Price Within the Reach of Every Family.
Hand Pouter. S3O ; Foot Power, with half doz. .\cedles,
<s-<■., $35 ; Ca'oinet Case, SSO ; Hemmcrs, $5.
• rpiIESE unrivalled Machines need no puffing,
_L and only want to tie seen to insure the approbation
of every individual; and although a new applicant for
public patronage in this locality, it has attained a popu
larity heretofore unsurpassed i>y any Machine. After
one year of constant use in the Western States, they
have" been pronounced the best Machine in the world fur ;
family use, and are preferred to the higher priced Ma- j
chines. Those who want further proof have only to pur- 1
chase one and give it a fair trial, and if they finu they
cannot use it, they can return it and have their money
refunded. They are warranted as durable as any of the
higher priced Machines, and are divested of everything
like complicated machinery.
They will Stitch. Hem, Tuck, Fell, Gather and Em- j
hroider with perfection, and will sew every kind of goods
from the finest Swiss Muslin to the heaviest and coarsest
cloth fabric—even Leather.
The following reasons are selected from the many, why !
RAYMOND'S is the best in the Market :
1 Because it is the cheapest. 2ltis by far the simplest, j
2 The least liable to get out of order. 4 The easiest
managed and understood. 5 It makes the celebrated
Double Lock Stitch, which is the most elastic ever made
Vy machinery. C It will not rip if a stitch gets broke j
or every fourth rut. 7 It makes the neatest and hand
somest stitch. 8 The seants are the strongest. 9 It u.-es i
two tit reads from the ordinary spools as bought from the I
store, without re winding. 10 They finish their work !
•without fastening the thread at either end ot the seam f
with the hand needle as is required by the Shuttle Stitch j
Machines. 11 It has the least machinery. 12 Itsniechau- |
ism is the most perfect. 13 It is the most popular among !
the masses. 14 It is the easiest running, and almost ;
noiseless in its operation. 15 It is an ornament for any j
parlor. 16 It combines the advantages of both Hand i
and Foot Powers. 17 The price is within the reach of j
every family. 18 any person of ordinary intelligence j
can learn to use it successfully in one hour's time j
19 They can do all kinds of work that any high priced !
Machine can, and just as well. 20 Every- Machine is (
warranted to give satisfaction or the money rcfuxded.
Ail orders by Mail or Express, with the cash, will re
ceive prompt attention. A liberal discount given to lo

