THE 
Eumelan Grape. 
This Grape, which is the last variety disseminated by Dr. 
G. W. Grant, has, during the past j'ear, more than sus¬ 
tained its character for hardiness, vigor of growth, health 
of foliage, and fruitfulness of vine ; while its earliness of 
ripening is everywhere well established, and the superior 
quality of its fruit already admitted by every one who lias 
tasted it. 
The Eumelan was awarded the following first premiums 
for quality during the Fall of 1869: 
Pennsylvania Hort’l Society (Philadelphia)..Sept. 13-16 
Ohio State Fair (Toledo).Sept. 13-16 
New York State Fair (Elmira).Sept. 13-16 
Geneva Horticultural Society (Geneva, N. Y.)_Sept. 25-26 
Hammondsport Grape Exhibition..Sept. 29-30 
N. Y. S. Grape-Growers’ Exhibition (Canandaigua) Oct. 5- 0 
Ohio Grape-Growers’ Association (Cleveland).Oct. 13-14 
Lake Shore Grape-Growers’Association (Erie, Pa.) Oct. 15-10 
These are the strongest commendations of its quality. 
"We have grown the present season a large stock of vines 
of this valuable grape whicli will be ready for delivery early 
in October. Our stock also comprises a good supply of two 
and three-year-old vines, which have been grown with 
especial reference to early fruiting. 
At the time of sending this advertisement to the American 
Agriculturist for insertion in the September number, many 
bunches of the Eumelan are already highly colored, and 
palatable—nearer ripe than most of grapes sent to market 
last fall. We have no other grape of even tolerable quality 
ripening as early as the Eumelan. Prices reduced last season. 
We desire to insure the formation of a Club for the pur¬ 
chase of the Eumelan in every village, from Maine to Kan¬ 
sas, and offer vines to clubs in large or small quantities, at 
prices so low that all can afford to purchase, giving large 
commissions and premium vines to the getter-up of the club, 
for his trouble in securing and forwarding the orders.

Terms to Agents, to
