PROSPECTUS. 



NEAV E]VGr.AND FARMER,, AND 

 HORTICUtTURAIj JOURNAI.. 



THIS is a paper devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, 

 and Rural Economy. It is conducted by Thomas G. 

 Fessenden, assisted by a number of agricultural writers. 

 and by the observations of many of the best practical 

 Cultivators in New England ; and owned and published 

 by Geo. C. Barrett, who lias purchased the establish- 

 ment of its late proprietor, J. B. Russell. 



The New England Farmer is printed with a new and 

 elegant type, and paper of superior quality, in a quarto 

 form, paged, making a volume of 416 pages annually, to 

 which a title page and inde.x are furnished gratis. This 

 Journal has been published ten years, during which time 

 the most unremitted exertions have been made by the 

 Editor to render it acceptable and useful to the Farmer 

 and Gardener. 



The value of the New England Farmer is enhanced by 

 its being made the vehicle for publishing the results of 

 the discoveries and improvements which are elicited by 

 means of that most useful association, Tlie Mussachusells 

 Horticultural Society. By a vote of the members of tlpt 

 valuable institution, all communications on horticultural 

 topics, addressed to the President, are to be published 

 regularly in the New England Farmer, so tliat this Jour- 

 nal will contain tlie complete Transactions of the Society. 



By concentrating all these advantages, it is thought 

 that the volumes of the New England Farmer will C(jn- 

 tain so large a collection of useful facts, and detailspr 

 notices of e.vperiments, connected with agriculture aid 

 its kindred branches of gardening, orcharding, &c. aato 

 be found worthy of a place in the library of every farnir. 

 A weekly report of the sales at Brighton — the state of 

 the markets, ci-ops, &c. — and occasionally drawings \f 

 agricultural iDipiements,&c. will be found in this journal 



The New England Farmer is published every WednesV 

 day morning at the low price of $3,00 per annum, from 

 which a discount of 50 cents is made to those who pay 

 in advance. 



Gentlemen who procure five subscribers and forward 

 tlie payment for the same will be allowed a sixtli copy 

 gratis. New subscribers can be furnished with the back 

 numbers of the current volume. 



Editors with whom we exchange, who may feel dis- 

 posed to give this one or two insertions will confer a 

 favor, which will be reciprocated with pleasure on any 

 eccasioH.
