 THE Subscriber, late from the Albany Agricultural Works, 

 Warehouse, and Seed Store, where he has been engaged 

 for the past six years, has secured the sole Agency for the 

 Bale of Emery's Patent Railroad Horse Power for Rochester 

 and vicinity, so widely and favorably known throughout 

 the country, and which has, without exception, taken every 

 highest premium awarded in the States of Ohio, Michigan, 

 and in New York, for the best Railroad Horse Powers, in 

 1850, 1851, and again in 1852, also at the Provincial Fair of 

 Canada, recently held at Toronto, was awarded a Diploma 

 and £2, of which the judges highly commend the principle 

 and workmanship of this Power, now offer them at manu- 

 facturer's prices, with the transportation added, and subject 

 to the warrantee as follows : 



" To work to the satisfaction of the purchasers as repre- 

 sented in Circulars and Catalogues, or to be returned with- 

 in three months and full purchase money to be refunded." 

 For further particulars see Circulars and Catalogues, 

 which are furnished gratis on application to the subscriber. 

 The attention of the Farming public is solicited, and a 

 careful investigation into the construction of this Power, 

 and its comparative merits, as well as price, is requested 

 before purchasing elsewhere. 



The Wheeler Power is also offered ten dollars cheaper 

 than heretofore by any other agency, and subject to same 

 warrantee as given by others for the same kinds. Samples 

 will be kept constantly on hand, and to insure promptness 

 and avoid disappointments in supplying them, farmers are

 is believed to be the best cast-iron Plow ever offered, and 

 which is warranted to do better work, with less expense of 

 team than any plow heretofore sold in this vicinity, while the 

 price is less than for any other equally well finished. 



The " uniform one-price, cash system" will be adopted, 

 with the prices as low as the cost of articles and just com- 

 pensation for labor and time will allow. Farmers and 

 others are invited to call and examine the stock of Ma- 

 chines and Implements, — and are assured no effort shall be 

 wanting to meet promptly the wants of a discriminating 

 public. [11-lf] E. D. HALLOCK.

NEW, RARE AND VALUABLE SEEDS. 



NEW VARIETY OF SWEET CORN. 

 Hovey & Co., No. 7, Merchants' Row, Boston, 



WOULD respectfully inform their friends and the public, 

 that they have purchased the entire stock of the Old Colony 

 Sweet Corn, raised by the Rev. A. R. Pope, and described 

 by him in the Magazine of Horticulture, Vol. 16, page 529. 



It is a true hybrid, and the most remarkable variety ever 

 produced. It was raised iu 1847, from the Southern White 

 Corn, impregnated with the early Sweet Corn of New Eng- 

 land. The ears are of a remarkable size, containing Six- 

 teen, Eighteen or Twenty, and sometimes Twenty-Four 

 rows each. In its productiveness it is unsurpassed, a single 

 stock planted after the middle of June producing six ears. 

 It is the richest, sweetest, and most delicious corn known. 

 An analysis of it, and several other sorts, by Dr. T. C. Jack- 

 son, shows that it is more abundant in saccharine matter 

 than any other variety, its composition being dextrine, su- 

 gar and phosphates, while the common varieties contain 

 considerable oil and gluten. 



It has been exhibited before the Massachusetts Horticul- 

 tural Society for three years, and has not only received the 

 commendation of the Society, but has been awarded the 

 following prizes : 



1850. For a new variety of Sweet Com, $2 00 



1851. For a new variety of Sweet Corn, called the 



Old Colony, 8 00 



For superior specimens of the Old Colony 

 Sweet Corn, Silver Medal, 5 00 



1852. For fine specimens Old Colony Sweet Corn, 2 00 

 The Committee on Vegetables, of the Massachusetts Hor- 

 ticultural Society, in their report for 1852, remark " That the 

 Old Colony Sweet Corn, raised by Mr. Pope, we recommend 

 as worthy of cultivation by all." 



The Old Colony Sweet Corn, though not as early as the 

 Common Sweet, is sufficiently so to produce a perfect crop 

 in New England. Two sowings, one in May the other in 

 June, will supply the table from July until frost. All who 

 have eaten it, pronounce it the most luscious variety, and 

 an invaluable addition to our esculent vegetables. 



(I^~ Single cars 25 cts. each. The trade supplied on 

 reasonable terms.

A New Orange-Colored Globe AmaranthuB.

 ceedingly vigorous, with liitcar foliage, and strong, tall 

 stems nearly a foot long, elevating the heads of the blos- 

 soms, which literally cover the plants. It is a native of 

 Mexico, and has been in their sole possession three years, 

 during which time it has been the admiration of all who 

 have seen it. 



Seeds are now offered for sale the first time, and Messrs. 

 H. & Co. can recommend it as worthy the attention of tie

 gle package of seeds, 25 cents. [2-1 1] 



Culture of Cranberry Vines. 



THE variety cultivated mostly in New England are hardy 

 and prolific. They can be raised on upland on rather moist 

 loam, but do the best on low, damp or moist meadow land, 

 with a little sand put arouml the plant. They may be 

 planted out \}4 to 2 feet apart each way. 



Two feet apart, it will take lO.doO plants to the acre. If 

 on low ground, it should be pared, plowed, or burnt over, 

 to take out the grass or weeds, and cultivated for one or 

 two years, until they cover the ground. The yield after 

 that is from 150 to 200 bushels per acre. 



Good bearing vines can be furnished in any quantity, 

 and packed so as to be safely carried to any part of the 

 Urflted States. For sale by F. TROWBRIDGE,
