OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
Mr. Browne was bred and brought up a practical farmer. From 
his intimate knowledge of the history and habits of our domestic 
animals, having devoted, probably, more attention to the subject, 
as a whole, by reading and observation, than any other individual 
in the country, the task of preparing this work was assigned 
to him. — Salem Register. 
The style of the engravings and the mechanical execution of the 
work are excellent. — Maine Farmer. 
An extensive work on poultry, embracing every information 
desired. — JV. H. Telegraph. 
We commend the book and the subject to the thoughts of 
fanners. — Vt. Watchman. 
Every one who may purchase a copy, upon a perusal of the 
same, will be fully satisfied that his money was well spent. — 
Bristol Phaznix. 
It is one of the best treatises on the Domestic Fowl ever pub- 
lished. — New-Haven Palladium. 
The details into which this book enters, on all the subjects con- 
nected with the profitable raising of fowls, are precisely of that 
minute and practical character which is needed. — JV. Y. Evan- 
gelist. 
We are glad to see that the evident demand for information 
on the subject of rearing Domestic Fowls has called out so valuable 
a work as the one before us. — JV. Y. Daily Tribune. 
It contains matter to interest and instruct upon almost every- 
thing that concerns the poultry yard, and bears the impress in 
its pages that its editor was well qualified to fulfil the task he 
undertook.— .tfmer/cflji Farmer. 
It is the most complete book of its class ever published, and 
quite indispensable to all who are interested in raising poultry. — 
Charleston. S. C, Weekly Gazette. 
No farmer among us would remain a day longer without the 
work, did he but know its value. — Rahway Register. 
It is unquestionably the cheapest and best work of the kind 
extant, and should have a place in every farmer's library. — Qer- 
rnantoion, Ohio, Gazette. 
The volume is enriched by an Appendix from the the pen of 
Mr. Samuel Allen, an experienced breeder of fowls, who has taken 
much pains to improve the stock in this country.— JV. Y. Weekly 
Tribune,

COMMERCIAL GARDEN AN5S NURSERY. 
PARSONS & CO., at Flushing, near New York. The pro- 
prietors of this establishment invite public attention to their 
large assortment of every desirable variety of Fruit and Orna- 
mental Tree or Shrub. Their importations of everything new in 
Europe are annually continued, and they offer a very large variety 
of Ornamental Trees and Shrubs imported expressly for arbore- 
tums and pleasure grounds. Their collection of Roses is annually 
enriched by novelties from abroad, many of which may be found 
described in their new work on the Rose, recently published. 
Fruit Trees receive their particular attention, and are propagated 
under their personal supervision. This care, with their possession 
of extensive specimen grounds, in which is tested every variety 
of fruit they cultivate, enables them confidently to guarantee the 
genuineness of the varieties. 
Their care in pruning and cultivation enables them also to send 
out thrifty and well-formed trees. From their large scale of pro- 
pagation, they can offer to dealers very liberal discounts, where 
hundreds or thousands are taken. Orders or inquiries can be 
addressed to the proprietors at Flushing, near New York, where 
catalogues will also be furnished. They have established a Branch 
at Brighton Depot, near Boston,which, by the entire success of their 
trees transplanted thither, has thoroughly proved the superior 
adaptation of Long-Island Trees to the soil and climate of any part of 
New England. This they attribute to the perfect maturity attained 
by the wood before frost, which renders the trees suitable for trans- 
portation to any latitude. 
At the season of transplanting, a salesman will be at their 
Brighton Branch to furnish those who may prefer obtaining their 
supply thence. mhtf
