 New York ; and an act of incorporation has been grained by ' "1-cm, American, .

culture, wherein It is provulcd, that 5U0 shares, a porlioii ofi 

 the stuck reserved for subscription by farmers and gardeners, 

 within a limited time, shall he entitled to receive 50 bushels 

 of Proudretle yearly lor live years, viz. in 1840, 184!, 184i!, 

 1843, and 1844, upon each share of Snio, which is at the rale ; 

 of 20 per cent, per annum, for those years, nnd after that 

 period to receive an equal dividend with the other stock- 

 holders. 



The Manufactory has gone into operation according to 

 law ; a sufTicient number of shares havm;; been subscribed 

 for that puipose. and capital paid in; and the first dividend 

 has been regularly paid to the subscribers— the next divi- 

 dend is payable in September. Kut the Company needs a 

 larger moneyed capital than it now has, to carry it on to hel- 

 ler advantage. Inquiries having been inude whclher all the 

 stock had been taken, and the difficulty al the preseut time 

 ol obtaining funds, to a sufficient amount, from a few indi 

 viduals, has induced a renewal of this notice to farmers and 

 gardeners, and every other person who may have spare funds,

SUPERIOR NEW STRA'WBERRY. 



Hovey's Seedling, a new variety, originated in 1835, and 

 now lor the first lime offered to the public, after a trial of 

 three years, in a bearing state, has confirmed its superiority 

 over every other variety. U belongs to the class denomina- 

 ted Pine S'traicberries, and may be described as follows: 



i*^ruti, very large, round, never coxco/nb-shaped, even in 

 the largest berrits. Color, deep shining red. ^Seeda, insert- 

 ed in a slight cavity. J^/eih, scarlet, firm, abounding with a 

 most agreeable acid and exceedingly high flavored iuice. 

 The vines are as hardy as the Early Virginia, having stood 

 the severity of the several past winters unharmed ; gro.vih 

 vigorous, and the fruit well elevated from the ground on 

 strong stems. A full tiescripliou of this seedling, with an 

 engraving of the iruit, and some account of its origin, treat- 

 ment, &c. will be given in the August number ot the Maga- 

 zine of Horticvliure. 



This strawberry was first exhibited at the Massachusetts 

 Horlicnlturat Society's Rooms in 133S, again in 183^, and 

 also the present year, and each year <iblained the Society's 

 premium, allhoiigli in competion with the Melhven, Keen's 

 Seedling, Dowuton, &c. tjentlemen well acquainted with 

 all the other varieties cultivated in this country, have seen 

 the bed in full bearing, and hesiiatingly pronounce it the 

 largest, finest, most productive and hardy variety they have 

 ever seen. 



The entire stock of plants is in the posses.sion of the sub 

 scribers, not one ever yei having been disposed of, and they 

 are now offered for sale, and will he ready for delivery on 

 and after the 20Ih of August. All orders will be executed 

 ill tlie rotation in which they are received. Plants, 55 per 

 dozen. All orders from a di-*tance, enclosing the amount for 

 the plants ordered, will be immediately attended to, and the 

 plants promptly sent to the direction desired.

 warrented genuine ^ or no charge.

vet a considerable portion nf the reserved slock, which, by 

 law, is to receive 20 per cent, per annum, payable in Prou 

 drelle, one half in May, and the other half in September, in 

 the years IS40, 1841, 1842, 1843, and IS44, not yet subscribed 

 (or, and the books arc now open to receive subscriptions for 

 Ihe same, by any person, whether gardener, farmer or other- 

 wise, at Ihe office of ihc Lodi Manufacturing Company, No. 

 73 Cedar Street, in the city of New York! Terms for the 

 reserved stock, Sioo per share in cash; and for the other 

 portion of the slock an instalment of S25 jier share on sub- 

 scribing, and the residue (being S75 per share) to be called 

 in by instalments of S5 per share, after thirty davs notice. 



These manures have been fairly tested and very generally 

 approved of as being the cheapest and best manures, and 

 more economically applied than any other known substance 

 used for manure. 



As the article can be furnished from the city of New York, 

 only to a limited extent, (not more ihan sufficieni to manure 

 35,000 acres annually.) it must follow, that m a few years it 

 will necessarily be confined to the use of the stockholders 

 alone. 



It is important to agriculture, and the enterprise deserves 

 the liberal support of every enlightened farmer. By order, 

 WILLIAM M WILSON, Secretory.
