City, the control of his crop of Seed of this valuable plant, some 
of the properties of which maybe briefly summed up as follows: 
First. An acre of the Stalks properly cultivated, will yield 
from 400 to 500 gallons of pure Syrup, equal to the best’New 
Orleans. 
Second. It surpasses all other plants for fodder and for feeding 
green to cattle or hogs, on account of the great abundance of 
sugary juice which it contains; and sown in close drills, will 
yield from thirty to fifty thousand pounds of superior Green 
Fodder to the acre. 
Third. It is so certain and prolific a crop that Planters may 
be sure of succeeding with it as a syrup plant anywhere south 
of the State of New-York. 
This seed, which has been carefully kept pure, is now offered 
in cloth packages, each contain i ng enough to plant half an acre,

crushing, will be furnished by mail i o all applicants.
