Introductory

Quality and Prices. I do not claim to furnish the cheap- est vines in the world, but I do claim that no better or health- ier vines are grown anywhere than are produced here in the Scioto valley. My prices are as reasonable as can be made for high class stock, and I believe are as low as other reliable firms. An inferior vine is dear at any price. Vine planting in- volves years of outlay, care and waiting, and no planter can afford to handicap himself by beginning with inferior speci- mens. A very slight difference in first cost may make a world of difference in results. A safe rule is “Not the cheapest but the best.”

Orders Should be sent in as early as possible, as I enter them for shipment in the order received. When sent early be- fore the rush begins, they are most sure of prompt attention.

Guarautee of Genuineness. Everything sent out will be carefully labeled with its true name. Only experienced and careful help will be used in putting up orders. I sell my stock under a warranty that it is true to name and of quality rep- resented with the express understanding and agreement that should any not prove true to name, I will replace the same without charge, but am not liable for damages other than above named.

The Packing Season Usually opens here the 15th of April and continues well into May. In the fall I begin the latter part of {September, continuing through October and November.

Customers Are requested to notify me instantly of any errors made in filling their orders, so that I may at once make ample amends, as I desire to conduct my business in all re- spects satisfactory to those who favor me with their orders.

The Mammoth Grape

The largest and most magnificant grape in the world, the berry measuring one (1) inch or more in diameter. For table use, for jelly, for wine, for an arbor, and for healthfulness and appearance it has no equal. Vines strong and thrifty growers and are abundant bearers. Fruit ripens in September. Berry is the color of Concord, and as fine a flavor. Has from two to three seeds, bunches large and compact; skin is a little tough and bee proof, pulp very tender, sweet and juicy, the pulp parts easily from the seeds. This grape will grow in any climate is free from mildew or blight, i am the sole owner and producer of this grape. I have grown this one particular kind of grape for years and I find this is the one to grow for profit and pies sure. I don’t grow any other grape vines for market. This grape I deliver, one or two year old viues. any place for one dollar each or six vines for five dollars. I fur- nish printed instructions with all my vines. If this is followed, and the vine dies the first year, I will replace it free of charge.

I grow the Crimson Rambler, White Rambler, Yellow Rambler, Dorothy Perkins or Pink Rambler and the Crimson Baby Rambler. Good strong twro year old vines for 50 cents each.
