Grapes 
'I'liere is scarcely a yard so small, either in country or city, tliat room for 
froni one to a dozen or more grape vines cannot be found. They do admirably 
trained up by the side of any building, or along the garden fence, occupying 
hut little room and furnishirg an abundance cf the healthiest of fruits. Make 
the soil mellow, and plant the vines somewhat deeper than they stood in the 
nursery. F.act about eight feet apart, by the fence or building. For vineyards 
make rows eight if et apart, six to ten feet in rows. ’

The Ellison Is a beautiful vellow-fleshed, free-stone peach, large as the 
Tate Crawford, ripeii.fg a trifle earlier; yellow, with rich blush. Reproduces 
itself from seed. The iruit on three generations of trees has been almost indis- 
tinguishable in size, flavor and appearance. The trees, even the oldest are 
very .strong, healthy and exempt from disease. It .should be remembered ’ that 
budded trees cannot be depended on to reproduce them.selvesfrom seed, or fully 
retain their healthy character, as they are apt to partake .strongly of the nature 
of the stock on which budded, and so break the peculiarity. What we offer are 
seedlings, none of the trees from which the seeds were .saved ever have been 
budded. The Ellison bears nearly every year; in fact, the older trees bore nine 
successive crops during which time we had but three full crops of peaches- and 
four out of the nine years no other varieties in the country bore a peach, while 
the Ellison was loaded, owing it is presumed to its l.ate blossoming and the un- 
usual hardiness of the tree.
