The subscriber having purchased the interest of Mr. B. F. 

 Smith, in the SEED and IMPLEMENT business, will con- 

 tinue the business as heretofore at the Rochester Seed Store 

 on Front street, nearly opposite the market. 



The subscriber is well aware of the important rela'ion 

 wliich the seedsman holds to the whole farming communi- 

 ty, and that on his honor and veracity the crop and profit of 

 a season in some tneasure depend. The greatest care has 

 been used in selecting the seeds oiTered at this estaldishmcnt 

 for the ensuing year, and ihey can be relied upon as pure 

 and genuine, carefully selected and raised from the very 

 best varieties, and properly cured. Many kinds were rais- 

 ed in the immediate vicinity of this city, by Mr. C. F. Cros- 

 man, and under the inspection of the proprietor ; others 

 were raised by experienced seed growers ; while those va- 

 rities of foreign growth, which experience has shown are 

 the best, such as Cabbage, Cauliilowers, Brocoli, all the

Gentlemen — I arn now manufucturing an^! offerir><^ for 

 sale, SANFORDS PATENT STRAW CLfTEE, .« the 

 City of Rochfiter. 



Said machine was patented two ., rn^s ago, and has this 

 year for the first time made its appe;;;-] ace among you ; and 

 for cheajiuess, durability, and amount of work, 1 say it can- 

 not be beat. It took the first premium at the State Fair, 

 and at the Fairs of Onondaga, W'ayne and Monroe Counties. 



I now a.sk you to examine it, try it, and then buy it, if 

 you please. 



For sale at Blossom's Hotel; and Amsuen & Co's. Stove 

 Store, Main Street, Rochester. H. A. CHASE. 



Rochester, Nov. 1845. 



RECOMMENDATIONS. 



I recently witnessed the operation of " Sm/fard's Perfect 

 i^lrmc Cutler," sold by H. A. CHASE, of the American 

 Temperance. House, Syracuse, and rr:!ist cordially recom- 

 mended said Machine to all persons w;i,.-shing to cut straw, 

 hay, or stalks, for food to be given horses or cattle. Simple 

 in its construction, least liable to get out of order by use, 

 and for ease to the operator, and despatch with which the 

 w ork is done, it cannot be surpassed, if equalled, by any 

 machine constructed for the same purpose that I have ever 

 seen. Its operation is onlj^ to be .seen to be admired, and 

 the machine and its principle ajiproved.

Mr. Chase's Straw Cutter. — '!'):■ lindersignv^'d, offi- 

 cers of the Wayne County Agriculu rai ^'iciety,WouId ex- 

 press their commendation of the macfim' exhibited at our 

 Annual Fair, by Mr. H. A, CHASE, of Syracuse, calk J 

 " Sanford's Perfect Straw Cutter." We believe it is the 

 best machine of the kind ever invented, and that its supe- 

 riority and usefulness need only to be known to secure for 

 it general adoption by our farming friends. Simple and 

 substantial in its construction, and efficient in its operation 

 it performs its work in the highest degree of perfection, and 

 is easily kept in repair. It cuts and mashes the straw, hay 

 or stocks, in a manner termed by Erglish hiisbandmen 

 chaffing. Its low price brings it within the acquisition of 

 every farmer, ami we ft el that it cannot be loo highly re- 

 commended to the agricultural portion of our fellow citi.-^ens,

Cortlano Village, Nov. 19, 1845 — Mr. II. A. Chase. 

 — Tiic Machine arrived safely, a couple of weeks since, and 

 I have subjected it to a most ihorough trial. You remem- 

 ber though we gave it the first pieinium at Utic.a,* I stated 

 some objections to some of its details, I find i was mista- 

 ken. It cuts easier and faster, I thiuk, than any machine 

 with vvhioh f am acquainted, it taki's one of my men but a 

 few minutes to cut feed for six horses for a day. 



Yours respectfully, HENRY. S. RANDALL.
