MANUFACTURING COMP'Y, 
having Unci an experience of over four 
years in the manufacture of Tin-Lined 
Lead Pipe, aurt having liad ponderous 
machinery constructed, the largest in 
the world, for this kind of pipe, have 
reached that perfection in its construc- 
tion which leaves nothing to desire. Our 
patent tin-lined lead pipe is as flexible 
and easily worked as ordinary lead pipe, 
and costs but little more per loot. Water flows through it as 
fmre as at the fountain head, and free from the slightest 
aint of lead poison or iron rust. In addition to the pTmrib- 
lng of honse?, it is largely - used for conveying warer from 
springs and wells ; also, for oeer-numps. mineral waters and 
distilleries— in fact, wherever pnritv and safety to health arc 
desirable. Circulars and samples of pipe sent bv mail free.

The Eumelan Grape 
Justly claims the fir at place among American Grapes, for 
eitker the table or wine. The past four years it has been 
very generally introduced throughout the United States, 
and fully confirms its past 3'J years 1 history, as being the 
most hardy, vigorous grower, prolific and earliest of all, 
■while in quality it is uncqualed by any black grape known, 
for cither the table or for wine, ripening fully and thorough- 
ly to the center. "We advise every one who wishes to grow 
grape-vines for the Garden or Vineyard, to send for our Cir- 
cular containing its past history, and the advantages to 
plant the Eumelan in preference to any other kind. 
Agents wanted in every town. Send stamp for Circular

(Fig. 79, Page 57 of our Large Catalogue.) 
(Send for a Special Illustrated Circular.) 
THIS DIGGER cam be Obtained at all Ag- 
ricultural Warehouses tUrougliout tlie 
United States and British. Provinces. 
This testimonial is from one who on first trial condemned 
the implement, but a little experience showed him its value : 
"Seville Statiox, Medina County, Ohio, 
November 4, 1SG9. 
lam more and more pleased with your Potato Dicker. 
Yesterday, with four little bovs following me, I measured 
up one hundred and twenty bushels of Peach Blows, (un- 
derstand that they are the worst kind, to dig;) to-day, with 
the same boys' help, 1 loaded one hundred and sixty bushels 
for the station, and picked after the Digger one hundred 
bushels, and the same team hauled two of them ; had also 
two little girls in addition to the help. I would not. take a 
hundred dollars for it if I could not get another similar one. 
ST. F. BOSTWICK." 
"P. S— One great item in regard to this machine is, the 
potatoes come out of the ground" without scratches?' 
As we anticipate a very large demand for our Diggers dur- 
ing the coming season, we urge our friends to send us their 
orders at once. The loss of interest on the remittance will 
be trifling, and the certainty of securing the plow in season, 
for the crop will be a great advantage. 
Send §i5 for the Iron Plow, or $25 for the Steel Plow, by 
bank draft on Xew York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore or 
Boston ; by Post-Office Order, or by bills per express or 
mail, and the plow shall be sent at once. 
Bank drafts are the best form of remittance, but the others 
arc all safe.

now CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, structure, ami 
Life of the Plant. With numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Saniucl WV . JTolnison, of 
Yale College. Price $2.00, 
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 arc 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. 
AGRICULTURAL QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITA- 
TIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. 
After E. 'Wolff, Presenilis, Krocker, and others. Edited by 
Prof. G. C. Caldwell, of Cornell University. Price $3.00. 
In this work Professor Caldwell has brought together the 
processes of analysis which apply especially to soils, fertil- 
izers, animals and plants, and their products. He has tested 
the methods of the best foreign authorities, and presented 
them in a compact hand-hook. Such a work lias long been 
needed by all who teach agricultural chemistry, and by 
analytical chemists generally. Professor Caldwell modestly 
calls himself the editor, but his book shows that he has not 
contented himself with editing the Works of others, but has 
given much of his own experience. 
PARSONS ON THE ROSE. 
A Treatise on the Propagation, Culture, and History of 
the Rose. Revised and newly electrotyped. Illustrated. 
By Samuel B. Parsons. Price $1.50. 
The Rose is the only flower that can be said to have a his- 
tory. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. In his 
work tipon the Rose, Mr. Parsons has gathered up the curi- 
ous legends concerning the llower, and gives us an idea of 
the esteem iu which it was held in former times. A simple 
garden classiilcation has been adopted) and the leading vari- 
eties under each claps enumerated and briefly described. 
The chapters on multiplication, cultivation, and training, 
are very full, and the work la altogether the most complete 
of any before the public. 
PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE, 
A guide to the successful propagation and cultivation of 
Florists' Plant-;. 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. We arc selling them 
rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes the "sr- 
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 aone.— H. A. Dr.EKr., Seedsman, Phila., Pa. 
Full to overflowing with valuable Information. 
Francis RiciiAnr>so\-, Toronto, Canada. 
Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel.— JT. 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 are followed.
