These are the strongest commendations of its quality, and 
the universal reputation this Grape lias gained the past 
three years, in addition to its previous history, will make 
for it a very general demand. 
ETyOur stock of Plants is produced from the original 
Vines, which are growing in our own grounds, and every 
one is warranted true to name. 
By reason of the great success of the Eumelan Grape 
wherever it has been planted, both North and South, as well 
as East and West, and its superior worth to all others, The 
Florida Improvement Company of the City of New York 
have purchased of us for Spring planting Ten Thousand 
Dollars’ worth of Eumelan Vines, of our best quality, with 
the view of propagating it extensively, and making the 
most extensive Vineyard in the State with the Eumelan 
Grape alone. 
AVe have yet a sufficient stock of these Vines to supply a 
very large demand, and offer them at as low rates as the 
same class of Vines can he obtained elsewhere.

readily applied by any one. , 
From Certified Report of Judges American Institute, Exhibition of 1870. 
“This Improved Roofing is strong and flexible; unaffected by the sun’s heat; practically fire-proof and water-proof, 
and is really an article of the first order of merit.”

Signed, \ Geo. Peyton, Rec’g Sec'y, 
( Sam’l D. Tillman, Cor'g Sec’y. 
Extract from Report of Committee appointed by Am. Institute Farmers’ Club to examine the ASBESTOS-ROOFING. 
“ The material constitutes, for a cheap rooting, one of unusual merit, much superior to any of the class previously 
brought to their notice, and worthy of trial by those who desire a durable, easily applied, and comparatively inex¬ 
pensive and safe roofin"-, the material having, in addition to the other merits claimed for it, that of being practically 
fire-proof, and consequently much less liable than the shingles commonly used on barns and rural dwellings, to 
catch fire from flyiug sparks,” &c. . , „ _. n,
