AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST,

Home Grapes of Foreign Excellence! 
The Croton, a White Grape; the Scncisqna, 
a Black Grape. Both for Out-door Culture. 
THEY SO NOT MILDEW. 
Their fruit is equal to the finest foreign varieties which 
require to be grown under glass. The vines are hardy, 
healthy, vigorous, and productive. Head the following from 
an editorial by Ur. George Thurber, in October number 
of the American Agriculturist : 
“ What seems the strangest, is that the Croton and Senas- 
qua, which are more thoroughly foreign than any others in 
my collection, should he completely exempt from mildew, and 
that pure natives on each side of them are almost ruined .” 
* They are wanted in every garden and vineyard in the 
United States. 
Send for descriptive illustrated Circular, giving facts of 
their success in various localities.

PEERLESS POTATOES. 
Another season’s trial confirms more fully than ever all 
that lias been said heretofore in favor of this wonderful pota¬ 
to. We have favorable reports from our customers in every 
section of the country, where crops have averaged from 100 
to 150 barrels to the acre. Its great beauty, superior quality, 
and enormous productiveness place it at the head ef all 
other varieties for general culture. Persous who reside nt 
a distance should procure their supply of seed potatoes in 
tlie fall, as it is not safe to forward in spring before April.

gESSIONS & KNOX’S 
PATENT HARD-STEEL PLOWS 
Embody iu their shape the scientific adaptation of natural 
lines embraced by Knox’s Patent, and have extra qualities 
of hardness, each piece of metal being made by a process 
that converts about one third ou each side into steel, and 
allows it to be hardened as much ns tire and water can make 
it, while tlie center remains soft or flexible. This gives them 
a toughness that avoids tlie liability of breakage, so general 
with other plows, and a surface better adapted to elide 
through the soil, which reduces tlie amouut of power re¬ 
quired, and further adds to durability.

IRINDLE’S AGRICULTURAL STEAMER 
has notyfcfc found its equal for the combined qualities 
of safety, durability, utility, and econ¬ 
omy. 
We have the past season added a flue to 
pass the heat around the boiler before reach¬ 
ing the stack. This flue can be iitted to any 
steamer now in use of our make, at trifling 
cost, and adds much to its efficiency. 
The steamers can be had of any responsi¬ 
ble dealer, or of the undersigned.
