GENESEE FARMER 



F OR- 1S58. 



DcEiNO the past year, the circulation of the Genesee Fakmek 

 has nearly doubled. We believe it has now a larger list of sub- 

 scribers than that of any similar journal in the world. This is 

 mainly due to the voluntary efforts of the friends of Agricultural 

 and Horticultural Improvement, who have kindly consented to 

 act as agents, in procuring and forwarding the names of sub- 

 scribers in their respective districts. To Postmasters, especially, 

 we are under great obligations, for their disinterested labors in 

 increasing the circulation of the Fakmer and Eural Annuai. 



The Genesee Farmer is the only fifty cent agricultural paper 

 in this country that is not made up from a weekly paper. It 

 contains as much matter as any of the dollar monthlies, and much 

 more than many of them. It has a larger and more extensive 

 list of correspondents than any similar journal in the world. It 

 is published in one of the finest agricultural and fruit-growing 

 sections in the United States, and we number among our corres- 

 pondents many of the best practical farmers and gardeners in 

 the countiy. The paper is not local in its character. No farmer 

 nor fmit-grower in any section of the Union, or in the adjoining 

 Provinces, can read a single number without getting some hint 

 that may prove valuable. 



Encouraged by past favors, we have determined to offer the 

 following liberal
