150 Acres Devoted to Grapes, Strawberries, Raspberries, Black¬ 
berries, Gooseberries, Currants, etc # 
Yew York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, and other Large Cities supplied, with their 
Best Grapes and Berries from Our Fruit Farm. 
Mr. M. B. Batf.ham, Sec. Ohio Hoi't. Society, says: 
‘‘I have said, and still maintain, that these grounds of 
150 acres, with their Immense variety of fruit products, and 
of horticultural operations, are the best school of Fruit 
Culture in the Union, and MR. KNOX is doing more than 
any other two men, to teach the people which are the best 
fruits, and how to grow them." 
The New York Weekly Tribune says of our berries in that 
market: “Perhaps hundreds of bushels of Strawberries 
have been thrown into the docks in this city within a few 
days, while MR. KNOX, of Pittsburgh, had Strawberries 
(700) selling on Broadway, at 50 cents per quart. They are 
large, and the finest in market." 
Tiiis same Variety from our Farm Sold in New York for 
GO cents per pint, lidding but ten berries. 
The markets are not overstocked, nor likely to be for many 
years, with fruit of the best quality, which is always in de¬ 
mand, and brings the, highest prices. Every year we have 
more orders for fruit along the Railroads, than we can fill. 
Our sales for Strawberries in our own market have amount¬ 
ed to One Thousand Dollars per day, and the de¬ 
mand is every year increasing. 
No family, with ground sufficient, should fail to grow 
their own Small Fruits, and in the neighborhood of every 
town, plantations should be cultivated, to supply those who 
Can not or will not produce them. In no other way can 
ground be occupied so profitably. 
Our Descriptive anil Illustrated Catalogue of 
52 pages, and Price List of 16 pages, will be found 
of great value to all wishing information on Small Fruit. 
Culture. They will both be sent to applicants enclosing 
10 Cents. 
It is well known that we were the very first in this country 
to engage in growing Small Fruits on a large scale, and for 
many years we have been making a collection which is une- 
qnaled anywhere. 
Our stock of Vines and Plants, taking quality into con¬ 
sideration, is as cheap as any in the market, and gives entire 
satisfaction to all purchasers. 
We direct attention to the last page of cover of the Amer- 
loan Agriculturist, for February and March. 
Out* facilities for filling all orders promptly are very com¬ 
plete, 
Failure til Small Fruit Cul¬ 
ture is generally the result 
oS'tlae choice of inferior 
Varieties or Poor 
Stock. 
AmongGrapes, tlicMARTlIA, (WhiteConcord,) is now 
attracting great, attention, and promises to fill a want long 
felt for a first-class White Grape. As we obtained entire 
control of the Parent Vine of this grape when first origin¬ 
ated, our stock of vines is genuine, and much the largest 
in tlie country, which we will furnish at the following prices:

stock of genuine plants for sale, which we will furnish at
