The G-reelev Prise” 
AWARDED TO THE IONA. 
The requirement for grapes competing for the prize: 
"I require that the grapes competing for this prize (of one 
hundred dollars) shall ripen earlier than Catawba, Isabella, 
and Diana. The flesh must be melting and lender quite to the 
center. The flavor must be pure, rich, vinous and exhilara¬ 
ting. The berries must be at least of good medium size, and 
not liable to fall from the stem when ripe. The vine must be 
healthy, productive, of good habit of growth for training in 
yards and gardens, as well as in vineyards, with leaves as 
hardy and well adapted to our climate as those of the Dela¬ 
ware. 
“In short, what is sought is a vine that embodies the best 
qualities of the most approved American and Foreign varie¬ 
ties, so far as possible.” 
It will be seen that these requirements are very high. How 
the Iona meets them, and the opinions of the Committee on 
the subject, are matters of interest to all lovers of good grapes. 
SEW© A STMSB* 
For a pamphlet of sixteen pages, fully answering all of the 
questions that ttie lovers of good grapes would ask, concern¬ 
ing the award and the opinions of various Committees be¬ 
fore whom tlie Iona and Israella have been judged, and all 
questions pertaining to the new kinds, and how, when and 
whore to get them. 
It contains a very valuable chapter by Mr. Mead, extracted 
by permission from his book in advance of publication, clear¬ 
ly analyzing the qualities of the different kinds of most im¬ 
portance, showing plainly 
WHAT KINDS TO PLANT, AND Tint WHEREFORE. 
For those who wisli to get vines at wholesale rates, with 
premium in addition, propositions for the formation of 
clubs have been prepared, which are also sent fob a stamp. 
To obtain the best and ciieapest vines of these new kinds, 
early application is necessary, for the orders are already nu¬ 
merous aud large. C. W. GRANT, Iona,

In reply to the question, “ How Long will it Last?” 
we can only say, “ As long as a wasli-tub, cooking-stove, or 
any other family utensil.” See testimony of Orange Judd. 
“ We think the machine much more than PAYS FOR IT¬ 
SELF EVERY YEAR in the saving of garments ! We con¬ 
sider it important that the Wringer be fitted witli Cogs, oth¬ 
erwise a mass of garments may clog tlie rollers, and the roll¬ 
ers upon the crank-shaft slip and tear the clothes, or the 
rubber break loose from tlie shaft. Our own is one of the 
first made, and it is ns GOOD AS NEW after nearly FOUR 
YEARS’ CONSTANT USE.”
