Colambian Grape 
Largest on Earth. 
A Fine Raisin Grape. 
Cannot Be Equaled 
For Jelly or Pic. 
I’T IS a native grape ; originated in Frank- 
lin County, Ohio, about nine years ago, 
and first offered to the public in 1893. It 
is the largest grape ever offered for sale, a 
single one taken from a cluster measured 
inches in diameter. Very hardy; clusters very 
compact, and fruit perfect in appearance. 
Color similar to Catawba, but darker. Good 
table grape; excels all others for jelly, and 
. - . , niakes a fine wine. Very productive and free 
from mildey^ Ripens with us about with Niagara. We visited several fairs 
this fall in Michigan and Indiana, and it was admired by all who saw if 
and was asked many times if it was nor from California. Some thoug-ht they 
were plums on grape stems. It certainly attracts all lovers of grapes by its 
fine and beautiful appearance. We could go on and state hundreds of 
remarks concerning the Columbian, but think it unnecessary, as it is fast 
growing in favor and is grown in nearly every State in the Union. 
Bear in Mind.— The Columbian must have our seal on it or it is not 
genuine. 
Three Reasons Why All Should Plant Columbian. 
First.— The Columbian is the 
largest grape ever olTered, and 
we are often asked where we ob- 
tained it. It Is admired bv all 
who see It, and it is worthy of 
comment. With quality as good 
as the Concord, it should be 
given a place in every body’s 
K^r<^n. Kvery one who sees 
the Columbian says he never be- 
fore saw such a grape. It leads 
them all In size. 
Second. — Because it e.xcels all 
others for pie, making the finest 
pie you ever ate. It is very large 
and meaty, and almost equals a 
plum; has few seeds compared 
to pulp, and Is admired by all 
who have eaten pie made from 
it. Try it. 
Third.— Because we have dis- 
cover that Columbian gra]>es 
make as fine raisins as those 
produced in California^ It 
was late in the season when my 
wife tried to dry them and found 
they wouUl dry down the same 
as other raisins, hut she was 
greatly surprised to find that 
tney looked and tasted just like 
California raisins. We are as 
yet Ignormit of the process of 
(iryins mul curing griipe.s, but 
before another season passes we 
will be able to fullv brimr them 
to perfection, and to nil who 
buy vlties of the Columbian 
grape this season and would like 
to dry them for raisins, we will 
be able to give full Information 
Incur next catalogue just how 
to accompllah same properly. 
The prices on Columbian this 
season are certainly wdthln the 
re*tch of all, and especially if 
you want them for ralslns.'vou 
should not plant less than il or 
Tf vines. If you want something 
to bejiroud of and to show your 
neighbors, by all means plant 
Columbian,
