AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST,

IONA AND ISRAELLA, 
With a.11 otiicr valualjlt: hardy kinds, in¬ 
cluding large stocks of l>eta ware anti Diana. 
Tlie Iona anil Israella whetever known are artmittcd 
to 1)C the best hardy prapes in cn'.nvauon. 
My establishment has heretofore been very extensive, lint 
this se.asoii, for the purpose of producing plants of these new 
varieties of greatest possible excellence in snOicient number 
to satisfy the Increasing demand. It has been very greatly 
eiilarged, and nothing has been o'raitted which my experi¬ 
ence and knowledge have suggested for enabling me to se¬ 
cure a l.arge supply of plants that will produce the best re¬ 
sults as to hardy and vigorous productiveness in Garden and 
Vineyard, for table use and for wine. 
It is of great Importance for the hardy and enduring vigor 
of vines, and for early bearing and continued productive¬ 
ness. that the plant should not only be propagated In the 
best manner, but from tlie best wood from mature stock. 
In tills respect I may claim a great advantage for this sea¬ 
son's stock of Iou:i and Israella, plants which have 
been produced with the greatest care from wood grown for 
that special purpose, and such as no others can command. 
To meet the wants of the present time in regard to the 
vine I have prepared the foilowing pubilcatlons 
First.—Descriptive Catalogue, a large pam¬ 
phlet of Thirty-two pages, the chief object of which is to de¬ 
scribe accurately all of the native vines that are worthy of 
attention, and to exhibit their relative importance and value, 
and to state the conditions of success in grape-culture in 
garden and vineyard, for fruit, for the table, and for wine, 
with some acconnt of •‘reallVine" and wine-making. It 
contains more than Fifty engravings, showing many of the 
best plans for training on buildings, and in garden and 
vineyard. 
Sccoiul—Illustrated Catalogue, which contains 
an account of the characteristics .and qualities of the leading 
kinds of native grapes, but la chiefly designed to be a thor¬ 
ough practical treatise on tiie management of the vine from 
the preparation of the soil to the gathering of the fbuit. It 
contains more than Eighty engravings, chiefly drawn from 
actual vines, and is the result of the experience of many 
years earnestly devoted to the management of vines, and ol 
very extended careful observation. 
Tliird.—flianiial of tUe Vine— The two foregoing 
are bound together In flexible covers, and in tldsform called 
"Manual of the Vine," and it Chaims to he the most thorough 
and comprehensive treatise on the subject in the language. 
Fourth— For full tables of contents of the foregoing. 
Bee pamphlet of Twenty-four pages, entitled “ Grape 
Vines with some Account of the Four best 
Hardy kinds, with Description of the stock 
of Vines for Sale at Iona Island, with Price 
Lists of Vines single and per Hundred.” 
Fiftli.— Propositions for the formation of Clubs. This 
Bhows the best and cheapest method of obtaining vines and 
Is that by which my Immense stock have been chiefly sold 
the past two years, with general high satisfaction.

These vines are grown from single eyes of well-matured 
wood.—Alter many years’ experience In growing vines, we 
have for three years past discarded the pot cultnre, because 
it Induces a cramped condition of the roots, from wliicli they 
with difliculty recover. 
Our vines are therefore grown in broad borders, where 
having perfect freedom, they make substantial woody roots, 
full of fibre eyes. 
The reports returned to us of the rapid and luxuriant 
growtli of those we liave furnished in past years, enables us 
to recommend these with entire confidence. 
For three years our stock has been exhausted in the au¬ 
tumn and subsequent applicants liave been disappointed. 
Those therefore who wish them should order early.
