PROSPECTUS. 



NE\V ENGI-ANB FARMER, ASD 

 HORTICULTUKAL. .lOIKXAI.. 



THIS is K paper devoted to Agriculture, Horticulture, 

 and Rural Economy. It is conducted by Thomas G. 

 Fkssf.ndkn, assisted py a number of agricultural wri- 

 ters, and by the observations of many of the best practi- 

 cal Cultivators in New England ; and published by 

 Geo. C. BAiiRKrr. 



The New England Farmer is printed with a now and 

 elegant type, and paper of superior quality, in a quarto 

 form, paged, making a volume of 410 pages annually, to 

 which a title ]>age and ind«x are furnished gratis. Tliis 

 Journal has been published J2 year.s, during which time 

 the most unremitted e.xertions have been made by the 

 Editor to render it acceptable and useful to the Fanner 

 and Gardener. 



The value of the New England Farmer is enhanced 

 by its being made the vehicle for publishing the results 

 of the discoveries and improvements which are elicited 

 by means of that most useful association, the Mussachu- 

 srtts IlorlicuUurid Society. By a vote of the membeis 

 of that valuable institution, all communications on Hor- 

 ticultural topics, addressed to the President, are to be 

 published regularly in the New England Farmer, so that 

 this Journal will contain the complete transactions of the 

 Society. 



By concentrating all these advantages, it is thought 

 that the volumes of the New England Farmer will con- 

 tain so large a collection of useful facts, and details or 

 notices of e.vperiments connected with agriculture and 

 its kindred branches of gardening, orcharding, &c. as to 

 be found worthy of a place in the library of every fanner. 

 A weekly report of the sales at Brighton — the state of 

 tiie markets, crops, &c. — and occasionally drawings of 

 acricultural implements, &c. will be found in this Jour- 

 nal. 



The New England Farmer is published every Wed- 

 nesday evening at the low price of $3,00 per annum, 

 from which a discount of fifty cents is made to those 

 who pay in advance. 



Gentlemen who procure five subscribers, and forward 

 the payment for the s.ame will be allowed a si.xth copy 

 gratis. New subscribers can be furnished wlvh the back 

 numbers of the current volume. 



Editors with whom we exchange, who may feel dis- 

 posed to give this one or two insertions, will confer a fa- 

 vor which will be reciprocated with pleasure on any oc- 

 casion.
