An Elementary Treatise on American
Grape Culture and Wine Making
By Peter B. Mead. With nearly 200
EngraviDgs from Nature. New
York. Harper 4 Brothers.
The Messrs. Harper have sent to US,
IN advance of publication, the sheets
of work IN press, bearing the above
title Mr. Mead is we'll known as a
hOTticulturist, and has been from his
youth distinguished for his intimate
practical knowledge of grapes, both
foreign and native. When wine max
ing was in its extreme infancy in this
country, he OTigina ted a series of gold
medal prizes for Its encouragement,
which we're proposed TO be awarded
for the best specimens of STRICTLY pure
American Wine. These were taken
BY Mr.. Longworth for his Catawba
wine, about 1916.
This is intended to be an elementa-
~ work, full and comprehensive, but
not superficial; and Mr.. Mead's thor
Ough knowledge, extensive experience
uAs
fitted him for the task of producing a
book which may be studied with pleas
ure and saiell y trusted by all seeking
for Information.
It is in octave form, elegantly print
ed and profusely illustrated with the
best engravings ever drawn from life
for the purpose. Ali of the mystery
Of planting, pruning and training is
Her III
like representation of every process,
rendering the management of vines
simple enough for the comprehension
of a child, and at the same time estab-
lisbing that systematic accuracy which
affords the best guaranty of success
We do think that no cultivatOr of the
vine, or any one who purposes growing
it, can afford to be WITHOUT it's aid -
and it is Of almost equal interest to
the lovers of the fruit and real wine.
OHIO IN THE WARBLER STATES
MEN, HER GENERALS AND SOLDIERs-Is
the title of a new book soon to be pub
lished, giving a complete history of
Ohio's part in crushing the rebellion.
The book will appear in two volumes,
500 to 900 pages each, royal octave size,
printed on laid and tinted paper, bound
art. It viii be profusely embellished
with nearly 120 steel portraits of Ohio's
Statesmen and Generals, and groups of
martyrs slain on the field of battle, en-
cravings of battle scenes, and interest
ing localities with maps showing the
battle fields of the war, and the points
made historical from the opening of the
war to the surrender of Lee and John
son; elaborate and elegantly written
biographies of Mcclellan, ROsecrans,
Mitchell, Mcpherson, Grant, Sherman,
Sheridan. Cox. Steadmall Mcdowell
Gilmore, Weitzsl, Hazen, Leggett, Sill,
Harker, Schenck, Garfield, Lytle, Nc
Cook, Crook, Fuller, and host of 9TH
ers from Ohio who found their way to
leading positions in the National Ar
mics; ske tches of Cows DennisOu, Tod
and BrOugh; histories of every regi-
ment, its travels, and the part taken in
every battle. It is a work of great mag
nitude and Importance, which has been
in course of preparation for more than
three years. THIS Is A BOOK OF OHIO.
We hope that it may be in every house
hold in the land, where the memory and
deeds of OhiO's patriots are cherished
and where soIicitude is felt for enshrin-
ing them in the hearts of future gener-
atiOns. The history of no State during
the war is brighter than OhiO's. The
greatest heroes of the nation are from
our own State. The Buckeye boys were
y
buried on every battle field. Nearly
every family in the State had a mem
Der or relative in one of the regiments
of which this book is the history. 1t
seems right that the history of such
services and such devotion should be
specially preserved. The state which
contributed such Generals, and an army
of 81, 900 soldiers to follow them, may
be pardOned for desiring her achieve
ments recorded by themselves, and we
feel certain that the we'll known firm
of Moore, Wilstach & Baldwin, of Gin
cinnati, viii do the State justice and
themselves credit in preparing this
work. The WORK WILL BE SOLD ONLY
BY AGENTS, EACH OF WHOM WILL HAVE
THE SOLE RIGHT OF THE TERRITORY AS
SIGNED TO HIM,
The General Agent, A. N. FITCH, is
now in town, stopping at the American
House. Energetic, enterprising men,
who would like to devote their time in
canvassing for this work can be accom-