THE GRAPE.
THE history of the grape is almost as old as that of man
—growing in its highest perfection in Syria and Per
sia, its lucioua fruit and the unrivalled beverage which its
fermented Juice affords, recommended it to the especial
care of the Patriarchal tillers of the soil ; and vineyards
were extensively planted, long before orchards or col
lections of other fruit trees were at all common.
The grapes of the old world are all varieties of the wine
grape, which, though so long and universally cultivated
and naturalized in all the Middle and Southern portions
of Europe, is not a native of that Continent, but came
originally from Persia. From the latter country, as the
civilization advanced westward, this plant accompanied
it—first to Egypt, then to Greece and Sicily, aril gradu
ally to Italy, Spain, France,and Britain ; to which lat
ter country the Romans carried it altout two hundred
years alter Christ. To America the seeds and plants of
the European varieties were brought by numerous Emi
grants and Colonists, within the first fifty years alter its
settlement.
The wild grapes of our own co-.ntry, are quite distinct
species from the wine grape of Europe, and arc usually
stronger in their growth, with longer and more entire
foilage, and in their native state with a peculiar foxy
odour or flavor, and more or less hardness of pulp ; these
traits, however, disappear in process of cultivation ; and
we have already obtained from the wild type, new varie
ties of high quality, aud of superior hardiness and pro
ductiveness in this, our Northern climate.
The universal experience in all countries, has estab
lished the fact that dry, warm soil is the very best for
the vine. All in this latitude may raise the grape suc
cessfully bv setting the vine in a favorable exposure to
the sun. The late varieties that I offer for sale, are all
earlier than the Isabella but one, and that ripens full as
soon as the Isabella There is no fruit grown, in my
opinion, in this world, more beautiful, delicious, or use
ful than the grape. If a man is not too lazy, he may have
round him all the varieties of grapes in a high state of
cultivation, and his garden adorned with all the beautiful
and social productions of this fair world of ours, and a
raiud that has any sfir in it at all. by little enquiry aud
practice, may learn to cultivate anything that grows.
I consider the following variety of grapes the very best
to cultivate lor out door culture in our northern climate,
out of the vast variety.
BURGUNDY.
This excellent hardy grape, is the true Burguudy grape
so highly valued lor wine iu France. The fruit is very
sweet and excellent, and the hardiness of the vine ren
ders it one of the best varieties in the open air iu this
climate. Bunch small, compact, (i.e. berries closely set.)
Berries midle-sized, roundish-oval, black, juice "sweet,
good, ripens about 20th of Sejit. Thompson gives more
than forty synonymes to 1 his gra|>e.
PRICE SEVEN TV-FIVE CENTS.
CATAWBA.
This excellent native grape, was first introduced to
notice by Maj. AIU.I m. of Georgetown. D. C., ami was
found by him in Maryland. It probably has its name
from the Catawba river, it-is one of the most productive
and excellent of our native sorts. There is is no grape
iu some portions of the United States, so good for wine
or table ive. Beautiful hunches, pale red, rich musky
flavor, aud very sweet when ripe.
PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
CLINTON.
Origin uncertain, said La have originated in Western
New York, growth vigorous, hardy, and productive,
bunches compact, berries round, father below medium
size, black, overcd with a thick bloom, eatable eight or
ten days before Isabella, frosts make them very good.
PRICE, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
CONCORD.
This exceeding fine, hardy native grape, was raised
from seed by E. W. BI LL, Concord, Mass. It is very
healthy, vigorous habit, and very productive,bunch rath
er compact, large shouldered, almost black, covered with
bloom, very sweet, it is more hardy than the Isabella,and
ripens about ten days earlier. Consequently it is very
valuable for a large Northern range.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
DELAWARE.
The precise origin of this is not known, we have the
following account of it from A. THOMSON, of Delaware,
Ohio. It was brought to Delaware by a German, its ex
cellence attracted his attention, and an inquiry a-s to its
history. It was brought from New Jersey some eighteen
or twenty year- ago, having been obtained from the gar
den of a French gentlemen, PAI L 11. PKOVOST. in Kings
wood twp., Hunterdon Co., N. J. It was known in that
vicinity as the Italian Grape, sent from Italy, bunih
small, a beautiful light red, or flesh color, exceedingly
sweet, one of the most delicious, hardy grapes. It is'a
vigorous grower, an early and profuse bearer, and prob
ably more hardy than the Isabella, it ripens two or three
weeks before the Isabella. No gra]*e more desirable
for our climate.
PRICE, THREE DOLLARS.
DIANA.
A seedling of the Catawba raised *y Mrs. Diana Cre
hon, of Boston, and named by the Massachusetts Horti
cultural Society. It was announced the best and most
lieautiful of American grapes, particularly valuable for it
earliness. The color is a fine reddish lilac, it hangs long
on the vines and is not injured by severe frosts ; it is ex
ceedingly productive and vigorous.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
HARTFORD PROLIFIC.
Raised by Mr. STEEL, ot Hartford, Conn. Hardy, vig
orous and productive, bunch large shouldered, rather
compact, berry large globular, black .covered with hlboin,
ripe about teu days before the Isabella.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
ISABELLA.
This very popular grape, a native of South Carolina,
was brought to the North and introduced to the notice of
cultivators about the year I*l*. Mrs. ISAUELI.A GIBUS,
the wife of GROKOE GIBBS, Esq., in honor of whom it
was named. Its grea', vigor, hardiness, and productive
ness, with the least possible care, have caused it to be
most widely disseminated. It is probably more hardy .and
ripens earlier than the Catawba, which renders it most
valuable at the North. It is so well known it is hardiy
worth while to describe the beautiful fruit it bears.
PRICE TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
EARLY NORTHERN MUSCANDINE.
This grape ripens the last of Sept., is perfectly hardy.
The variety is a seedling from the native white grape
raised by PHILEMON STEVENS, Shaker Village, New Leb
anon, Columbia Co., X. Y. Bunch line and large, light
amber color, and very delicious, very highly spoken of,
and very hardy and productive.
PRICE ONE DOLLAR.
REBECCA.
A new variety, bunches four inches long, and two and
a halt inches in diamater. very compact, color light green
in the shade, or golden iu the sun, and covered with a
light bloom, sweet and delicious, ripens ten days earlier
than tlie Isabella, keeping a long time after it is gather
ed. This superior white grape is undoubtedly a native
chance seedling in the garden of K. M. PKAKK.OI' Hud
son, X. Y.. proved perfectly hardy and
not so vigorous in its habit- a- the Isabella or Catawba :
but hardy and healthy, and being exceedingly beautiful,
as well us excellent, it nm-t be regarded as avery great
acquisition, it is so well adapted to the North.
PRICE, TWO DOLLARS.
UNION VILLAGE.
This very attractive grape originated among the Shak
ers at Union Village, Ohi", and was introduced by Mr.
Loxo WOHTII. of Cincinnati. It is undoubtedly a seed
ling of Isabella, is very vigorous in growth, and its fruit
often nearly equals the size of the Black Hamburg. It
ripens about the time of Isabella.
PRICE, ONE DOLLAR.
The following tender variety of grape vines arc all
raised nipler glass with one exception, the Chw-tti u. 1
have succeeded admirably in out door culture with the
vine. Black Hamburg. Red Muscat. White Syrian, Golden
Hamburg. Bishop. White Fmntiguan, Black Prince, Hlk.

HARRY MIX.

which are in great demand and very scarce.
