 one hundred and twenty engravings. Luthee Tuckek, Albany, N. Y., oflBce of the Cultivator. 



This, instead of being an "Almanac," is a miniature encyclopedia of rural affiairs. It 

 contains a vast amount of matter, selected and prepared withgood judgment, and arranged 

 and illustrated with excellent taste. John J. Thomas has the credit of its preparation; and 

 this is a guarantee of its value. Every farmer and cottager should have it ; the price will 

 place it within the reach of the humblest means and the most rigid economy. "We pre- 

 sume it can be had through any bookseller, or direct from the publisher. 



Teansactioxs of the New Yoek State Ageicultueal Society — 1853 



For this volumne we are indebted to the Secretary, B. P. Jonxsox. From a slight exam- 

 ination of the book, we are led to believe it is the best ever issued by the Society. The 

 Reports from County Societies are more practical than in some previous volumes, and we 

 notice some excellent papers on agricultural subjects, among them one from 0. N. Bement, 

 on the culture of Indian Corn. "We have marked some passages, and shall refer to this 

 volume again.

(R. L. Gazley, South Edmeston, Otsego County.) Your R. I. Greening is correct. Goldrn 

 Pijipin is the Fall Pippin. Gohlen Ritsset is not that known as such. We found this variety in 

 an orchard in Pe'rrinton, in this State, some ten years ago, and called it Orange Ritsset, to distin- 

 guish it. Long lAmhed Sweet we do not know. Suieet Pcarma'ni is not true; it is a good, rich, 

 Apple, but wanting in juice. White OilUflowcr Ye^icmXAaa the Orl'eu ct ]]^iite Pell lower, 

 e think is different. The Pear is Spanish Bonchrdien — a good keeping baking Pear.
