their orders, to save the expense of collections by Express, 
but larger orders we will forward by express, “to collect 
on delivery.” 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the Club. Our profits are small, but we will 
be ns liberal as we can afford. We send no complimentary 
packages for Cluhs less than $30. 
Parties getting their Teas of us may confidently rely upon 
getting them pure and fresh, as they come direct from the 
Custom House stores to our Warehouses. 
We warrant all the goods we sell to give entire satisfac¬ 
tion. If they are not satisfactory, they can be returned at 
our expense within 30 days, and have the money refunded. 
N. B.—Inhabitants of villages and towns where a large num¬ 
ber reside, by clubbing together, can reduce the cost 
of their Teas and Coffees about one-third. (BE¬

I^RAPE VINES.—THE THREE KINDS 
now before the public on which American grape-cul- 
tnre must rest for distinguished success, are Iona, Israella, 
and Delaware. I am now prepared to add another Black 
Grape to the list, which I have named Eumelan, (good 
black.) The Eumelan ripens earlier than Hartford Prolific, 
is very vigorous, productive, hardy, has none of the native 
defects, and possesses the high qualities of the best European 
kinds which render the grape the best of fruits, and without 
which grapes cannot hereafter, in this country, attain or 
hold any position of rank and value. Vines of all these 
kinds grown in open air, the best that I nave ever offered.
