NEW AN a, I MPROVED POIBRETTE 
Made by the Lodi Manufacturing Co., may be had at the office 
of the Company, No. 43 Liberty Street, New York, or at their 
Factory on the Hackensack River, in New Jersey, or by letter, 
post paid, addressed to “ President of the Lodi Manufacturing 
Co., New York,” or from the several agents who advertise it for 
sale, in the country. 
Terms, Cash on Delivery. —For one Barrel, $2; 2 do., $3.50; 
3 do., $5 ; 4 do., and up to 6 , at $1.67 each ; 7 do., $1.50, is $10.50; 
and $1.50 per Barrel for any greater quantity—delivered at any 
wharf or place in the City of New York, free of expense. 
The Company have now on hand several thousand barrels of 
their new and improved article, composed of night soil, com¬ 
pounded with various other Substances, every one of which is a 
good manure by itself. 
The Poudrette made by this Company, is different from that 
made by any other concern in Europe or America. It contains no 
raw-peat, turf, or meadow mud, or any other inert substance ; it 
is not like the old fashioned Poudrette, which will generally only 
last for a single crop, but its effects will last for years. It has 
been tried extensively for the last 2 years on Long Island, in Con¬ 
necticut, New Jersey and elsewhere, and has answered to such a 
degree, that already a very large increased demand for the next 
season has been manifested. 
If used according to directions, it will be found according to 
experiments which have been made, to possess the following pro¬ 
perties :— 
1st. It is quicker in its operation upon vegetable matter than 
any other Poudrette or other Manure. It has ripened corn for 
table use in 60 days, and will ripen other crops several weeks 
sooner. 
2d. It is more fertilizing; and its fructifying Powers are greater 
as proved by the increased yield; its effects are lasting, and by 
its powers of attraction, it absorbs from the atmosphere, humidi¬ 
ty, ammonia, carbonic acid, and nitrogen, and retains their fer¬ 
tilizing properties, giving them out only as vegetation requires 
them for nutrition, thereby, obviating the effects of a long 
drought. 
3d. It will be found to be the richest, cheapest, and best ma¬ 
nure now in use. It saves in labor, its whole cost in comparison 
with the labor attending barnyard manure. 
4th. Potatoes manured with Poudrette, are not subject to Rot, 
or other disease, as when manured with barnyard manure.

FARMS FOR SAL E. 
FASTOLFF RASPRERRY. 
The subscriber has much pleasure in stating, that he can exe 
cute orders for canes of the above highly valuable and much 
esteemed Raspberry, unequalled for the extraordinary size of itt 
fruit, and richness of flavor. In England it is considered superior 
to all other varieties, and at various horticultural exhibitions, hat 
carried oft'the prizes. Dr. Lindley’s opinion of it is thus express 
ed “ We find it merits all that has been stated in favor of itt 
excellence. The fruit is very large, obtusely conical, and of riel 
flavor. The plants bear abundantly, and in long succession.” 
It is scarcely necessary to recommend it more fully, or witl 
greater confidence to the notice of the public. It continues in high 
perfection throughout the autumnal months, and requires no othei 
treatment than that ordinarily bestowed on the older varieties. 
Fine canes are ready for delivery, and can be sent with safety 
to any part of the United States, upon the following terms: 
Packages containing 25 canes, - - - - $8 00 
Do do 12 do, - 5 00 
Single canes, - -- -- -- - 50 
These plants are warranted the true Fastolff Raspberry; and as 
the stock is limited, early orders only can secure a few plants. 
Orders addressed to the undersigned will receive attention— 
and from unknown applicants, a remittance, or satisfactory refer¬ 
ence is requested. M. J. HOWARD.
