BRUSSA. mui.iee:rrt. 



I A fresh lot of genuine Brussa Mulberry Seed just received 

 it the New Ensland Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 and f52 North Miirket Street This species of Mul- 

 berry flourishes best in high aud q^qw poor lands, and is 

 more likely to endure the rigors of our severe wioetrs and 



. aot so subject lo the effect of the frost, as trees brought from 

 more southern latitudes, or warmer climes. 



The leaves of the Morus alba of Brussa, are said to con- 

 lain a much greater quantity of saccharine matter, than anv 

 nher of the white species, and moreover, the leaf is much 



\ larger than those of Italy and Spain ; it is also a hardy tree, 



i susceptible of iieing raised in climates, where the frosts are 



[severe. 



I At the annual fair of the American Institute, at New 

 Vorli, in October last, specimens of the leaves of the Brussa 

 tree, of different yeais' growth, were exhibited, and excited 

 universal approbation, and the Institute awarded a silver 

 medal for the introduction of this invaluable tree, observing 

 in the report of the committee, " that these with every new 

 and uselul plant, calculated to withstand the rigors of our 

 climate, are worthy of attention, and those introducing them 

 into our country, deserve to be placed ou the catalogue of 



iour country's benefactors."

WILLISES LATEST IMPROVEU SEKD SOW^EU 



A very 

 months old, very large of thei 

 May IS. eptf 



Willis's latest Improved Seed Sower, invented the last sea- 

 son ; one of the most perfect machines ever introduced for 

 the purpose. In using this machine, the farmer mav be cer- 

 tain that his seed is put into the ground, and at the same 

 time in the best possible manner. There has been a great 

 difficulty in machines for sowing garden seeds ; they are 

 very apt to clog up, and the farmer might go over an acre of 

 land and not sow a single seed ; but not so with this ; it is so 

 constructed that it cannot possibly clog. In using this sovjcr, 

 the farmer can save one half of his seed, and do the work at 

 less than one quarter the expense of the common way of 

 sowing his seeds, and have it done in a much better manner; 

 it opens the furrow, drops the seed, and covers it over and 

 rolls them down. It will sow almost any kind of Garden 

 Seeds; say Ruta Ba^a, Mangel Wurtzel, Turnips, Carrots, 

 Beets, Parsnips, Onions. It is highly recommended by 

 a great number of persons who have used it the present 

 season. For sale at the N. E. Agricultural Warehouse aud 

 Seed Store by JOSEPH BRECK & CO.
