THE PHONOGRAPHIC PIANO. 



A MOST WONDERFUL INVENTION. 



Tbc Plioiiog^rnphlc Piano lian been called 

 the nioNl ninrvelluuN mechanical invention 



of the Hg**. It will I'lay any tune, thnt ever wus written, 

 in a mt'lodioua aud pleasiup manner Difficvilt and simi'le 

 music produci'd in a masterly style, and it can be played^ 

 by a ''hild as well as by a grown person, aud it will luriiish 

 music for singing schools and fociai gittherlugs of aiiy de- 

 Bcriptiou, 1 laying bour alter hour, witbout any knowledge 

 of music being required in the oreralion. The nn st won- 

 dertul of all musical inventions; a macbiue which in a 

 purely mechaucal m;inner iiruduces tlie raost difBcult ;>nd 

 exqul.site mu-ic, Walizes, Polkas, Marches. &c., Ac, with 

 out f»ny practice or kuowit-cige of music whatever; far su- 

 perior to auy music-box, even though it cost tbousands of 

 dollars; for there la no limit whatever to the number of 

 tunes It will play. This intjtmmeut is on the i^riuciple of 

 the wonderful Phouojcraph. It has .iust been pwrfec ed, 

 and is haviog the largest sale ever obtained by a musical in- 

 Btrument in the country. It has solid metal cases in imita- 

 tion of green bronze; the notes or b.irs {the music pio- 

 ducers) are met^il, on same principle as a tuniuu-forb, 

 which produces the clearest and moat melodious notes, and 

 never get out of tune ; the bars are struck by strikers, the 

 same as the wires are in a Piano, only they ^*ork automati- 

 cally iusteid of by the fingers. The strip of prepared 

 paper in which the tune is stamped or jierforated is about 

 It) inches wide, aud as it passes through the rolleis and 

 over tU© keys the strikers irpring througu the perforatiitns 

 in the paper aud strike the right note; this is all done autu- 

 maiicully without any asHietH-uce from fliM (Operator (except 

 taruiag the rollers), and ttje tune is j'layed as perfectly as 

 by 'he most expert musician, it would be one of the most 

 appropriate presents to make anyone, esi ecially where i here 

 is no Piano. In ])Oiut of execution and fiueues^ of tone it 

 will compare favorably with a fine music-box, and its 

 capacity 18 unlimited. We predict this instrument a mds 

 wonderful sale. It is going fuaier than any mu8ic.il iu- 

 Btrument ever iuveuted. Ita action is perfectly marvel- 

 Ions. The music is 8Ui)erb, aud everyhody delighted. 

 No knowledge of music-required, and a child can operate 

 it and furuish mu<ic lor any occasiim. Make your child a 

 sensible present, one which will amuse and instruct not 

 only the ciiiUl but the whole houst-huld. The price of the 

 Phonograph Piano is ouly 85, and a selection of tunes 

 goes with each instrument. BoxelFREE aud sent to auy 

 addre.ss ou receipt of price. Addresa TII« M-ISNA-

 from parties who know nothing of the business of raising 

 seeds.

 careful attention to the the one subjsct, and cannot be ac- 

 quired in a short time by those whose attention has been 

 engros-;ed with other puiBuits.

 SONS (now ci'mpiising 1,674 acres), flrsf. foundc^) 1784, and 

 passing throxiyh three generations, lias beeu coi-ducted 

 with the view of producing Seeds of the very best and 

 purest quality.
