3Ionroe Nursery. 



TO those who have purchased trees of me, at the Monroe 

 Nurserv, it is unnecessftry to say anything here ; but the 

 public generally 1 would recommend to call and examine 

 my st<-)ek of trees, for they are, without doubt, the most 

 thriftv and stocky that can be found in any nursery around. 

 It is true, I can not boast of 100,000 of one kind, 100,000 of 

 another, 50,000 of another, &c. ; but this I can say, that I 

 have 40,000 fine, thriftv, well grown apple trees, three and 

 four years old, all of the best leading varieties, ready for 

 delivery this fail. Also, cherries, pears, peaches, &c., in 

 like proportion, all of which are offered low, and very low 

 to wiiolesalo jobbers. 



My facilities for obtaining buds and scions from bearing 

 trees, are likewise unsurpassed by any other nursery, hav- 

 ing, since I have o^vned and carried on the nursery, (now 

 going on ten years,) set out new standards of all the best 

 leading varieties, all of which are in bearing condition.

French Zinc Paint. 



THIS new and beautiful article of Paint is now offered to 

 the trade and public, ground in prepared linseed oil, for the 

 first time in this country. It has been used successfully in 

 France for the last five years, where it has superseded white 

 Lead as a paint. 



The French Zinc when properly prepared and used, 

 makes the most brilliant and durable white in use, and is 

 entirely free from all poisonous qualities. 



Tlie "French Zinc is not more expensive than white lead, 

 and is prepared in such a manner that it requires no far- 

 ther preparation for use, than to thin it with Turpentine or 

 raw Oil to the consistency of white lead paint. 



The French Zinc is very much whiter, and has a better 

 bodv, than tlie New Jersey Zinc. 



The French Zinc is offered dry, and prepared as above, 

 in quantities to suit purchasers, at the Manufacturer's De- 

 pot, No. 17 Buffalo St., Rochester, N. Y, 



July, 1852, ^ 



M. F. REYNOLDS. 



A Novel for the whole Union will be published soon. 

 NORTHWOOD ; or, Life North and South, showing 

 the true character of both: By Mks. Saeah J. Hale. 

 Illustrated. 



" He who loves not his country can love nothing." 

 The intention of this deeply interesting novel is to illus- 

 trate the dignity of labor, and show the influence of Amer- 

 ican Institutions on the character of our people both North 

 and South. It is a book for the Nation : nothing partisan 

 or sectfonal has swayed the mind of the authoress. Mrs. 

 Hale is not tinged by any of the isms of the day, but is 

 above any female writer of our country; a true representa- 

 tive of the moral dignity and grandeur of woman.

Wheeler's Patent RaHv»'ay Cliaiit Horse Pow- 

 er and Oversftot Thresher & Separator. 



TH3 superiority of Wheeler's Patent Railway Chain 

 Horse-Power, and Overshot Thresher and Separator is uni- 

 versally acknowledged. Thousands of them are in use, 

 many of which have threshed from 50,000 to li 0,000 bush- 

 els of grain, and are still in good condition. Probably more 

 than four times as many of these machines were sold du- 

 ring last year as of any other kind. They are beyond 

 doubt the most durable and economical machine in use. 

 Their capacity has been tested by repeated trials as well at 

 the New York and Pennsylvania Fairs as on several pri- 

 vate occasions in competition with another machine made 

 in this city which has been advertised to be far superior to 

 ours, and in every instance the result has been about ane- 

 third and in some instances more in favor of our machines. 

 In every case except one, where we have submitted our 

 machine to a working test at Fairs, it has taken the high- 

 est premiums; and in that excepted case the committee 

 decided that our machine performed its work in 8 minutes 

 and its competitor in 11% minutes, being nearly one-third 

 in favor of ours. 



We have also exhibited ours in competition with the 

 same machine at the State Fairs in Ohio, Michigan, and 

 Pennsylvania, and also at the Provincial Fair in Upper 

 Canada, at all of which we received the highest premiums, 

 viz: In Ohio, a Silver Medal and Dijjloma; in Michigan, 

 $20 ; in Pennsylvania, $10 ; and in Canada, a Diploma. 



We have numerous similar testimonials from county Soci- 

 eties, where we have always received the highest premiums 

 awarded to Chain Powers.

Price of Double Power, Thresher, and Winnower, 225 



From R. Olnffy, of Portage, N. Y. 

 " Messrs. Wheelek, Melick, & Co. — I will now state 

 some facts in regard to your Thresher and Winnower. We 

 first used it to thresh oats, which were good and not very 

 long straw. With five hands we threshed and cleaned, fit 

 for any market, 60 bushels per hour while running. This 

 is not guess work, as is frequently the case, but we kept the 

 time to the minutes, and much larger figures might have 

 been made had we exerted ourselves. Our wheat was 

 heavy grmcth and very Imig straw. We averaged 20 to 

 25 bushels an hour, using a pair of mules and a span of 

 very light horses alternately ; but with either team alone, 

 and five hands, I can thresh 400 bushels good oats a day, 

 and half that quantity of wheat, and make it no harder for 

 team or hands than ordinary farm work. The machine is 

 admirably adapted to the farmer's use ; can be worked at 

 so little expense and in bad weather when little else can be 

 done. It is of the most simple and durable construction, 

 there being nothing liable to break or soon wear out but 

 that a common farmer can repair. It cleans the grain well 

 and wastes less than any other I ever exanimed. I write 

 thus minutely that you may understand the facts as they 

 are, the figures I have given being taken from our ordinary 

 threshing without any effort to hurry business." 



From Samuel Tucker, of North Evans, N. T. 

 "Messrs. Wheeler, Melicik, & Co. — In reply to your 

 request about the Thresher and Winnower, I am ready to 

 answer that it works well. Indeed its equal was never seen 

 in Erie county. 1 have threshed 13,794 bushels of wheat, 

 oats, and barley, besides 50 bushels grass seed. A number 

 of my neighbors want machines like mine." 



The subscribers have the exclusive sale of these machines 

 in Rochester, and the general agency for Western New 

 York. We sell at the manufacturers' prices, addmg trans- 

 portation. J. RAPALJE JU CO.,
