O-iends in the /^f•s^ on the banks of the Canal, 

 in arid about ^llbany. 

 Twelve years a^Of there came forth an host 

 of Seedsmen, with Cobbett at their head, 

 speaking i;reat swelling words; they promised 

 ^^^^ HiiifA — lliey perlbrmed nothini^. I^om a 

 anting of fiftetn dollars, the present state ol'onrestab- 

 fiment will show wliai good seeds, good soil and good 

 fivation will produce. 



For the accommodation of our customers as above, we 

 end. (nothinft extra prcvenlins,) to open a Seed, Plant, 

 1 Kioner Root Store, at No. 347 North JIarkct street, 

 the tiih day of .\pril next, opposite the building into 

 ieh the Post olTice is to remove on or before the first 

 May. within a few doors of the Museum, and within 

 tol ^liot of the five banks. The business in Albany will 

 comlucted by one of my sons, and the store supplied 

 ih the same goods, and at the same prices at which we 

 1 in New York. As we derive our supplies more or 

 i from every quarter of the globe, we think it will be 

 icility to tlie agriculturalist, as well as profitable to the 

 cerned. If they trill keep pace with the ability, and 

 )vidence smiles on the undertaking, I see nothing to 

 cnt its arriving in a few years to the same extensive 

 ng in Albany as the mother store in New York ; for, 

 c the rich in our city purchase the flowers and the 

 ssoni>'. and the rivers and the ocean cari-y our seeds to 

 ■ry clime, so in Albany the taste wants only food, and 

 les are already there in abundance ; while the canal 

 veys the seed to the Lake Superior, the great Western 

 id will transport ihem far towards the setting sun. — 

 thing that good Seeds and attention to business can 

 form will be wanting on our part to meet the public
