Sural gnnual u^a fortitttltural gimtorg 



FOR 1859. 



THIS work was started in 1856, by the publisher of the Oene.

 and replete with new and valuable matter, is issued each year.

 beautiful engravings.

 •n Fruit Culture in the Went, on the Cultivation of Fruit Trees in 

 Pots under Glass, on Training Wall and Espalier Trees, on the

 Geese, and Swans, on British Breeds of Cattle, on the Cultivation 

 of Ruta Bagas, fee, <kc., and a List of Fruits recommended by the 

 American Pomological Society at its last session. 



The work will be found invaluable to the Fruit Grower, and use- 

 fkil to every one interested in Rural affairs.

THE subscriber begs to inform the public that he conttHSfl fgti 

 to manufacture this popular machine, and pledges bimsel n\ 

 to produce an implement that will fully sustain its former repaf 

 lion, as the best combined machine yet inlrojuced, and inferl 

 to none, either as a Reaper or Mower. m<m 



It has had a steady and increasing popularity from the flnrt lei 

 achieving a complete success in the fii i?t iniportait|Irial at Genevaf^ 

 1852. It carried off the highest honors at the great National Fiel 

 Trial at Syracuse in 1857 ; and amidst all the competition 

 trials of 1858, came out with more and better established poii 

 of excellence than ever before. 



The general principles peculiar to this machine, and upcHf f, 

 which it is eonstructed, have proved ao successful that there 

 been no attempt to change them. 



The main effort during the laet year has been to improve 

 mechanical construction, to make it stronger and more durab] 

 and sustain its reputation as the leading and moet auceptaM 

 machine to the largest class of farmers in the country.
