The Subscriber would call the attention of Dealers and 
Planters to his extensive stock of Grape vines, and especi¬ 
ally to the Concord and Iona varieties. 
Our vines have always been unsurpassed by any in mar¬ 
ket and our aim is not only to keep up tlieir well known 
standard of excellence, but to pioduce, if possible, still bet¬ 
ter plants than we have had heretofore. 
Haviiiff a very large number in course of propagation, 
we are enabled to sffil at very low prices where, quantities 
are taken, and all parties intending to purchase will find it 
greatly to their interest to examine our stock and prices 
before purchasing elsewhere. Last year the demand lor 
our plants was so large that we were not able to fill one halt 
of our orders. Therefore, send your orders in eaiiy to se¬ 
cure the best plants. Address G-. E. MEISSNER,
