Wilhs s latest Improv 1 .i:. . I llio last sea- 



son ; one of the most perlect macliines ever nilroduced fur 

 the purpose. In using this machine, the farmer may he cer- 

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

 time ill the best possiMe manner. There has been a great 

 difficulty in machines for sowing garden seeds ; they are 

 very a|it to clo^ up, and the farmer might go over an acre of 

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

 constructed that it cannot possibly clog. In using this sov/er, 

 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 ; 

 il 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 Baga, Mangel Wurlzel, 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 and 

 Seed Store by JOSEPH BRECK & CO.

BRUSS.\. MUliUERRY. 



A fresh lot of s-enuinc Brussa Mulberry Seed just received 

 at the New Enalaud Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store, 

 Nos. 51 and isa North Market Street This species of Mul- 

 berry flourishes best in high and eve.n poor lands, and is 

 more likely to endure the rigors of our severe winetrs and 

 not so subject to 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- 

 tain a much greater quantity of saccharine matter, than anv 

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

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

 susceptible of being raised in climates, where the frosts are 



At the annual fair of the American Institute, at New 

 York, in October last, specimens of the leaves of the Bnissa 

 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 useful plant, calculated to withstand the rigors of our 

 climate, are worthy of attention, and those introducing theni 

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

 our country's benefactors."
