Tall Meadow Oats Grass, &c. 



THIS day rdceived at tlie New England Seed Store, 

 ■504 North Market street, by J. B. Russell : 



A fresh supply of Tall Meadow Oats Grass Seed, so 

 Taluable on thin soils for eiiher a hay crop or for grazing. 

 Col. Taylor, a distinguished farmer, says of it, " It is 

 the hardiest grass I have ever seen ; and bears drought 

 and frost, and heat and cold, better than any 1 have ever 

 cultivated. It keeps possession of the ground in spite ,of 

 severe grazing. It furnishes better grazing early in the 

 spring, late in the fall, and in dro'ight, than any grass 

 known to me; and if cut before the seed ripens, its hay 

 is as phasant and nutritive to stock, as any grass known 

 to me." — See also the opinion of Mr. Phinney, a most 

 judicious farmer, in the New England Farmer, vol. vii. 

 page 300. 



Also.— Lucerne Orchard Grass, White and Red Clover, 

 Fowl Mead .w. Barley, Buck Wheat, Spring Rye, Spring 

 Wheat, Broom Corn, Seed Corn, &,c. March 28. 



Howard's Cast Iron Ploughs. 



FOR 5ale attlie Agricultural Warehouse, Nos. 51 and 

 52, North Market street, — Howard's improved Patent 

 Cast Iron Ploughs, of all .sizes, wllh wrought iron stand- 

 aids. The above Plough, which has been in general 

 use the past season, is much approved by our best prac- 

 tical farmers, and considered by them the best Plough 

 now in use. The iron and wood work being finished in 

 the best possible manner, and the casting being ground 

 and closi-ly fitted, make the Plough work very free and 

 easy, as will appear by the following certificates. 



CERTIFICATES. 



Mr. Newell— I have used the Nos. 1 and 2 Howard 

 Ploughs, which I purchased of you, and am much pleas- 

 ed with them. I have used a number of different kinds 

 of east iron ploughs, but have never found one that did 

 the work so perfectly, with so liitle labor. 



Daniel chandler. 



Lexington, Aug 27,1831. 



Mr. Newell— The Howard Plough which Capt. D. 

 Chandler introduced into Lexington, from your establish- 

 ment, I consider to be a first rate article. I purchased 

 a No. 2, lastsprieg, and turned over about eight acres of 

 very rocky turf sward land. I have likewise used it 

 through the season upon different soils, some of which 

 were very rougli and stony, and find that it holds well 

 and does the work easier and more perlectly than any 

 other plough I ever used on my farm, either wood, 

 wrought or cast iron. N. WILLINGSTON.
