Please Read Carefully. CORRESPONDENCE solicited in English and German. PACKING, no charges for, and goods delivered free, f. o. b. cars or express office at Hermann, Mo. Our packing is the very best, boxes and bales paper lined. EARLY ORDERS are sometimes necessary to secure the special variety and get stock in time. SUBSTITUTION. When orders come in late it is customary, should the supply of a variety become exhausted (as will occa- sionally occur in all establishments), to substitute in its place a similar sort, if there is such, always labeling correctly. Should it be desirable for us not to do this, please state “No Substitution” on your order. TRUE TO NAME. We use the greatest care to have all our vines reliable and true to name, and will, on proper proof, replace anything that may not prove true to name. It is mutually agreed, between the purchaser and ourselves, that we shall not at any time be held responsible for more than the original cost of vines. TERMS. All goods must be paid in advance, or C. O. D., one-fourth payable in advance, and we then send subject to exam- ination. In case they do not give satisfaction they can be returned, but must again be packed carefully. We will then pay the return freight or express charges and return the full amount the party has originally paid. REMITTANCE. We accept stamps for sums less than one dollar — 1, 2, 5 and 10-cent stamps preferred. We also accept per- sonal checks without deducting for collection, but sometimes we do not ship before we have collected same, therefore a draft or express money order is better.

If your back yard be ever so small, room for a few grape vines can be found, and very, very often back yards are found rather unpleasant sights. Nothing will so redeem these places as a few grape vines. They will grow up and do well on a fence, woodshed or trellis. Best varieties for this purpose are: Moore’s Early and Con- cord, both black. The first named is very early and the latter is, as everybody knows, the old stand-by. It will do fair under the most careless treatment. Niagara and Martha, both white. Marsala and Aroma, red; the latter has immense large berries. Following we give a plan if you don’t want to plant near a building or along a walk; also a cut of the trellis work from a photograph. Plant as shown in above diagram. Save this circular and you will always be able to tell which is which. For prices of these vines see Special Offer “C.” The trellis work is not needed the first year, can do without two years; have to drive small stakes to SPECIAL OFFER “A.” For 75 cents we will send four each of the following varieties: Concord, Ives, Elvira and Missouri Riesling. SPECIAL OFFER “B.” For $1.00 we will send four each of Moore’s Early (black), Marsala (red), Niagara (yellow), Elvira (white). SPECIAL OFFER “C.” For $1.25 we will send one each of the following: Moore’s Diamond, Perkins, Norton’s, Martha, Aroma, Concord, Niagara, Ives, Catawba, Moore’s Early, Elvira and Marsala. SPECIAL OFFER “D.” For $1.50 we will send two each of the following varieties: Moore’s Early, Worden, Concord, Norton’s Virginia Seedling, Ives (all black), Niagara, Martha (yellow), Delaware, Marsala, Perkins (red); Elvira and Missouri Riesling (white).
