 The great importance of an exchange ofSeeds Is ac- 

 knowL-dged by every agriculturist. To afford, there 

 fore, our customers the means of thus improving their 

 farms and gardens, has heen the study of the subscrib- 

 ers for many years, and for Ibis purpose they have for- 

 med connexions with some of Ihe most respectable 

 seed estahlisbmenis in Europe and have received by 

 late arrivals from Britain, France and Holland, a verj- 

 extensive collection of valuable seeds for Ihe Garden 

 and Farm, — among those for the latter, and Ihe most 

 important to Ihe farmer, is the Lucerne, or French do- 

 ''r— There is nothing at present known with which 

 the soil can be cropped, that will produce any thing 

 like the quantity of fodder as this grass ; it has also 

 the quality (so essential to the soiling system in Ibis 

 country) of not being alfpcted by Ihe long droughts and 

 beats of our summers : it is also a well established fact, 

 thai it has kept the ground (or thirty years (rom the 

 time it was first sown, in certain plaees in this state, 

 without the seed having been once renewed. The 

 time for sowing is April and May^The quantitr of seed

It is the object of the Publisher of the Nev; Eng- 

 land Farmer to keep, not only every kind of seed 

 used in the Garden and Field, but other rare and 

 useful sorts used by diers, and by farmers who 

 have leisure and disposition to introduce new 

 kinds of vegetables. From his connexion with 

 our best Seedsmen, he is able to furnish orders for 

 any Seeds raised in this country, at moderate 

 prices. For the quality of the Seeds sold at his 

 ottice this spring, he refers with eonfidencs to any 

 person who has tried them.
