THE GENESEE FARMER. 



GEJVESEE FARMER 



DE'osFiL 3.ese. 



During the present year, the circulation of the Genesee Farmer 

 has nearly doubled. We believe it has now a larger list of sub- 

 scribers than that of any similar journal in the world. This is 

 mainly due to the voluntary effort* of the friends of Agricultunil 

 and Horticultural Improvement, who have kindly consented to act 

 as agents, in procuring and forwarding the names of subscribers in 

 their respective districts. To Postmasters, especially, we are un- 

 der great obligations, for their disinterested labors in increasing 

 the circulation of the Farmer ajid. Rural Annual. 



Grateful for past favors, and hoping for a continuance of them, 

 we have determined to make great improvements in the volume 

 for 1858. We have purchased an entire dress of new type, have 

 made arrangements for a supply of better paper, and intend to 

 spare no expense in procuring engravings of Farm Houses, Build- 

 ings, Animals, Jfachiues, Implements, new Fruit Trees, Shrubs, &c. 

 The Genesee Farmer is the only fifty cent agricultural paper in 

 this country that is not made up from a weekly paper. It con- 

 tains as much matter as any of the dollar monthlies, and much 

 more than many of them. It hag a larger and more extensive list 

 of correspondents than any similar journal in the woild. It is 

 published in one of the finest agricultural and fruit growing sec- 

 tions in the United States, and we number among our correspond- 

 ents many of the best practical farmers and gardeners in the 

 countr3'. The paper is not local in its character. No farmer nor 

 fruit grower in any section of the Union, or in the aiijoining 

 Provinces, can readJa single number without getting some hint 

 that may prove valuable. 



Encouraged by past favors, we have determined to offer a much 

 more extended
