The fields, that a few weeks since were parched and dry. 

 now present ihe freshness of spring, and there is every 

 prospect of the latter harvest being ahundant. 



SUPERIOR NICW STRAWBERRY. 



Hovcy's Needling, 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. It helongs to the class denomina- 

 ted Piiic Slraicbcrries, and may he described as follows ; 



i^W(7, very large, round, never coxconili-shaped, even in 

 the largest berriis. Color, deep shinins; red- .Seeds, insert- 

 ed in a slight cavily. T^/es/i, scarlet, firm, abounding with a 

 most agreeable acid and exceedingly high flavored juice. 

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

 the scverily of the several past winters unharmed ; gro vih 

 vigorous, and the fruit well elevated from the ground on 

 strong stems. A full description of" this seedling, with an 

 engraving of the fruit, and some account of lis oiigin, treat- 

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

 zine of Horticulture. 



This strawberry was first exhifiiled at the Massachuselts 

 Horticultural Society's Rooms in 1S3S, again in 1839, and 

 also the present year, and each year obtained the Society's 

 premium, allhoiigh in competion with the Methven, Keen's 

 Seedling, DowiUnn, &c. Gentlemen well acquainted with 

 all the other varieties cultivated in this country, have seen 

 the bed in full bearing, and unhesiiaimgly pronounce il ih.^ 

 largest, finest, most productive and hardy variety they have 

 ever seen. 



The entire stock of plants is in the possession of the sub- 

 scribers, not one ever yet having been disposed of, and ihey 

 are now olfered for sale, and will be ready for delivery on 

 and after the 2nih of August. All orders will (te executed 

 in the rotation in which ibey are received. Plants, S5 per

An estabhshinint for ihe manufacture of ihc Manures

CORRECTED WITH GREAT CARE, WEEKLY. 



the legislature of the Slate ol New Jersey, by ihe name of 

 "The I.odi Maiiulaclurinii ('(unpany " lor purpusts of agri- 

 culture, wherein it is proviib'd, tbm ,r,ni] shares, a |iorlloniif 

 Ihe slock reserved lor subscription by fanners and gardeners, 

 within a limited lime, shall be entitled to receive 50 bushels 

 of I'loudrelte yearly for five years, viz. in 1840, 184!, 1S42, 

 1843, and 1644, upon each share of $100, which is at ihe rate 

 of 211 per cent, per annum, fur those jears, and alter that 

 period to receive an equal dividend wilh the olher stock- 

 holders. 



The Manufactory has gone into operation according to | iJ^riEK 

 law ; a suflicient number of shares bavins been subscribed 

 for that puipose, and eapilal paid in; and ibe first dividend 

 has been regularly paid to the subscriliers— the next divi 

 dend is payable in September. Ilul the Company needs a 

 larger moneyed eapiial than il now has, to carry it'on lo bel- 

 ter advantage. Inquiries bavins been made whether all the 

 stock had been taken, and llie difficulty at the present lime 

 of obtaining funds, lo a sufiicieni amount, from a few iiidi 

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

 gardeners, and every olher perscn who may have spare funds, 

 (as every person is now permitted to subscribe,) that there is 

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

 law, is lo receive 20 percent, per annum, payable in Prou 

 dretle, one half in May, and the olher half in September, in 

 the years 1S40, 1S4I, 1842, 1843, and 1S44, notyet subscribed 

 for, and the books arc now open lo receive subseriplinns for 

 the same, by any person, wlielhcr gardener, farmer or olher- 

 wise, at Ihe office of Ihe Lodi Manufacluring Company, No. 

 73 Cedar Street, in the city of New I'orki Teniis lor ihe 

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

 portion of the slock an instalment of S25 per 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 vci^y generally 

 approved of as being the cheapest and best manures, and 

 more economically applied than any oiher known substance 

 used for manure. 



As Ihe article can be furnished from the'cily of New York, 

 only to a limned extent, (not more than sufficient to manure 

 35,000 acres annually,) il must follow, that in a few years il 

 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, Secre/ary.

 Company, held at Jersey City on Ihe 6th day of July, 1840,
