THE COLWELLS, SHAW & WILLARD 
MANUFACTURING COMP’Y, 
having had an experience of over' four 
years in the manufacture of Tin-Liked 
Lead Pipe, ami having had ponderous 
machinery constructed, the largest in 
tile world, for this hind of pipe, have 
reached that perfection in its construc¬ 
tion which leaves nothing to desire. Our 
patent tin-lined lead pipe is as flexible 
and easily worked as ordinary lead pipe, 
and costs bnt little more per foot. Water flows through it as 
pure as at the fountain head, and free from the slightest 
taint of lead poison or iron rust. In addition to the plumb¬ 
ing of houses, it is largely used for conveying water from 
springs and w»lls: also, for beer-pumps, mineral waters and 
distilleries—in fact, wherever purity and safety to health are 
desirable. Circulars and samples of pipe sent by mail free.

The Eumelan Grape 
Justly claims the .first place among American Grapes, for 
either the lab e or wine. The past four years it has been 
very generally introduced throughout the United States, 
and fully confirms it3 past 30 years’ history, as being the 
most hardy vigorous grower, prolife and earliest of all, 
while in quality it is unequaled by any black grape known, 
for either the table or for wine, ripening fully and thorough¬ 
ly to the center. We advise every one who wishes to grow 
grape-vines for the Garden or Vineyard, to send for our Cir¬ 
cular containing its past history, and the advantages to 
plant the Eumelan in preference to any other kind. 
Agents wanted in every town. Send stamp for Circular

ALLEY’S POTATO DIGC1WG 
PLOW- 
(Fig. 79, Page 57 of our Large Catalogue.) 
(Send for a Special Illustrated Circular.) 
HIS DIGGER can be Obtained at all Ag¬ 
ricultural Ware bouses throughout the 
United States and British Provinces. 
This testimonial is from one who on first trial condemned 
the implement, hut a little experience showed him its value: 
“ Seville Station, Medina County, Ohio, 
November 4, 1869. 
I am more and more pleased with your Potato Digger. 
Yesterday, with four little boys following me, I measured 
up one hundred and twenty bushels of Peach Blows, (un¬ 
derstand that they are the worst kind to dig;) to-day, with 
the same boys’ help, I loaded one hundred and sixty bushels 
for the station, and picked after the Digger one hundred 
bushels, and the same team hauled two ot them ; had also 
two little girls in addition to the help. I would not take a 
hundred dollars for it if I could not get another similar one. 
N. F. BOSTWICK." 
“ P. S.—One great item in regard to this machine is, the 
potatoes come out of the ground without scratches.” 
As we anticipate a very large demand for our Diggers dur¬ 
ing the coming season, we urge our friends to send us their 
orders at once. The loss of interest on the remittance will 
be trifling, and the certainty of securing tha plow in season 
for the crop will be a great advantage. 
Send $15 for the Iron Plow, or $25 for the Steel Plow, by 
bank draft on New York City, Philadelphia, Baltimore or 
Boston; by Post-Oflice Order, or by bills per express or 
mail, and the plow shall be. sent at onee. 
Bank drafts are the best form of remittance, but the othci'3 
are all safe.

HOW CROPS GROW. 
A Treatise on the Chemical Composition, structure, and 
Life of the Plant. AA’itli numerous illustrations and tables 
of analyses. By Prof. Samuel W . Johnion, of 
Yale College. Price $2.00, 
This book is a guide to the knowledge of agricultural 
plants, their composition, their structure, andmod'is of de¬ 
velopment and growth; of the complex organization of 
plants! and the uses of the parts ; the germination of seeds, 
and the food of plants obtained both from the air and the 
soil. Very full and accurate tables of analyses arc given, 
and tables of the proportions existing between different 
principles, oily, starchy, or nitrogenous, in the same and 
different plants. The hook is an invaluable one to all real 
students of agriculture. 
AGRICULTURAL QUALITATIVE AND QUANTITA¬ 
TIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS. 
After E. AVolff, Fresenius, Krocker, and others. Edited by 
Prof. G.C. Caldwell, of Cornell University. Price $2X0. 
In this work Professor Caldwell has brought together the 
processes of analysis which apply especially to soils, fertil¬ 
izers, animals and plants, and their products. He lias tested 
the methods or the best foreign authorities, and presented 
them ill a compact liand-book. Such a work lias long been 
needed by all who teach agricultural chemistry, and by 
analytical chemists generally. Professor Caldwell modestly 
calls himself the editor, but ids hook shows that he lias not 
contented himself with editing the works of others, hut lias 
given much of his own experience. 
PARSONS ON THE ROSE. 
A Treatise on the Propagation, Culture, and History of 
the Rose. Revised and newly clectrotyped. Illustrated. 
By Samuel B. Parsons. Price $1.50. 
The Rose is the only flower that can he said to liave-a his¬ 
tory. It is popular now and was so centuries ago. In ills 
work upon the Rose, Mr. Parsons lias gathered up the curi¬ 
ous legends concerning the flower, and gives us an idea of 
the esteem in which it was held in former times. A simplo 
garden classification lias been adopted, and the leading vari¬ 
eties under cacli class enumerated and briefly described. 
The chapters on multiplication, cultivation, and training, 
are very full, and the work is altogether the most complete 
of any before the public. 
PRACTICAL FLORICULTURE. 
A guide to the successful propagation and cultivation of 
Florists’ Plants. By Peter Henderson, author of “ Gar¬ 
dening for Profit." Beautifully illustrated. Price $1.50. 
Certainly the most practical and desirable work that lias 
ever been published on this subject. AA’e arc selling them 
rapidly. Some no doubt will say that it exposes the “se¬ 
crets” of the Trade too freely, and that it will make Garden¬ 
ers and Propagators so plenty that our occupation, like 
Othello’s, will be gone.—II. A. Deeer, Seedsman, Pliila., Pa. 
Full to overflowing with valuable information. 
Francis Richardson, Toronto, Canada. 
Thoroughly practical, yet readable as a novel.—N. Y'. Sun. 
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.
