mence delivering plants in August, in rotation as ordered, at

S2*r*We the undersigned having ordered largely of the p'ants 
of the Austin Seedling Strawberry, subject to a countermand, 
if not satisfied when seeing the fruit and plants in bearing, 
were induced to visit Watervliet, where it originated, and see 
for ourselves the true condition of this variety. We found it 
growing in the most common way, in masses, and not in hills, 
without any particular care, and much injured by the drought, 
S et the great productiveness, and uniform larse size, and fine 
avor induces us, to consider the Austin as one of the best va¬ 
rieties in cultivation,and a great acquisition to our small fiui’s. 
We found the Austin averaging considerably larger than the 
Wilson, and about as productive, and from appearances will con¬ 
tinue to fruit into July.

Wm. T. Yose, Esq.: 
Dear Sir—After having used your “ Hydropult,” and seen ifs 
operation in watering plants in the green-house, washing win 
dows and carriages, we are fully prepared to recommend it as 
being one of the best articles for the purpose that has yet been 
invented. 
We have also been present at fires where its utility as a port¬ 
able Fire Engine has been fully tested and proved beyond a 
doubt. In one particular instance we have seen a large barn 
saved from destruction, when in imminent danger from the 
flames of a burning building within six feet of it* and which 
was totally destroyed. There was not water enough to be had 
to supply an ordinary fire engine. Yours respectfully
