Mr. D. TI. GoopelTi— Dear Sir : Please accept my thanks 
for your Broadcast Seed Sower. I hive just sown 18 acres 
of clover seed with it on the wheat, and so far as I could as¬

with great, rapidity. My man sowed the 13 acres in 0 hours. 
1 have not had an opportunity to try it with grain.

OFFER FRESH AND GENUINE 
We offer for fall trade a large and choice stock of all the 
leading varieties of grapevines, including Iona, Israella, 
Delaware, Concord, Hartford ITolific, &e., and the new 
varieties, Martha and Walter. 
We have also a good stock of one, two, and three-year- 
old vines of the 
EUMjElLA]¥ inFE, 
which Dr. C. TV. Grant esteems to be the most valuable varie¬ 
ty ever yet introduced. It is an early, black grape, of first 
quality, equaling either Delaware or Iona for richness as a 
table fruit, and makes red wine superior to Norton’s Vir¬ 
ginia, or any other American grape. 
Ripening as early as Hartford Prolific, and being entirely 
hardy, it can lie successfully grown in northern latitudes, 
and will be of great value everywhere as an early market 
grape. 
V lioever has success with the Concord vine may plant the 
Eumelau with full assurance that grapes of surpassing ex¬ 
cellence may be obtained by using an average degree of 
skill in cultivation. The Enmelan l ines we offer are grown 
from mature wood taken from the original stock, all of 
which is under our control, the old vines standing in our 
own grounds. To insure securing the genuine p ants, all 
parties should send direct to us. 
Our stock of Raspberries, Blackberries, Gooseberries, 
Strawberries. Currants, &c., is large, and strong plants. All 
at lowest cash rates. 
Agents and the Trade supplied at liberal discounts. Can¬ 
vassers wanted in every town.
