 sowing, &c. 



These remarks are addressed to those who have 

 yet to begin ornamental gardening. We would re- 

 mind those who have already made some advance- 

 ment, of the fine new herbaceous plants, magnificent 

 new Bengal, Bourbon, and Tea Roses, that will bloom 

 the whole season in the borders, and can be taken up 

 and kept in the room, or even the cellar, during win- 

 ter. Also, Verbenas, of almost every hue, beautiful 

 ever-blooming border-plants ; besides many others 

 that we cannot now allude to. Ladies ! be stirring 

 when the fine mornings arrive : remember what we 

 said to you in our January number. 



ADVERTISEMENTS. 



AURORA A«R1CU; TUMAfj INSTITUTE, 

 AT AURORA, CAYUGA CO., N. Y. 



THE late Jiulpc EucI, in one of his last public addresses, in 

 speaking of agricultural schools, says, " I pretend not to 'lie 

 spirit of prophecy, yet I venture to predict, that many who now 

 hear me will live to see professional schools of agriculture estab- 

 lished in our land — to see their utility extolled, and lo be induced 

 to consider then) the best nurseries for republican virtues, and the 

 surest guaranty for the perpetuity of our libeities. They should be 

 established — will be established — and the sooner they are establish- 

 ed, the better for onr country." 



The undersigned, being satisfifd of the great public utility of 

 Buch institutions, and feeling an earnest desire for their early intro 

 duction into our state, have, in order to meet what now seems to be 

 a decided public sentiment in their favor, and call I'or their estab- 

 lishment, resolved to open such a school, and have already made ar- 

 rangements therefor. 



The Farm upon which the Institute is located is situated iu and 

 directly adjoining the beautifiil village of Aurora, on the east bank 

 of Cayuga Lake, in Cayuga County, sixteen miles from Auburn, 

 and twelve miles from Cayuga Bridge and the .': uburn and Roches- 

 ter Railroad. The communication is direct with Auburn by stage, 

 and with the Railroad by steamboat, in summer. Tiie farm contains 

 Sil2 acres, in a good state of cultivation. The soil is various ; fruit 

 abundant ; buildings are good — part nearlv ne.v — and very pleasant- 

 ly situated. The location is considered o.ie of the most desirable of 

 the many beautiful sitaations on the borders of the Lake, command- 

 ing an extensive and varied prospect of its waters and the surround- 

 ing country — and altogetlier admirably adapted tf the end in view. 



It is the inlention of the undersigned that this Institution shall af- 

 fard every facility for ooung men to make themselves thoroughly ac- 

 quainted with the principles of agricultural science, and their judi- 

 cious application to practical husbandry ; and particularly to aftbrd 

 young men from our large towns the most favorable opportunity for 

 preparing themselves for agricultural pursuits. It is also their pur- 

 pose to some extent to test, by actual experiment, the correctness of 

 principles in agriculture now received, but not } et well established, 

 and *-eport the same to the j)ublic. 



The young men wiil be received Into the family of the Principil, 

 and be kept under his immediate and constant supervision. Parti- 

 cular regard will be had for their moral culture, and a strict observ- 

 ance of all rules and regulations required. 



Terms, $150 a year, payable quarterly, in advance. 

 No pupils under fourteen years of age will be received. Applica- 

 tions for admission may be tnade to the principal, from whom any 

 further information mav, on request, l>e obtained.

THE Proprietors respectfully annoucce, that their present slock

 sually fine.

 and Foreign varieties: the trees are handsome, thrifty, and of the 

 most suitable age and size for successful transplanting ; and being 

 propagated with the most scrupulous care by the proprietors them- 

 selves, eitiier from bearing trees in their own grounds, or from others 

 of undoubted correctness, can with confidence be recommended as

SAI.E of FULL-BLOODED NORM A.N IIORSE« 



THE Subscriber having relinquished farming, will oiler at public 

 vendue, at his farm in Moorestown, Burlington County, New 

 Jersey, nine miles from Philadelphia, on Tuesday the 20th of May 

 next, his entire stock of Norman Horses; consisting of two Im- 

 ported Stallions, " Diligence" and "Buonaparte:" two Impoit^'d 

 Mares ; two full blooded Fillies, three and four years old ; two Fil- 

 lies by Diligence, from a half-blood Canadian Mare, three and fi.ur 

 years old; and one Filly four years old, by Diligence, from a well- 

 bred English mare, broke and kind to harness. 



The undersigned deems it unnecessary to speak at large of the 

 quality of these liorsts, vo much having been said of this particular 

 importation, (whicli is believed to be the only one ever made to the 

 United States,) in all the principal agricultural papers. In a few 

 words, they are the Canada Horse on a larger scale, combining the 

 form, activity, and hardihood of that well known race, with greater 

 size and strength. " Diligence" has been a remarkably successful 

 stallion ; he has been exhibited at the Fairs of the Pennsylvania and 

 New York Agricultural Societies, where he was not entitled to com- 

 pete for the premiums, but received the highest en omiumsfrom the 

 committees. At the Fair of the American Institute, in New York 

 c.ty, in October last, he received the Sliver Mednl of the lu- 



StltUte. ^ r\ 1- 



It is expected that a large number of the Colts of " Diligence 

 will bo on the ground on the day of sale, some of whirh. no doubt, 

 may be purchased. EDWARD HARRIS.
