INTRODUCTORY.

It is now nearly 30 years since my father, the late JOSEPH PRES-
TELE, Sen., of Amana Sccrery, Homestead, lowa, “ORIGINATED” and made
the first Lithographed Colored Fruit and Flower Plates, for the use of
Nurserymen in the U.S. He died in 1867, and I am now the only suc-
cessor to his business, and the only person, and no one else, that can
furnish the genuine Prestele Lithographed Colored Plates. I have re-
moved from Bloomington, Iil., to Iowa Crry, Johnson County, Iowa, near
my father’s old home, and am now in possession of a good stockof Plates,
Lithographic Printing Press, Stones, &e.,and have added many new and
popular varieties, and improved old ones, can furnish now the genuine
Prestele Plates, in any quantity desired, of either size, Large or Pocket
Edition, loose or bound, in any style desired, with Name and Address
printed on outside cover in Glit Letters. 50 Plates bound free in one
book; less than 50 we charge $1 for binding. New Fruits drawn from
Nature, and Lithographed at once, if sample is sent, free of charge, and
copy forwarded on receipt of regular price for Plates. Plain copies
printed for the use of Catalogues by the 1000 cheap. Old books re-
bound, and new Plates added if desired.
