UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD COMPANY. 
SOUTHERN BRANCH. 
The Lands now offered by this Company are situated 
mainly within twenty miles on each side of the road, extend- 
ing one hundred and seventy miles along the NEOSHO 
VALLEY", the richest, finest, and most inviting valley for 
settlement in the "West. 
One-third of the labor required at the East In the culture 
of farms will insure here double the amount of crops. For 
orchards, g-ape culture, and small fruit in general, it is 
un equaled. 
BUILDING MATERIAL AND FENCING of every vari- 
ety and In great abundance. 
STOCK RAISING.— The rich native grasses of the prairies 
and bottoms, with the large area of unoccupied lands in 
connection with the dry, mild, and open winters, present 
uncqualed advantages lor the raising of cattle, sheep, and 
horses. 
DAIRYING. —In such a country, with ranges for stock un- 
restricted, and pasture limitless, the production of butter 
and cheese muse be profitable. 
FRUIT GROWING is one of the specialties, as demon- 
strated by tlie Gold Medal awarded to the State of Kansas 
by the Pennsylvania State Horticultural Society for "a 
COLLECTION OF FBUITS UXSUEPASSKD FOR SIZE," BEAUTY, 
AND FLAVOR." 
THE CLIMATE AND HEALTH of Kansas are unequal- 
ed. These, indeed, are anions its chief excellencies, and are 
recommendations for settlement.

FARM IMPLEMENTS AND MACHINERY. 
The principles of their construction and use ; with sim- 
ple and practical explanations of the laws of motion and 
force as applied on the farm. By John J. Tliomns. 
With 2S7 illustrations. Trice $1.50. 
The basis of this admirable work was an essay published 
Inl&jO, in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Agricultural 
Society, which was enlarged, and in 1S34 published by the 
Harpers. It has been, and remains, the only work in which 
the principles of Natural Philosophy, namely, the mechani- 
cal powers, and the powers of water, wind, and heat, are 
systematically discussed as applied to the operations of the 
farm. This work has now been most carefully revised by 
the author. It is much enlarged, and a great part lias been 
re-written, while the illustrations, before abundant, now 
number two hundred and eighty-seven. There is not an agri- 
cultural writer that conld be named more respected than 
John J. Thomas, or one whose judgment and freedom from 
personal bias in discussing new implements could be more 
implicitly relied upon. 
NEW A3IERICAN FARM BOOK. 
Originally by Richard L.. Allen. Revised and greatly 
enlarged by Lewis F. Allen. Price $2.50. 
Allen's American Farm Cook has been one of the standard 
farmers* hand-books for twenty years; it is still a valuable 
book,butnotupto the times; and as its author,Mr.R.L. Allen, 
could not give time to its revision, this was undertaken by 
his brother, Hon. Lewis F. Allen, the distinguished farmer 
of Erie county, editor of the American Shorthorn Herd- 
Book. The work is greatly enlarged, and full of suggestions 
from the rich experience of its editor and reviser, and is 
called the Neic American Farm Book. 
HOW CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on tlie Chemical Composition, structure, and 
Life of the Plant. With numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel \V. Jo!ni-;:n. oi 
Tale College. Price fJ.CO. 
This book is a guide to the knowledge of agricultural 
plants, their composition, their structure, and modes of de- 
velopment and growth; of the complex organization of 
plants, and the uses of the parts, the germination of seeds 
and the food of plants, obtained both from the air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses are given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in the same and 
different plants. The book is an invaluable one to all real 
students of agriculture. 
HIGH FARMING WITIIOUT MANURE. 
Six Lectures on Agriculture, by Mr. George Ville, Pro- 
fessor of Vegetable Physiology, Paris. IV. vol., 10S pp. 
A second edition of this valuable manual, under the direc- 
tion of the Massachusetts Society for promoting agricul-

PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE. 
A guide to the successful propagation and cultivation of 
Florists' Plants. By Peter Henderson, author ot " Gar- 
dening for Profit." Beautifully illustrated. Price $1.50. 
Certainly the most practical and desirable work that has 
ever been published on this subject. Wc are selling them 
rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes the "se- 
crets" of the Trade too freely, and that it will make Garden- 
ers and Propagators so plenty that our occupation, like 
Othello's, will be gone.— H. A. Dkef.k, Seedsman, Tliila., Pa. 
Full to overflowing with valuable information. 
Francis RtciiAunsox, Toronto, Canada. 
Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel.— X. Y. Sun. 
Just the work for the young Florist or Amateur, as it tells 
him clearly there is no such thing as failure, if its simple 
teachings arc followed. 
Galyin & Geeagiitt, Florists, Newport, R. I. 
PARSONS ON THE ROSE. 
A Treatise on the Propagation, Culture, and History of 
the Kose. Revised and newly electrotyped. Illustrated, 
By Samuel U. Parsons. Price $1.50. 
The Hose is the only flower that can be Faid to have a his- 
tory. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. In bis 
work upon the Kose, Mr. Parsons has gathered up the curi- 
ous legends concerning the flower, and gives us an idea of 
the esteem in which it was held in former times. A simple 
garden classification has been adopted, and the leading vari- 
eties under each class enumerated and briefly described. 
The chapters on multiplication, cultivation, and training. 
are very full, and the work is altogether the most complete 
of any before the public.
