THE 
Great Buffalo Strawberry, 
SMITES BUFFALO SEEDLING. 
Originated in SS37- by Kcv. TV. S. Smitn, 
on his Grounds in SSuffalo, New- York:. 
Of all the varieties of the Strawberry, that have been in- 
troduced, each kind has been found wanting in one or more 
important quality, so that it is now admitted by nil fruit 
growers that the great desideratum in the strawberry 
world, is a fruit, in which are combined all the essential 
Qualities of the most popular varieties. 
The subscribers take great pleasure in announcing to the 
public that sucli a Strawberry has at length been produced. 
Having thoroughly tested it for five years, we are now 
able to make the announcement, that the "Buffalo" com. 
BINES IN ITSELF AND DISTINCTLY AND PERFECTLY DEVE- 
LOPS EVEP.Y ESSENTIAL QUALITY THAT CAN BE FOUND IN 
axl the best varieties ; in fact, it Is not deficient in any- 
thing essential to a superior aud universally popular Straw- 
berry. 
Its great productiveness, size, flavor and firmness, with 
many other remarkable qualities, make It the best Straw- 
berry ever introduced, and we challenge the AYosld to 
produce its equal. 
Extract from testimonial of Benj. Hodse, Esq., an old 
imrseryuian and one of tb3 largest fruit growers in foe 
mate, and who has for two years personally examined our 
beds while in bearing : 
" Its combination of SUPE3IOK QUALITIES renders the 
"Buffalo Seedling," in my opinios, the best Strawberry 
rilAT nAB YET BEEN INTBODTTOED TO 'SU.K AMERICAN 
public." BENJAMIN HODGE. 
From Hon. T. C. Peters, a popular Agriculturist aud 
Amateur : 
"Its GREAT PRODUCTIVENESS, SIZE and FIRMNESS OF FLESH 
and its sweet, delicious flavor make it an unrivalled 
Berry, both for Market and Amateurs. I think it will prove 
the best variety of Strawberry yet brought to public, notice."

of temperature.

for their use, as has been proved.

if not entirely satisfactory, return it.

Putnam: Mfg. Co : 
Gentlemen.— I know from practical experience that iron 
well galvanized with zinc will not oxidize or rust one parti- 
cle. I can safely say, after several vears experience in the 
manufacture of chain, for chain-pump and water-drawers, in 
which I have tested the affinity of iron and zinc, that if the 
process be conducted properly, itis a perfect weld of the two. 
Nearly one year ago my family commenced using one of 
your Wringers. It now performs all of its functions as well 
as it did the first time it was used, and has become an indis- 
pensable article with us. I have closelv observed several 
other kinds of clothes-wringers, the modus operandi being 
different, trying to produce the same results as the Putnam 
Wringer, but in my judgment they have failed. The Put- 
nam vv ringer is as near perfect as possible, and I can cheer- 
fully recommend it to be the best in use. 
Respectfully yours, 
JOHN W. WHEELER. 
Many years' experience in the galvanizing business ena- 
bles me to indorse the above statement in all particulars.
