ance, that by improved cultivat ion, pruning, &c , a crop of good 
fruit can be obtained every year, in most of the Northern, all 
of the Middle, Western, and Southern States.

directs, he will, when they commence bearing, furnish the 
owner with one of his Vinedressers, whom he has instructed in 
his mode of cultivation, and he will do all the labor of the vine¬ 
yard, and insure the most perfect success The only charge, a 
reasonable compensation for the labor. When the purchase is
