B. F. SMITH. 



January 1, 1845. J^VMES P. FOGG, 



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 relation 

 ■which the seedsman liolds to the whole farming communi- 

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

 a season in some measure depend. The greatest care has 

 been used in selecting the seeds offered at this establishment 

 for the ensuing year, and they 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, Caulifiowers, Brocoli, all the 

 varieties of Garden and Field Teurnip, Scarlet Short-Top 

 Raddish, Scarlet and White Turnip-Raddish, Dwarf and 

 Early Peas, with Twenty choice varieties of FLOWER 

 SEEDS, have been imported by the subscriber from the 

 long established house of R. WRENCH &. SONS, of Lon- 

 don.

TO FARMERS AND OTHERS. 



Gentlemen — I am now manufucturing and offering for 

 sale, SANFORD'S PATENT STRAW CUTTER, in the 

 City of Rochester. 



Said machine was patented two years ago, and has this 

 year for the first time made its appearance among you ; and 

 for cheapness, 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, Wayne and Monroe Countiei^ 



I now ask you to examine it, try it, and then buy it, if 

 you please. 



For .sale at the GENESEE SEED STORE, No. 10 

 Front St., Rochester. H. A. CHASE. 



Rochester, Nov. 1845. 



RECOMMENDATIONS. 



I recently witnessed the operation of " Sanfard's Perfect 

 Straw Cutter," sold by H. A. CHASE, of the American 

 Temperance House, Syracuse, and most cordially recom- 

 mended said Machine to all persons wishing 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 usa, 

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

 work is done, it cannot be surpassed, if equalled, by any 

 machine constructed for the same purpose that I have ever 

 seen. Its operation is only to be seen to be admired, and 

 the machine and its principle approved. 



SQUIRE M. BROWN, 



Elbridge, July 21, 1845. Prest. On. Co. Ag. Society. 



Mr. Chase's Straw Cutter. — The undersigned, oflR- 

 cers of the Wayne County Agricultural Society, would ex- 

 press their commendation of the machine exhibited at our 

 Annual Fair, by Mr. H. A. CHASE of Syracuse, called 

 " 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 etfieient 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 English husbandmen 

 ckqffing. Its low price brings it within the acquisition of 

 every farmer, and we feel that it cannot be too highly re~ 

 commended to the agricultural portion of our fellow citiz^s»

Cortland Village, Nov. 19, 1845 — Mr. H. A. Cha9E>. 

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

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

 ber though we gave it the first premium at Utica,* I stated 

 some objections to some of its details. I find I was mist8>- 

 ken. It cuts easier and faster, I think, than any machins 

 with which I am acquainted. It takes one of my men but a 

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



Yours respectfully, HENRY. S. RANDALL.
