Tlie price List for Spring of 1805 is now ready, and will be 
sent for a two-ceiit stamp, eitlier alone or witli a proposition 
for formation of clubs, or witli Hie sixteen page pamphlet 
wliicli gives .an account of our four best native kinds, includ¬ 
ing a full description of Hie Iona and Israella. 
In tills connection I would call particul.ar attention to an 
article in Hie December number of American Agriculturist, 
page 3tl, signed II. P. Byrani, in wliicli lie makes very grave 
cliarges against me, wliicli, if true, would not only justly de¬ 
stroy my reputation and business, but render me liable to 
prosecution by every purchaser of Israella Vines. 
He says “ I state tliese facts from my own personal obser¬ 
vation, and they were known to every intelligent cultivator 
on tlie place at tlie time.” 
Now I would declare tliat all of liis allegations against me 
are utterly false. 
In the first place lie never saw an Israella vine in bearing 
and never saw a bunch of tlie fruit. He never tasted any 
except a few very imperfect berries and long out of season. 
No such “forcing process” as he describes, or any other, 
was emploved last season, or li.as ever been employed lor 
Iiastening the maturity or improving tlie quality of tlie Isra¬ 
ella Grapes. Tliese vines liave always “been grown in the 
open ground and in tlio usual manner," except that the 
mother vine has been greatly exhausted liy having layers 
taken from it tlirougli a succession of years for propagation. 
The slieltering process of wliicli H. P. Byram attempts to 
speak, has been fully descrilie.d in my Illustrated Catalogue 
during tlie past five years, but has never been applied to one 
Israella vine.

or less, by L. M. WALKER. Olintoii, Oneida Co^ N. Y. 
Now I liave thought “ it an act of simple justice to the pub¬ 
lic ” and ail concerned, first to ask Mr. Byram to publish 
a full retraction of these and all tlie otlier false statements 
wliicli lie has made concerning me, and on liis refusing to do 
this I liave thought in the second place tliat justice require 
tliat I should commence prosecution againt him and those 
who have uttered his statements, which has been done 
accordingly.
