IN VESTMENT SECURITIES. 
Jay Cooke & Co. are now selling, and recom¬ 
mend as a profitable and safe investment for all 
classes, the First Mortgage 7-a*l> Gold Bonds of 
the Northern Pacific Railroad Company. They 
have 30 years to run, hear Seven and Three-Tenths 
per cent gold interest (more than @ per cent cur¬ 
rency), and are secured by first and only mortgage 
OK TIIE ENTIRE ROAD AND ITS EQUIPMENTS, and 
also, as fast as the Itoad is completed, on 33,000 
Acres of Land to every mile of track, or 500 acres 
for each 81,000 Bond. They are exempt from U. 
S. tax; principal and interest are payable in gold. 
Denominations: Coupons, $100 to $1,000; Regis- \ 
tered, $100 to $10,000. 
Northern Pacific 7-30s are at all times receiv¬ 
able, at ten per cent above pak, in exchange j 
for the Company’s lauds, at their lowest cash 
price. 
Tlic proceeds of all sales of lands are required to 
be devoted to the re-purchase and cancellation of 
the First Mortgage Bonds of the Compauy. The 
Land Grant of the Road exceeds Fifty Million 
Acres in the most fertile portion of the North-west, 
and the demand for tlic Company’s lands for set¬ 
tlement already exceeds the ability of the Govern¬ 
ment to complete the surveys. This immense 
Sinking Fund will undoubtedly cancel the principal 
of the Company’s bonded debt before it falls due. 
Holders of U. S. Five-Twenties, who wish to 
convert them into a first-class' railroad security, 
can do so at a present profit of about 13 per cent, 
while increasing their interest income nearly one 
fourth, by exchanging them for Northern Pacific 
7-30s. 
All marketable stocks and bonds will be received 
in exchange, free of express charges, at their high¬ 
est current price. Full information, maps, 
pamphlets, etc., will be furnished on application 
to any agent for the Loan, or to Jat Cooke & Co., 
New York, Philadelphia, or Washington.

A GUIDE TO THE 
Successful Propagation and Cultivation 
OF 
FLORISTS’ PLANTS, 
BY 
PETER HENDERSON, 
Author of “ Gardening for Profit.” 
BERGEN CITY, N. J. 
Mr. Henderson is known as the largest Commercial 
Florist in the country. In the present work he gives a 
fall account of his modes of propagation and cultivation. 
It is adapted to the wants of the amateur, as well as the 
professional grower. 
NOTICES BY- FLORISTS AND OTHERS. 
Certainly the most practical and desirable work that 
has ever been published on this subject. We are selling 
them rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes 
the “secrets” of the Trade too freely, and that it will 
make Gardeners and Propagators so plenty that our oc¬ 
cupation, like Othello’s, will be gone. II. A. Dreer, 
Seedsman and Florist, Philadelphia, Pa. 
Truly “ practical,” and ought to he in the hands of 
every one engaged in the culture of Flowers.- 
T. C. Maxwell & Bros., Geneva, N. Y. 
It might bo entitled “ Floriculture Made Easy.” Ido 
not.see why any one with ordinary common sense should 
not succeed, with this book in his hands. 
L. C. Ltsfljr, Florist, Nashville, Tcnn. 
No work ever before published in this country was 
practically valuable to those in want of direct informa¬ 
tion (upon this subject).' Wit. Saunders, 
Sup’t Dcp't of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. 
Just the work for the young Florist or Amateur, as it 
tells him clearly there is no such thing as failure, if its 
simple teachings are followed. 
Galvin & Geraguty, Florists, Newport, R. I. 
What is wonderful, the most of our Professional Flo¬ 
rists here frankly admit their indebtedness to the work 
for information and suggestions. I am only an amateur 
in flowers, but feel gratefully indebted to its author for 
the pleasure its perusal lias given. 
George W. Sanders, Baltimore, Md. 
Without exception the most practical work on Flori¬ 
culture in the English language. All the prosy fossils of 
- &c., I consign to the lumber room. I shall order 
a dozen from the publishers to give to my friends.

Complete in all its departments, a thoroughly common-

ers for a work on flowers; now we get something credit¬ 
able to recommend. Elliott Bros. & Burgess, Florists,

Apart from its great working value, the book is de¬ 
lightful reading. Miss Anna Warner,

Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel.

A worthy contribution to every votary of Flora; stylo 
comprehensive, sharp and decisive, just what was to be

EXTRACTS FROM NOTICES PY THE PRESS. 
He (the author) describes the action of draining upon 
the soil, the construction of single drains and systems of 
drains, the cost and the profit of thorough drainage, the 
making of tiles, and the reclaiming of salt marshes, 
treats sensibly of malarial diseases, and closes with a 
chapter which should be widely read, on house drainage 
and town sewerage in their relations to t he public health.

Nowhere does this book merit a wider circulation than 
in the West, Every year adds to the thousands of dollars 
lost to this State from want of proper surface drainage, 
to say nothing of the added gain to result from a com¬ 
plete system of under-drainage. This hook will prove 
an aid to any farmer who may consult it.

ELEMENTS OF AGRICULTURE. 
A BOOK FOE YOUNG FARMERS, 
By GEO. E. WARING, Jr., 
Formerly Agricultural Engineer of the Central Park, in 
New York. 
carefully revised. 
CONTENTS. 
The Plant ; The Soil ; Manures ; Mechanical Cul¬ 
tivation ; Analysis. 
The foregoing subjects are all discussed in plain,and 
simple language, that any farmer’s hoy may Understand. 
The book is written by a successful practical farmer, and 
is full of information, good advice, and sound doctrine. 
HORACE GREELEY says of it: “Though, dealing 
with facts unfamiliar to many, there is.no obscure.sen¬ 
tence, and scarcely a hard word in the book; its 254 fair, 
open pages may he read in the course of two evenings 
and thoroughly studied in the leisure hours of a week; 
and we pity the man or boy, however old or young, who 
can find it dull reading. Hardly any one is so wise that, 
he will not learn something of value from its perusal; no 
one is so ignorant or undeveloped that he cannot generally 
understand it; and no farmer or farmer’s son can study it* 
thoughtfully without being a better and more successful 
cultivator than before.”
