The  Carman  Grape  Again, 
The  grape  vines  are  to  be  given  to  all 
yearly  subscribers  who  want  them 
enough  to  send  the  3  or  4  cents  that  may 
be  required  for  postage,  when  ready  to 
be  sent  out  in  the  fall.  We  cannot  give 
attention  to  calls  for  the  vines  this  spring. 
Please  do  not  send  for  them  until  we  an¬ 
nounce  that  they  are  ready  for  distribu¬ 
tion.  None  of  the  vines  will  be  sold  at 
less  than  S5  each.  Mr.  Munson  is  prop¬ 
agating  them  by  the  ten  thousand  for  our 
special  purpose,  under  special  contract. 
He  is  one  of  the  best  authorities  on  the 
grape  in  any  country,  and  is  especially 
capable  as  an  expert  as  a  propagator  of 
new  varieties.  *  *
