ELLWANGER & BARRY, 

 July, 1851. Mt. Hope Nurseries, Rochester, N. Y. 



Liands of liong Island, 



ADJOINING the villages of Lakeland and Hermanville, about 

 48 miles from the cities of New York and Brooklyn, by tlie Long 

 Island Railroad. The opportunity is now offered to all those who 

 ever wish to obtain land on Long Island, the Ancient "Garden of 

 America," that will probably never occur again, for these lands 

 'are the only remaining new lands on the Island, and are equal in 

 quality, when cultivated, to any other land. 



The results of cultivation on these Island lands have been so 

 great, so much beyond the expectations of any one, that they are 

 now considered of great value for farms and gardens, and will, in 

 all probability, be all taken up for settlement and occupatiou, or 

 be held at more than five times their present price. All kinds of 

 produce may row be seen growing there, such as wh 'at. rye,corn, 

 potatoes, and garden vegetables, with fruits and flowers, In the 

 most luxurious growth, where but a short time since the laud was 

 covered with trees and bushes. 



The surface of the ground is perfectly beautiful, free from stone 

 or bogs or marshes, and the climate as healthy as can be found 

 iu this latitude. The soil is a fine loara, admirably adapted to 

 high cultivation and great crops, and of easy till.age. 



Indeed, no New Eng'and or Northern New York man can form 

 any adequate idoa of the great difference in the labor and strength 

 requisite to cultivate these Island lands, and that required to sub- 

 due their own rugged lands, until he has seen or made the trial ; 

 and I now offer for sale as handsome land, and intrinsically as 

 valuable, as cau be found within fifty miles of the city of New 

 York, iu any direction, in lots of five acres or more, for th© sum 

 of $25 per acre. 



Any person wishing to purchase a five acre lot of good and 

 handsome land, without one foot of water or useless ground on it, 

 can do so by sending $5 as a first payment, and the further sum 

 of $5 a month, until one half is p.aid, when a warrantee deed and 

 good title will bj given, and thei-emainder part of the pui chase mo- 

 ney may be paid or secured on the land.to be paid within three or 

 five years, with 6 per cent yearly interest. Larger lots will be 

 sold on the »ame terms. 



The title is perfectly good— I have a history or deduction of the 

 title comilete, certified to by legal men of tlie highest character, 

 which I will send by mail with maps, pamphlets, and all informa- 

 tion, to all purchasers, or those who wish to be informed of these 

 Island lands, by applying to E. H PEAS, of Albany, or CHAS.
