The Celeha-ated Walter ®rape. 
After twenty-five years experience with the present tender 
and late varieties, we know the Falter, now first offered, 
will restore confidence in grape raising in this country. It 
never rots. Its abundant sugar raisins it indoors or on the 
vine. It is a great grower and bearer—the parent vine now 
contains HI clusters of bloom. It is very compact in cluster 
at the East; tiiis is an advantage in marketing. Fe have 
not known the foliage to mildew. It succeeds in dry and 
very wet soils. All grapes excel in the West. It is a seed¬ 
ling of the Delaware, crossed with the Diana, and better 
than either. It ripens before Hartford Prolific, and is there¬ 
fore the earliest as well as the hardiest and best variety; 
No. 1, one year, $5 each in advance. Orders filled in rota¬ 
tion, while supply lasts. No charge for packing. Send 
stamp for beautiful cut and opinions of many vineynrdists.

NAPOLEON III. 
The highest-flavored, most productive, and best berry for 
amateur culture. 
In growth, flavor, and productiveness, excelling 
JUCUNDA. 
Superior in size and quality to 
DR. NICATSE, 
as hardy, more robust, and almost as prolific as 
WILSON’S ALBANY, 
and in high, delicate flavor, equal to 
TRIOMPIW2 DK GAND, 
it is superior to all Strawberries we have yet seen, in its 
strong, luxuriant, and healthy foliage, which endures our 
hottest suns without burning 'or injury, and the vigorous, 
robust habit of the plant. 
“ One of the most distinct fruits we know, and one of tho 
best in many respects.”—Thos. Meehan, Ed. “ Gardener’s 
Monthly.” 
“A strong and vigorous grower; productive; promises to 
be an acquisition.’’—A. SU Fuller, author of “ Small Fruit 
Culturist. ’ 
A good bearer, large, good fruit, quite late.”—F. 11. 
Elliott, in “Horticulturist.” 
“In size and productiveness, it lnr excels any land we 
have. Our largest berry measured TA inches in circumfer¬ 
ence, and we had a number over 6. For a family berry it 
mssesses the desirable quality of remaining in bearing 
onger than most others.”—J. M. Ferry, Esq., N. Y. City. 
“Found that variety superior to all others in flavor, size, 
and productiveness. I counted one hundred and forty-two 
berries, on a single stock, that were from medium to large.” 
—rrof. S. B. Heiges, V.-Pres. York Co. (Pa.) Hort. Society. 
“The best growers we bad ever seen, setting fruit finely, 
which ripened early, and continued to ripen longer than any 
variety we had.”—Geo. II. Blelock, N. Y. City.

The Willoughby Patent Gum Spring Grain Drill, manu¬ 
factured by F. GARDNER & CO., Carlisle,Pa., is believed to

U. S. It possesses tlie double value of being perfectly 
adapted to stony and stumpy ground, as well as smooth and 
level fields. A Vulcanized India Rubber Spring is attached 
to the drag bar of each shovel or hoe, which enables it to 
pass over every obstruction without stoppage or breakage, 
and tlie process of seeding is not interrupted a moment. 
There is no pin-breaking. There is no bunching of tlie seed. 
It is thoroughly well made and warranted. Retail price, $90 
cash. The farmer who is looking for tlie very best Grain 
Drill will not be disappointed in the Willoughby. 
It is the cheapest, because it is a time-saving, labor-saving, 
ami grain-saving Drill—three all-important items.
