The largest and best Stock wo hare ever offered. Including 
all the Old and New Varieties of any merit. 
What wo ilo not, and wbat wo tlo claim for our Vines: 
TV'o do not claim that they are superior to all other Vines 
In the market. Other propagators, with similar advan- 
taftrs, may produce equally as good. 
We do claim that the quality of our Vines Is unsurpassed 
by any In the Country, and that they will give entire s.atls- 
factlon to the purchaser In their growth and yield of 
fruit. We found this claim on the following facta: 
First.— Our Vines arc grown from Mature Wooil, taken 
from our bearing Vineyards, thus securing health and cor¬ 
rectness. Wo use no green wood In propagating, and grow 
Cvrapes as well as Vines. 
Second.— We start onr Vines In propagating houses, and 
as early as the weather will admit turn them out Into the 
open ground, where they are carefully cultivated during the 
entire growing season. 
We regard this system of producing Vines ns the very best, 
and innch preferable to that of growing them under glass, 
with their roots cramped In pots. 
We secure by our mode, healthy, stocky and well rooted 
Vines. 
Thir<l.— Our soil Is peculiarly well adapted to the pro¬ 
duction of Vines of the best quality, and we use no stimu¬ 
lants to excite an unnatural growth. 
did not need the strong endorsement It has received the past 
year, as the TgePLa had already decided that It is tii* Grape 
of America. But It Is worthy of note that In addition to its 
continuance In well-doing. It has been awarded, without any 
effort or management on the part of its friends, the 
PRIZF 
as the Grape of the greatest value. The eminent Pomo- 
logtsts who made the award took ample time and unusual 
pains to arrive at a correct conclusion, and however in- 
leretted partiM may demur, the Pkople are well satisfied 
with the decision. As evidence of this at a late trade sale 
of vines—largely advertised all over the country—while 
other leading varieties would not sell. In quantity, at one- 
third the Catalogue prices, all the Concords offered were 
sold at twenty-three per cent, above Catalogue prices, 
j Our opinion of the Concord Is well known, and wo un¬ 
hesitatingly re affirm all we have said In Its favor, and pro¬ 
nounce It the most valuable Grape In America yet tested. It 
Is to be hoped that seedlings from It will take the highest 
rank among the Grapes of the country. 
The proper place to determine the merits of a Grape Is In 
the Vineyard, when In fruit. 
For a number of years we have held on our grounds, dur¬ 
ing the fruiting season. Grape Exhibitions, which have been 
largely attended by the most prominent fruit growers of the 
country, all of whom. In their e.xaminatlon of our Vine¬ 
yards, have been enthusiastic in their praise of the Concord. 
We refer to such men ns Dr. Jno. A. Warder, Author of 
j American Pomology;” Geo. Ilussmann, Author of “Grapes 
[ and Wine;” Wm. Saunders, Supt. of Gov't Gardens, Wash- 
I ington cHy ; Prof. G. Tltarher, Sditor oX American Agri- 
I culturist; A. Thomson, of Delaware; It. E. .Mason, of St. 
j Louis, and many others. 
! Our Grape Siiow this Year will be on the 16th and 17th 
of October. Strawberry SUow, 12th and 13th of June. 
Both promise to Ire of unusual Interest. 
I The Concord is no longer on trial. If It wers, overwhelra- 
j Ing evidence could be produced in its favor from all parts of 
I the country. 
Prop.agators, aware of Its great popularity, and the Im- 
■ mense demand there will be for Vines, are making every 
effort to Increase their Stock. 
Notwithstanding we publish that wc will not part with 
any Cuttings—needing all for our own use—we have the 
most urgent orders for Wootl. 
William Griffith, of Xorth East, Pa., writes under date of 
Jan. 18th, 1867: “ I want a portion of your Immense Stock of 
I Concord Wood, say 500,000 Cuttings.” 
I As wo sell no Wood, and have greatly Increased onr 
1 facilities for growing Vines, our customers may reasonably 
1 expect to be supplied. 
Our Stock of Concords this season Is very large and 
superior, which xve offer on most favorable terms.
