§elf-§caliiig Casas asid Jars. 
Since the introduction of these now celebrated Cans and Jars, 
over 
HALF-A-MILLION H&VE BEEN SOLD, 
and notwithstanding all sorts of contrivances for the accomplish¬ 
ment of the same object, most of which were little less than 
frauds upon housekeepers, have been offered to the public, the 
simplicity of Arthur’s, the ease with which they are managed, 
and the certainty of result , have made them the favorite Cans 
and Jars everywhere ; and now in 
THE FOURTH YEAR 
since their introduction, their reputation stands, by general 
acknowledgment, far above any other can or jar in the market 
In proof of this, we quote, from almost innumerable testimonials, 
this one from the 
EDITOR OF THE LADY'S BOOK. 
in the number for July, 1858. He says:— 
14 These celebrated Cans and Jars, the first introduced and, by 
all odds, the best, are steadily coming into general use. Thou¬ 
sands of housekeepers, who, m past seasons, were tempted to 
try other cans and jars, and who lost more or less of their fruit 
in consequence, will be glad to learn that Arthur’s never fails. 
For two seasons we have said, use no other , and we repeat the ad¬ 
vice .” 
Arthur’s Cans and Jars are 
ALL PREPARED FOR SEALING. 
They have a channel around the mouth, on the outside, filled 
with cement when sold, and all ready for sealing* You have, after 
filling your vessel with hot. fruit, only to heat your lid, and press 
it into the cement, when the work is done. If directions are 
followed carefully, success is always certain. 
PATENT STAMP. 
*** Take Notice, that Arthur’s Cans and Jars all bear the 
Patent Stamp. On the Tin Cans you will find it impressed in 
ihe metal; on the earthenware Jars, in an oval on the bottom', 
and in raised letters on the sides of the Glass Jars.

transportation is well known. 
The Protector is designed for the safe conveyance of peaches, 
plums, strawberries, blackberries, eggs, or anything that requires 
more than ordinary care. Specimens may be seen at 
R I., ALLEN’S, No. 191 TVater-st , New-York.

The Great Strawberry. 
Felten’s iBBapa-oved ASfoasay Seedling 
Sts'awbei’B-y, 
grown by A. L. FELTEN, of Philadelphia, is now offered for 
the first time to the public with the assurance, that in all the 
points which constitute a really desirable first class fruit, 
(whether for market or private use) it stands without a rival. 
Itis not only of extraordinary size, but it is far more prolific 
than any other known variety The yield has been satisfactori¬ 
ly proven to be fully double that of the most esteemed kinds. 
Its color is a deep, rich, glossy red ; while in point of flavor, it is 
not excelled. THE FELTEN SEEDLING is remarkably 
solid and firm fleshed—which adapts it admirably for carrying 
to market, preserving, &c Being a hermaphrodite, and a re¬ 
markably early and late bearer, it may justly be regarded as the 
most desirable strawberry in the market. Combining as it does 
the great essentials of extraordinary size, great productiveness, 
fine color and flavor, unusual firmness of flesh, and late and 
early bearing.it is offered to the public with the confident be¬ 
lief that it is destined to supercede all others. 
Price of Plants, $3 per dozen, or 815 per hundred, securely 
packed, and delivered at any city Express or Depot, free of 
charge. A handsome illustration of the fruit, natural size, 
drawn fiom the growing plant, furnished on post-paid .applica¬ 
tion

to secure them. As the entire stock of planisare now in our 
possession, purchasers are cautioned^against all attempts to sup¬ 
ply them except through our house.
