GRAPE VINES. 



Isabella Grape Vines of proper age for forming vineyards, 

 propoguted from. and containing all, the good qualities which 

 the most improved cultivation for over fen years has confer- 

 red on the vineyards at Ci-oton Poi'nf, near Sing Sing, N. 

 v., are now oflered to the public. Those who may pur- 

 chase will receive such instructions as will enable them to 

 cultivate the grape with entire success, (provided their lo- 

 cality is not too far north.) All communications, post paid, 

 addressed to R. T. UNDERHILL, M. D., No. 400 Broad- 

 way, N. Y. will receive attention. He feels quite confident, 

 that he has so far ameliorated the character and habits of 

 the grape vines in his vineyards, and nurseries by improved 

 cultivation, prnning, &c., that they will generally ripen well, 

 and produce good fruit, when planted in most of the North- 

 ern, all the Western, Middle, and Southern States.

HOWARD'S IMPROVED EASY DRAUGHT PLOUGH. 



Great improvements have been made the past year in the 

 form and workmanship of these Ploughs ; the mould beard 

 has been so formed as to lay the furroio rjjmpletely ooer, 

 turning in every particle of grass or stubble, andieaving Ihe 

 ground in the best possible manner. The length of the 

 mould board has bf n very much increased, so that the 

 Plough works with the greatest ease, both with respect to 

 the holding and the team. The Committee at the late trial 

 of Ploughs at W^oreesler, say, 



" Should our opinion be asked as to which of the Ploughs 

 we should prefer (or use on a farm, we might perhaps say to 

 the inquirer, if your land is mostly light and easy to wiuk, 

 try Prouty & Mears, hut if your land is heavy, hard orrochy, 

 begin with Ma. Howard's.'' 



At the above mer.t;oned trial the Howard Plough did 

 more irork, with the same power of team, than ami oilier 

 plough c.rhibilcd. No other turned more than twentyseven 

 and one half inches, to the 112 lbs. draught, while the 

 Howard Plough turned twenlynine and one half inches, to 

 the same power of team .' All acknowledge that Howard's 

 Ploughs are much the strongest and most substantially 

 made. 



There has been quile an improvement made on the shoe, 

 or land side o( this Plough, which can be renewed without 

 having to furnish a new landside: this shoe likewise seciiiea 

 the mould board and landside together, and strenglheus the 

 Plough very much. 



The price of the Ploughs is from S6 to Sis. A Ploneh, 

 sufficient for breaking up with four cattle, will cost about 

 410 50, and with cutter Si, with wheel and cutter, S2 60 

 extra. 



The above Ploughs are for sale, wholesale and retail at 

 the New England Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 & 52 North Market Street, by
