"Within eight miles of the New York City ferries, a 
farm of 31 ACRES, with new, well-built, and finished 
dwelling (two-story and nttic), and a good, new barn. 
Good eoil, on an elevated location, and peculiarly well 
adapted for TRUCK GARDENING or Small 
Fruit, which, from, the easy ncceee to the New York 
markets, can be made very profitable. A good truck - 
farmer can make the farm pay for itself iu a very few 
years. New railroad facilities, opened and in progress, 
will make the land increase very rapidly in value. Trains 
to and from New York nearly every half-hour, from 514 
a.m. to midnight, run to depots, within 10 to 15 minutes' 
drive from this farm. The owner is in other business, 
and can not give attention to the farm, and will sell it at 
a good bargain. 
Terras, $4,000 to $6,000 cash, more or less ; the balance 
in easy payments. Price, $11,000.

CRANBERRY^ULTURE. 
By JOSEPH J. WHITE. 
ILLUSTRATED. PRICE, POST-PAID, $1.25. 
The author of this work has aimed to embody, in a plain 
and concise manner, all the useful and practical facts which 
study and experience have yielded to the inquiring cran- 
berry grower of the present time. The business has in- 
creased enormously within the last ten years, and knowledge 
and experience have kept pace with that increase. 
The endeavor has been to make tills work as comprehen- 
sive as possible ; and it is believed that it will prove an ef- 
ficient guide to all who may have cause to consult its pages.
