Successful Grape Growing,

A s EVIDENCE OF OUR SUCCESS IN
"A growing Grapes, we refer TO our vine
yards of twenty.scven acres of healthy and wig.
orous vines, which never fail TO produce an i'm
mense CT p of the finest fruit-To the thousands
of intelligent fruit growers, who visit our
grounds, including among them DR.. Jno. A.
Warder, George Hussman, VIM Saunders, Prof.
Geo. Thurber, Chas. Downing, DR.. Irimble,
Thos. Meehan, Robert BUST, and many others
To our annual Grape Exhibitions, both at home
and abroad-To the Fruit Markets of Pitts
burgh, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, &C,
where tons Of our Grapes are sold every day
during the fruit season at the highest price.
OUR SUCCESS WE ATTRIBUTE TO:
FIRST. A, malicious selection of varieties.
SECOND. The character OF our Vines.
THIRD. Proper Culture and Pruning.
We select varieties that are Hearty, hardy, OF
good quality, and on which we can depend for a
crop every year. WE Plant VINES FOR FRUIT
an abundance every year of the best we can
grow. See 4th page Of Small Fruit Catalogue.
That the character of the Vine has much to
do with its successful fTuitage, We have no
doubt. A vine with q siCkly constitution will
never produce satisfactory results. IT such a
Vine has been planted, the sooner IT Is rooted
out and thrown away the better. a.
We grow orr own Vines, and claim their su-
periority on the following grounds: q.
FIRST. They are grown from MATURE WOOL

eating, neither do we damage our vines by layer.
lug them. We guard by every possible means
the healthy constitution OF our parent vines
that we NAV produce not only satisfactory crops
of fruit, bat young vines of the most healthy
character.
SECOND. We start our vines in PROrAGATING
| Housrs, that they may have the advantage of
early growth. but as soon as the weather will
permit. We turn them ont into the open ground,
where they are carefully cultivated during the
entire growing sceson. We regard this system
of producing vines rs the very best, and much
| preferable to that of growing them under glass,
or with their roots cramped il pots.
We secure by our mode healthy, stocky, and
well rooted Vines. which gives satisfaction
| when planted in their growth and yield Of fruit.
THIRD. Our soil is peculiarly adapted to the
production Of Vines OF the best quality, aud We
use no stimulants TO excite unnatural growth.
There is no mystery connected with the
proper culture and pruning of the Vine.
MANY persons have been bcwildercd and dis
couragcd with what has been written and said
OF the subject. But we unheSitatin"ly say,
there is no more mystery in growing Grapes
/ than Grain, and that il is rs easy to grow "A
Vineyard as n field of Corn. Any one visiting
our VINEYARDS can be satisfied of this fact.
We offer this season for sale l. ACRES OF
such Vines as We plant, aud which under SINH
lar circumstances, will undoubtedly produce
similar results.
Also. Strawberries, RaspbcrTies, Blackberries,
Gooseberries, Currants, &c, Of all desirable
kinds.
