[Atrotrar, 
IONA AND ISRAELLA, 
Witli a.11 otlier -S'-alsia'ble hardy kinds, in¬ 
cluding large stocks Delaware ami Diana. 
The Iona Propagating Establishment, which was tlie first 
ever instituted for tiie production of hardy vines, has Iicreto- 
fore been very largo—greatiy surpassing in extent and apiiii- 
anees any otliers of the kind tiiat have sprung up in imitatian 
of it; but it has not been able to supply the demand for 
plants. The past year the stock of the most desirable kinds 
was all ordered in the early part of the season, and many 
applicants ivere greatiy disappointed by not being able to 
obtain as many as they wished of the most desirable plants. 
For the purpose of producing the excellent new varieties of 
the best possible quality in sufficient number to satisfy the in¬ 
creasing demand, the means of production have this .season 
been very greatiy enlarged, and no improvement has been 
omitted which my knowledge and experience have suggested 
that will tend to facilitate the propagation of a greatly in¬ 
creased supply of plants that will produce the best results 
as to hardy vigor and early bearing in Garden and Vineyard, 
for table use and for wine. 
The character of the Delaware for excellence and value is 
now so well established that all good judges of grapes have 
accepted it as a standard of comparison, for which it is most 
admirably fitted. 
The important points in which the Delaware is surpassed 
by the new seedlings loiia and Israella, and which r.anl£ 
them as the best grapes in cultivation, are also well ascer¬ 
tained and generally admitted. I have spared no care or 
cost this season to obtain a stock of plants that will in¬ 
crease the well-earned reputation of these kinds as well as 
that of the Iona Establislunent. 
The Vines at present give promise of surpassing those of 
any former season in healthful vigor, and I do not liesltate 
to offer them under the assurance of unequalled quality. 
It is of great importance for the hardy and enduring vigor 
of Vines, and for early bearing and continued productive¬ 
ness, that the plants should not only be propagated in tlie 
best manner, but from the best wood from mature stocks. In 
this respect as well as in other essenti.al points, I m,ay claipi 
a great advantage for my present stock of lossa. and Isra- 
clla. plants, whicli liave been produced with tlie greatest 
care from wood grown for that special purpose, and such as 
no other can command. 
I am happy to invite special attention to these new varieties 
(lana and Israella), wliich this season show even a greater 
superiority over all the other kinds than heretofore, in the 
certainty and abundance of their produce. 
While other kinds that have been unduly and injudiciously 
praised tlirough ignorance or otherwise, have fallen back in 
reputation toward tlieir proper station, these have advanced 
in the front rank which they had already firmly attained, and 
the Iona may safely be said to have no competitor in value. 
There is mueli of importance pertaining to vines and their 
management that is better and more clearly learned by in¬ 
spection than by the fullest account, and in consequence, I 
invite all wlio are interested in the subject to call at Iona 
Island, and examine both the young plants and the bearing 
vines. Peekskill, tlie station for Iona, is less tlian one hour 
and three-quarters from New-Fork, and only about three 
hours from Albany, and not less tlian twelve trains pass each 
way daily. 
My own boats are generally .at the station to meet passen¬ 
gers by the morning Express trains to convey them to the 
Island. 
In addition to these, Mr. J.ames TenEyck, one of the best of 
boatmen, has established a regular line of boats for the con¬ 
veyance of passengers to and from the Island, meeting all of 
the principal trains during the day. He Is provided for the 
comfortable conveyance of passengers in any weatlier at es¬ 
tablished charges which are very moderate. 
For a full account of my publications on the subject, see 
the July number of American Agriculturist. 
They are named and sent as follows-. 
“ Oar Native Grapes with an account of our four 
best kinds,” with Price Lists, constituting a pamphlet of 
twenty-four pages. Sent for two-cent stamp. 
Descriptive Catalogue, Ten Cents. 
Illustrated Catalogue, !I5 Cents 
Manual of tli© Vine, Fifty Cents. 
The first named pamphlet is filled with such matter as in¬ 
quirers on the subject wish to find at the beginning of 
their investigations preparatory to purchasing, with full ta¬ 
bles of the contents of the others. 
Besides these and of much importance is the proposition 
for the formation of Clubs. This shows the best and cheap¬ 
est method of obtaining vines and is tliat by which my im¬ 
mense stocks have been chiefly sold the past two years, with 
genertil liigli satisfaction. These propositions are worthy of 
the attention of dealers and all others. 
Tlie premiums for tlie formation of Clubs are not only 
very liiieral, hut enable persons witliout cost of money, to 
obtain vines of special quality that cannot be procured in 
any oilier way.

These vines are grown from single eyes of well-matnred 
wood.—After many years’ experience in growing vines, we 
have for three years past discarded the pot culture, because 
it induces a cramped condition of the roots, from whicii tliey 
with dilliculty recover. 
Our vines are therefore grown in broad borders, where 
having perfect freedom, they make substantial woody roots, 
full of flbre eyes. 
The reports returned to us of the rapid and luxuriant 
growth 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 have been disappointed. 
Those therefore wlio wish them should order early.
