GREEN SAND MARL OF NEW-JERSEY. 
T he new jersey fertilizer 
COMPANY is now prepared to receive orders for this 
important Manure. For all lands upon which ashes are bene¬ 
ficial, the MARL is more than a substitute. Professor Cook, in 
his Annual Report to the Legislature of New-Jersey, says : 
“Thevalue of these MARLS is best seen in the rich and 
highly cultivated district which has been improved (almost 
made) by their use. But it may be interesting to examine the 
causes of their great value in agriculture, and to compare them 
with other fertilizers. For example : The potash alone may be 
taken, at an average, as five per cent, of the whole weight of 
the MARL ; a bushel, when dry, weighs eighty pounds ; and in 
the proportion mentioned, would contain four pounds of potash; 
This is nearly as much as there is in a bushel of unlcachcd wood 
ashes.” 
And again : “ It is probable that the great value of the MARL 
is to be found in the fact that it contains nearly all the sub¬ 
stances necessary to make up the ash of our common cultivated 
plants.” 
Price delivered on board vessel at the wharves of the Com¬ 
pany at Portland Heights, Raritan Bay, New-Jersey, seven 
cents per bushel. 
For further particulars, s~e Circular, sent free of postage. 
Orders for other fertilizers will receive prompt attention. Ad¬

THE CELEBRATED 
MILTON RASPBERRY PLANTS 
T his, the best of all raspber- 
R.IES ever cultivated, will produce more fruit per acre 
than any other variety of RASPBERRY, and will sell for 
double the amount of money. The yield per acre is as high as 
seven thousand pint baskets as an ordinary crop from a well 
cultivated acre, selling in New-York markets at one shilling 
per basket. Eight hundred and seventy-five dollars for the Ber¬ 
ries, and five hundred dollars worth of Plants are frequently 
sold from the same ground, besides leaving the hills well filled. 
In Milton, Ulster County, (where it is made quite an exten¬ 
sive business.) the farmer who cultivates an acre of these Ber¬ 
nes considers it equal to all the rest of his farm of a hundred 
acres. Twenty hills of these Plants will supply a family with 
fruit during a period of seven weeks, commencing about the 
25th of June. To insure success, these Plants should be set 
from the 10th of October to the 1st of November, or even as 
early as the 1st of October.

T HE LAWTON BLACKBERRY is the 
queen of all berries—of most magnificent proportions, ex¬ 
quisite flavor, and delicate texture.— Springfield, Mass., Repub¬ 
lican , Sept 4, 1855. 
Description of the Plant .—This is an original and entirely dis¬ 
tinct variety, and not, as some suppose, the “ New-Rochelle 
Blackberry,” improved by cultivation, (the plants which abound

every other part of tne country.) It differs in shape, size and 
quality from every other known variety. For descriptive circu¬ 
lars and general directions for garden culture, forming planta¬ 
tions and pruning, address, WM. LAWTON,

Messrs. Pitkin Brothers, Manchester, Conn. 
Dear Sirs :—We used one of your Potato Diggers in digging 
our last year’s crop, some twenty-five acres, and were much, 
pleased with its operations. We think the potatoes were 
gathered cleaner than would usually be done with a hook or 
hoe, and we are confident that it saved us at least a hundred 
dollars in gathering our crop. We do most cheerfully recom¬ 
mend it as a new labor-saving implement.

have requested me to send. Yours, &c.,
