will be sent to applicants sending a three cent stamp. It con¬ 
tains additional information relative to planting, training, and 
ho management of vines, with a full and accurate descrip- 
*on of all the valuable varieties with which I am acquainted 
hat are now in market. 
My facilities for propagatingfincludingnearly an acre of glass) 
re extensive, and in consequence my plants generally, and es¬ 
pecially the Delaware Vines, are this season of much better 
quality than I have before been able to offer. 
Of Large Diana Vines my stock is limited, but of surpass¬ 
ing excellence. Of Anna, the stock is also small, but plants of 
best quality ; chiefly large layers ready for bearing. 
For prices and full particulars see Catalogue. 
Of Delaware Vines, besides very large Layers, I have a 
good stock of exceedingly vigorous plants grown in the open air, 
for such as may prefer them. Of these the wood and roots are 
very strong, and will be thoroughly ripened early in the season. 
I would recommend the Herbemont as a most delicious grape, 
and a great acquisition to all gardens having a sheltered expo¬ 
sure not more than one degree north of latitude of New-York. 
A small stock of very large layers ready for bearing now for the 
first time offered. 
Concord, a small stock of remarkably large layers for imme¬ 
diate bearing, as well as small vines. A good stock and very 
large plants of Rebecca. Canby’s August, which in synony¬

Schuylkill Muscadel, Baldwin’s Early, etc., a few layers. Of 
the following a very limited supply :
