CATALOGUE FOR 1«35. 

 Just published, a Catalosue of the NEW 

 ENGLAND SEED A.ND AGRICULTURAL 

 WAREHOUSE — comprising an unusual clioioe 

 collection of Garden and Flower Seeds, raised 

 ill llie Gardens connected wiili ihe Establiilnnenl. 

 The loilowing- from the preface e.xplanis the principles i)i 

 relerence lo which Ihe business will be condncled. 



When the Agfimttwal Warehouse and New England Seed 

 Store was commenced, il was allogclher problematical wlielher 

 those engaged in the difierenl branches of rural economy would 

 give support to such an eslahlislimonl, and Ihe propriekirs in- 

 curred very considerable expense, as well as bestowed much 

 lime and e.ierlion to make il what the Farmers auo Gardeners 

 of New England very much needed, lo wit, a Reposilorv from 

 which could be obtained Seeds, &,c. which might be relied on 

 as irue lo their kind and of the best qualilv. The experience 

 and experiments of a series of years, enable us now lo give 

 assurance of satisfaction lo those who mav comm"iice or will 

 conlmue iheir patronage. We have complelod our aiilieipriled 

 arrangements in ihe seed deparlmenl in such a ina.nuc/ tUi'i we 

 are well assured of a full supply of seeds, raised umfcrour own 

 direction. We are Ihus placed in a condition lo supply seeds, 

 of warranted good quality ; and arrangements have been made 

 lo import from Europe those kinds which biil fairest lo he most 

 uselul, best adapted lo our soil and climate, and on which reli- 

 ance can be placed thai with proper treatment tliey will uolfail 

 to germinate. 



fii a business of this description, il cannot be expected but 

 thai complaints will sometimes be made of seeds not vegetalino- ; 

 but candid men will allow that the fault is nol always in the 

 seed. The best seed may fail of coining up, on several accounts; 

 some kinds may be sown too early, and be chilled in the ground 

 iu dry seasons, by the burning rays of the sun — Ihev are often 

 eaten by worms and insects, and are frequenllv covered loo 

 deep in the earlh, particularly delicate flower seeds. The best 

 method of proving the qualiiy of Ihe seed is to sow a few in a 

 box of loose earlh, placed in a warm room, keeping the earth 

 moist. If the seed is good, il will vcgelale in a reasonable 

 lime. A quicker method is to roll up a few seeds in a quantity 

 oficet moss, which will soon delermine Ibeir character. 



It was long before the business would warrant the expenses 

 now incurring; and it is for the public lo decide to what extern 

 Ibcy will give their patronage to an establishment conducted 

 on the principles, enjoying the advantages, and favored with 

 the prospects above mentioned. 



This Catalogue cmtains 80 pages ; will be sent Gratis to 

 dealers, patrons and friends of the Establishment, and Orders 

 For articles contained therein will meet with prompt and faithful

WITH EMBELLISHMENTS. 



Thkre is a very considerable extent of meaning to the 

 word Horticulture,— and in our modern definition we 

 have included the branches of Gardening, of Orcharding 

 and the cultivation of Flowers ; it will therefore be ob- 

 vious that the title of the work proposed embraces arts of 

 culture of great and increasing importance. The study 

 of Botany has recently been made a part of the education 

 of children, and its advantages and pleasures will ensure 

 it increasing attention. As an assistance to acquiring 

 the taste for, and increasing the attention to, this delight- 

 ful study, the work proposed will be of much advantage. 

 It will be conducted after the manner of the London' 

 Horticultural Register, and of Loudon's Magazine. The 

 department of Horticulture, embracing more particularly 

 that of Fruits, will be aided by a gentleman of eminent 

 knowledge and correctness as to their nomenclature ; 

 and that of Vegetable Gardening, will be conducted by 

 the Editor. That of Floriculture by a professional Florist. 

 Orders are out for all the important Foreign Periodi- 

 cals, and from these will be made selections of all new 

 and important articles, with descriptions of new Fruits 

 and Flowers which may be brought into notice. 



The work will be published monthly, on fine paper 

 octavo size, and contain forty pages each month with a 

 neat cover, and alforded at the low price of two doll.^rs 

 per annum. If sufficient encouragement be given, the 

 work, after the first volume, will be increased and ex- 

 pensive drawings introduced. 



Suliserijitio/i papers will be found at the New Engtenfl 

 Farmer Office, at the bookstores of Russell, Odiorne & 

 Co. and Hilliard, Gray & Co., and at the counting room 

 of the Mercantile Journal, State Street, Boston, — and at
