NOISELESS, 
BROAD TREAD, 
DURABLE, 
Perfectly Balanced 
and 
Easily Handled, 
The remarkable feature of this Mower is the MEW MECHANICAL MOVEMENT 
for actuating the knife. It possesses all the strength and durability of the best systems of gearing hereto¬ 
fore in use for tnis purpose, and does away with the noise, and nearly all the friction common thereto: 
the direct results being extreme lightness of draft, and greatly increased cutting power. Other 
advantages are—ample width and clearance between the wheels, leaving the grass in most favorable con¬ 
dition for curing; simplified construction; that the cutting bar lifts at either end, or to a perpendicular, 
and is hooked up with one movement of the levers, and that all parts are made inter-changeable. 
After four years use, Farmers write us that, ‘‘It cannot be choked, stopped or broken in any mow¬ 
ing where horses can travel.” They “have mowed swamps and overflowed lands, where no other machine 
will work at all.” “ Repairs for the four years have cost less than One Dollar.” “One horse will work 
a two-horse ‘ Haymaker’ all day with ease,” and that “it is a marvel of beauty and perfection !” 
Applications for agencies, should cover references as to character and responsibility. A special 
circular to such applicants and others relative to the introduction of one mower into each county, upon 
specially favorable terms, will be mailed upon request.

THE WINDOW GARDENER. 
By EDWARD S. RAND, Jr. 
This little volume is not wholly a new book, but is mostly 
composed of a revision of chapters which originally appear¬ 
ed in “ Flowers for the Parlor and Garden.” It was to meet 
the demand for a cheap manual of culture that it was origi¬ 
nally issued. Its price places it within the reach of all.

Finely Illustrated. Price, Post-paid, $1.50. 
Tbe following voluntary notices of Mr. Henderson’s books 
are specimens of similar testimony from very many quarters. 
“ February 8 th, 1875. 
“Enclosed find draft for $3.00, the published price of re¬ 
vised editions of ‘Gardening for Profit’ and ‘Practical 
Floriculture.* I have first editions, and they have saved tbe 
cost of each more than one hundred times. Many thanks for 
what you are doing for tbe gardeners of the United Slates.” 
“ December 9 th, 1874. 
“ Your Gardening for Profit is what the Family Bible is to 
a good old Methodist—the only sure guide.” 
‘‘J larch 23 d, 1874. 
“If this should go to Mr. Henderson, I would say that I 
believe the gardeners of this country would gladly hail an¬ 
other edition of ‘Gardening for Profit;’ at least, I thank 
him for that little work. Through its influence I left a pay¬ 
ing manufacturing business and began to follow its teach¬ 
ings. This was three years ago. Now I have a market 
garden of thirty acres and 400 four-feet sash, and enjoy my¬ 
self as I never did before. Again I-tliank him.”

Play and Profit 
IN MY GARDEN. 
By E. P. ROE, 
Author of “ Barriers Burned Away,” etc. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
The author takes us to his garden on the rocky hill-sides in 
the vicinity of West Point and shows ns how out of it, after 
four years' experience, lie evoked a profit of $1,000, and this 
while carrying on pastoral and literary labors.It 
is very rare that so much literary taste and skill are mated 
to so much agricultural experience and practical good sense. 
—Harper's Magazine. 
This book is as poetical as it is practical. Still lie is no 
dreamer. He goes into every essential detail with as much 
minuteness and precision as if he were writing a manual for 
the practical farmer. Indeed few works professedly de¬ 
voted to agriculture give more sound and valuable informa¬ 
tion on the secret of winning golden harvests from tiie soil 
than this brief idyllic sketch.— N. Y. Tribune.

By P. BARRY. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
“ Barry’s Fruit Garden ” is one of those practical, pro- jl 
fusely illustrated, and comprehensive manuals whicli Orange I 
Judd & Co. delight to publish. It seems to tell almost I 
everything which one book can tell about the ins and outs I 
and ways and means of fruit culture. — The Advance I 
(Chicago). 
This volume of 490 pages, as its title implies, is devoted to I 
the culture of fruits of every variety in orchards and gar- 1 
dens. It describes the diseases incident to the various fruit I 
trees, the kinds of insects that prey upon them, and the I 
remedies for ridding trees of tiie evil .—Scientific American. I 
Barry’s Fruit Garden strikes us as about as complete a I 
manual of tiie kind as could be desired. Nearly everything, I 
in fine, needed seems to be provided ill tliiscompact volume, 
and its abundant illustrations render everything intelligible 
to even the uninitiated .—The Methodist (N. Y.). 
The author writes from his own practical experience; and 
that experience is of no ordinary character, being the result 1 
of more than thirty years’ work at the head of tiie largest 
nursery in America, where every operation is conducted \ 
with eminent skill .—The Country Gentleman. 
It explains all tiie minutiae of limit-gardening, even to the | 
implements, copiously illustrated by engravings, so that tiie | 
merest novice need not err; gives descriptions of all tiie I 
different kinds of fruit that can be raised in our climate in 
every stage of their lives, from tiie germ to tiie fruit-hearing 
period, witli instructions ill pruning and grafting, in a most 
satisfactory manner. Tiie chapter on grapes alone is worth 
more than the price of tiie book.—Jersey City Times. 
Mr. Barry lias long been known as an authority upon fruit 
culture, and this volume of 490 pages, with a full and care, 
fully prepared index, gives the latest results of his study 
and experience .—Springfield Republican.
