Speaking for myself, I sny they are the l>est llayoretl grape 
out of the hundreds of native grapes I am acquainted with. Ihose were nearly seed le-ss, did not 
average one seed to each berry, and that was so large that it was easily separated from the pulp a 
great desideratum in eating grapes— the individual bt'rries being so large the seeds are really small 
in proportion. The size of these resembled plums more than grapes. I candicUy advise every one 
who likes grapes, and if they have room for only one or two vines, to plant the “Columbian. 
Kespectfully yours,

Gentlemen:— The sample of Columbian Graep was received in gowl condition, sho\\ Ing them to 
l>e good shippers. Clusters were well filled and compact; the berries were very large, measuring one 
Incli or more in diameter, and probably the largest hardy grape kiu)wn. Very showy J;’ 
resembling plums in size and appearance. The flesh was solid, juicy, meaty and good, with a tnice 
of native aroma. Color verv dark red, almost black. We consider it a valuable variety. 
Respectfully,

I cannot but say it is all that you 
lich have made such woncieriui growui anu oi suuu 
we had. The fruit grew exceedingly large. Without a doubt this grape has a grand future, and those 
who desire to have fruit on their grounds should see to it that “Columbian finds an arbor there.

Add many pages of testimonials and good words for the Columbian Grape, 
but our space is very important to us this season, and therefore, we only 
g’ive a few. You should no miss planting a few vines of Columbian. 
IF YOU WANT 
A Grape from which you can make your own raisins, and a variety that is 
just as fine as those from California, don’t fail to plant at least a few vines 
of the Columbian. 
REMEriBER 
we are headquarters for the Columbian Grape, and if you want the true 
vine order from us. They bear our seal.
