have the pleasure of offering to amateur cultivators and 
the trade generally, the following superior new fruits, of which 
they possess the entire stock, and are now first offered for 
BOSTON PEAR. 
A new native summer variety, ripening from the middle to 
last of August, just before the Bartlett, of large size, with a 
beautiful waxen yellow skin, and a red cheek, superior to any 
variety of its season. 
This fine pear was first exhibited by Messrs. Hovey & Co. 
before the Mass. Hort. Soc. in 1849, and repeatedly since that 
time, obtaining the highest commendation of the Fruit Com¬ 
mittee, who have spoken of it as follows : 
“ From Hovey & Co. a new native pear, of good size, fair 
and handsome, of a brisk vinous flavor, fully equal to an 
Urbaniste in its best condition, and one of the finest early 
pears,”—Report of Aug. 1850. 
"The Messrs. II. & Co. have also presented this season a 
native variety of great beauty and of fine quality, which 
promises to rank among the best of our early pears.”— Hon. 
M. P. Wilder, in the Horticulturist, 1851. 
In 1850, the Mass. Hort. Soc. awarded Messrs. H. & Co. the 
premium to the variety, as the best summer pear. 
In 1853, the Mass. Hort. Soc. awarded Messrs. II. & Co. a 
gratuity of $20 for the introduction of this variety. 
Fine trees of large size, 5 feet high, will be ready for sale on 
the 1st of April next, at $5 each. A few trees of very large 
size, full of flower-buds, $10 each. 
HOVEY CHERRY. 
This new and superb Cherry was raised from seed by 
Messrs. H. & Co., and is one of the largest and most beautiful 
cherries known. It measures more than an inch in diameter, 
and is produced in clusters of twenty or thirty cherries each. 
The color is amber, beautifully shaded with deep coral red. 
N. B. To those who take sufficient to plant four acres, as 
he directs, he will, when they commence bearing, furnisli the 
owner with one of his vinedressers whom he has instructed 
in his own mode of cultivation ; and he will do all the labor of

jgjTETCHUM’S IMPROVED MOWING MACHINE WITH 
Ha. entire change of gear. The only successful mower now 
known. 
Ketchum’s Improved Machine, which we are building for 
the harvest of ’54, was thoroughly tested last season, and the 
advantages gained by our change of Gear are in all respect3 
as we designed, viz ; durability, convenience and ease of ac¬ 
tion. The shafts now have bearings at both ends, which 
overcomes all cramping and cutting away of boxes. A counter 
balance is attached to the crank shaft, which gives it a steady 
and uniform motion. Eacli Machine can be thrown out of 
gear; there is great convenience in getting at each and 
every nut, all of them being on upper side of the frame ; oil 
cups are attached to all the bearings, which, by the use of a 
wad of cotton, will hold oil for a long time, as well as protect 
the bearings from dust, grit, &c.; the finger bar is lined with 
iron its full width, which protects it from wear. 
These and various other additions for strength, durability, 
&c., makes them the most simple and perfect agricultural im¬ 
plement in use. They weigh about 750 lbs. each, and can 
easily be carried in a one-horse wagon. 
They will cut all kinds of grass, and operate well on un¬ 
even or rolling lands, or where there are dead furrows. This 
Machine took the highest award, with special approbation, 
at the World’s Fair, it also received, during last season, one 
silver and four gold medals, and various other flattering and 
substantial testimonials of approval. We have spared nei¬ 
ther pains normoney to make them deserving of public favor, 
and hope to be able the coming season to supply the great 
and increasing demand. 
We take this occasion to caution farmers against buying 
untried Mowers, if they do (as was the case with many last 
year) they incur loss, vexation and disapointment. 
83T" In all cases where Extras are wanted, be sure to give 
US THE NUMBER OF YOUR MaCUINE. 
(Warranty :) That said Machines are capable of cutting 
and spreading, with one span of horses and driver, from ten 
to fifteen acres per day of any kind of grass, and do it as 
well as is done with a scythe by the best of mowers.
