TESTIMONIALS. 
Srr.rxo Mills, N. J., April 4th, 1SG1. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gents.— 1 leave been using one of your No. 2 Patent Flax 
Machines or Brakes for the'last six months, and am much 
pleased with the manner in which it breaks the flax. We 
can break easily ope and a quarter tons of flax straw per 
dav, and do it much better than a new flax brake I 6aw the 
other day which cost eight hundred dollars, and had sixteen 
pairs of rollers. 
Yours respectfully, 
Augustus Godlkt. 
South Hill, Pa., April 5th, 1S64. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford: 
Gentlemen—1 have been using one of your Patent Flax 
Brakes for the past live months, and am well pleased with Us 
work. All who have seen it work pronounce it just the 
thing. 1 have tested it with the old-fashioned brake in gen¬ 
eral use and yours has the advantage of over ten per cent. 
YotirS respectfully, E. T. Allis. 
Spat.ta, Canada East, 5th April, 1864. 
Messrs. Mallory and Sanford: 
Gentlemen.— It is with great pleasure that we com ply with 
your request, in giving our opinion of your patent Flax Brake. 
\Ve ha ve had it in constant use since last fall and llnd it does 
its work admirably. For ingenuity of constructiqn, sim¬ 
plicity of working capacity', and safety to the operator we 
have not yet secii its equal. Kequiring lint little power to 
drive it and no other attention hut an ordinary hand can 
give it, we are quite satisfied that it is all yon represent it to 
be. We are, gentlemen; yours respectfully, 
SCANDKETT & BOGGS. 
Danville, I.ivingstor. Co., N. Y. 
Mallory and Sanford: 
Gentlemen —You ask my opinion in regard to your Flax 
Machine. I must say I am well pleased with it. The Ma¬ 
chine has been in almost constant use since I received it from 
you about three months since, and I think it works better 
now than when I first started it. 1 can break from one to 
one and a half tons per day of ten hours with your No. l 
Brake. I think I will get another of your Brakes this sum¬ 
mer. Yours, with respect, E. Traxlkk. 
Bkeakabeen, N. Y„ April 25,1SC1. 
Mcsors. Mallory and Sanford : 
Gentlemen.—I have been using one of your Flax Brakes 
the past winter, and have been so well pleased with its work 
that I have purchased another Machine and thrown our old 
brake out entirely. One of the principal advantages over 
the old brake is that it breaks the flax even all through Ihe 
handful, so that the inside of the handful will scutch as easy, 
as the outside, and leaves the outside lihre of the handful 
whole, whereas with our old crake the inside of the handful 
would he so imperfectly broken that the outside will he all 
cut down to a point before the centre is clean; we can break 
more with your Brake than with our old one, and can scutch 
:■ more flax taken from your Brake than the old one, and there 
is no danger from operating your Machine, I consider your 
' Machine ii great success. I do not know how you could well 
..improve the principle upon which it moves. 
Yours, truly, G. L. IIughson.

DELAWARE VINES

LOW PRICES. 
PLANTERS, who are forming Vineyards, 
and 
NURSERYMEN, who wish plants for stock, 
will And it their interest to examine the one year old plants of 
PARSONS & CO., 
Of which they offer 
2 0 0,000 
At the following low prices: 
No. 1. $25 Ob per 100.—$200 00 per 1000. 
No. 2. $15 00 per 100.—$125 00 per 1000. 
$1000 00 per 10,000. 
No. 3. $12 00 per 100.—$100 00 per 1000. 
$750 00 per 10,000. 
These plants are produced from enttings of bearing vines. 
The accompanying sketch of one of thorn will show tha 
they are not the mere straws so often employed, but mostly 
oflargo size. They are so grown as to ensure an abundance 
of fibrous roots and thoroughly ripened wood. 
The testimony of those who have purchased them for the 
last two years is of the most favorable character. 
In consequence of the low price; their stock of Delawares 
has for two years been bonglit up early in the autumn by a 
fow persons. The proprietors wish them more widely scat¬ 
tered, and hope therefore, that those who desire to purchase, 
will send their orders early. 
In consequence of the great difficulty in growing the Del¬ 
aware the first year, nurserymen will find it their interest to 
purchase largely to plant for stock. 
The Proprietors can also furnish 
other HARDY GRAPES, including Concord, Di¬ 
ana, Crcveling, Iona, Allen’s Hybrid, Adi- 
rondac, and other new sorts.

ticle which has receiv¬ 
ed the approval ol 
many of the leading
