REVOLVING HORSE RAKE. 

 The Revolving Rake, which has been in general use in most 

 parts of i'ennsylvania and i\ew Jersey, is found to be one of 

 the most useful and labor saving machines now in use. One 

 man au-l horse will rake o\i an average, Iroin fifteen to twenty 

 acres per day, with ease, and do the work well, it not being 

 necessary to stop the horse to unload. They are coining into 

 very general use in all parts of the country, ami will, no 

 doubt, in a few years, supercede the use of the common hand 

 rake. For sale at the New England Agricultural Warehouse

Nl!RSERY FOR SALE. 



A rare chance is now oflered for the purchase of a young 

 nur.sery and farm, at Covington, Kentucky, which fronts half a 

 mile on the Licking River, within a mile of its junction with 

 the Ohio, directly opposite to Cincinnati. The nursery ami 

 farm comprise 101 acres of the very richest Kentucky soil; 

 iibout 50 ;icres are laid down to mowing, between 30 and 40 

 to tilhige, including the nursery, and from 12 to 15 acres are 

 filled with timber for fencing and fuel. On the premises, an 

 orchard of 100 thrifty young apple trees, mostly winter fruit, 

 was set out last year ; also another orcliaril of 200 Pear 

 trees, comprising 72 different sorts, including all the winter 

 varieties of t;ible pears, of w hich the demand for the New Or- 

 leans market is almost unlimited. 



On the place is a good brick house, built in 1816, with a 

 first rate well of water, 45 feet deep, a large new green-house 

 just fini.shed, two large barns built in 1835, and all the usual, 

 out-houses; also, a (arm house with two rooms that will let 

 for $50 per animm, suitable for a gardener or small farmer. 



Thenm'sery was laid out in 18^5, and bids fair to do a very 

 lucrative business, as there is nothing of the kind west of the 

 mountains that can compete with it, for the variety and 

 choice character of the fruits cultivated, which were all se- 

 leeieil from the nurseries of Biiel & Wilson and Wm. Ken- 

 rick and others, and comprise all the new sorts introduced by 

 the Massachu.setts Horticultural Society from Europe, and all 

 the choice sorts cultivated near Boston; among these are SO 

 varieties of Pears, 50 of Apples, 50 of Peaches, 2o of Plums, 

 .30 of cherries, with a gieat variety of Grapes, Evergreens' 

 Ornamental Shrubs, &c. Thereare'at least 100 000se«lliiigs 

 uf Apples, Pears, &c., of one and two years growth, for inoc- 

 ulation now growing on the place. 



The above offers a rare chance for one or two enterprising 

 young men, to do a great business, in a perfectly healthy loia° 

 tion, where there is little or no competition, and" a demand for 

 trees that has thus far exceeded the greatest expectations of 

 its founders, and their ability to execute orders. ItwilMie 

 sold at a great bargain, on account of the death of the active 

 partner of the concern, and the non-resirlence of the other. 



For terms, apply (post paid) to S. C PARKHURST, 

 Cincinnati, Ohio.
