THE 
IONA AND ISRAELLA 
GRAPES 
Surpass all others in excellence and value for every 
purpose. 
The ISRAELLA although BEST and EARLIEST of 
all BLACK GRAPES of good size, is also one of the 
very best for late keeping. 
The IONA, also VERY EARLY, has all of the deli¬ 
cacy, purity and refinement in flavor, uniform tenderness 
of flesh and transparent beauty, that characterize the best 
European varieties, and surpasses them in RICH VIN¬ 
OUS SPIRIT, wliile in HARDINESS^ and CON¬ 
STANCY of PRODUCTION and PERFECTION of 
RIPENING, it is unequaied among our most enduring 
natives.

lings, with their origin and history, see Pamplilet with 
engravings, representing the vines in bearing, which 
contains other important matter concerning grapes. It 
is sent for a two-cent stamp.
