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.

SECTION OF NOMENCLATURE

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.

I have hundreds of satisfied customers in twenty-
eight different states who I have sold this grape to
and will still continue to try and please all new
customers.
