To aid parties -aising clubs by enabling them
to offer some ind elements to each subscriber, we
propose the following:
To each club OF ten subscribers or more we will
send sufficient number of GRAPE CUTTINGS
of the new and best varities to furnish each mem
Der TWO DOZEN VINES. With these cuttings
we will send directions for roofing.
To each club of fifty or more we will send TWO
ROOTED VINES each, and also CUTTINGS as
above. These will be sent for distribution TO the
club These VINES and CUTTINGS will be from
our own grounds where we have over one hundred
varieties on trial, including all new and choice
kinds, which we will be glad to aid in distributing
over the State among our readers and Others IL
any prefer seions of choice apples, cherries pears
&c. We will substitute or add them to the
grapes, If informed in time. We believe that
next to a good newspaper, a bormtiful supply OF
good fruit for old and young is the best gift Of
Providence.
