THE BECKWITH 
SEWING-MACHINE IMPROVED. 
PRICE. SI 2. 
With Mew Braiding-Foot and other 
Voidable Improvements. 
Beckwith Sewing-Machine, 
which was fully described in the American Agriculturist 
for March and April. 1872. We have already given and 
sold more than one thousand of these machines, and tes¬ 
timonials of satisfaction have come from every quarter. 
Wa now offer the Reckwitli Sewing-HIa- 
rhine, Improved, price $ 12 . A new and very 
simple braiding-foot lias been made, by which a child can 
sew on braid without the least trouble, following- any de¬ 
sired pattern with ease ; also a new arm, spiral spring 
and lever, for raising the presser-foot, all of which arc 
now set in a position that leaves the needle free to be 
threaded. The joint is much enlarged, and the machine 
is otherwise greatly strengthened and improved. The 
use of the biaider-foot alone will be valued more than 
the cost of the machine. This, with the other improve¬ 
ments, is considered so important, that the Beckwith 
Sewing-Machine Company will make no more of the $10 
style. The improved machine is japanned and tastefully 
ornamented with gold; cloth-plate and trimmings are 
plated.

Improved Machine, as that comprises all the excellencies 
ol the former, with the additions already noted.

We have contracted with the Beckwith Sewing-Machine 
Company for a large number of them to supply our own 
friends, and as Premiums. Each machine is put 
in a neat, compact box, with hem/ner and guide , oil-can 
with oil , thread, different-sized needles, etc., with full 
Printed Directions for using, and delivered to any express 
office in this city, without extra charge above the $12. 
As we buy the machines at wholesale price, we have de¬ 
cided to give our readers some advantage of this, and we 
therefore propose to make a present for himself or 
herself, or for any friend, of one copy of Hearth and 
Home for six months, or one copy of the American 
Agriculturist for one year, to those persons who 
send us $12 for one of the machines while this offer 
is continued. 
The New Sewing machine as a 
PREMIUM without money. 
To enable those to get this machine who can not raise 
even the $12 to buy it, we make the following offer : 
We will send the machine free to any 
one who will collect and forward EIGHT 
subscribers for HEARTH AND HOME 
one year at $3 each; or SIXTEEN sub¬ 
scribers to AMERICAN AGRICULTUR¬ 
IST for one year, at $1,50 each. 
83?” Almost any lady can readily secure this small 
number of subscribers and get a machine free ; or 
some friend can thus obtain it for her, as a present.

BARRY’S 
FRUIT GAKDEU. 
By P. BARRY. 
NOTICES BY THE PRESS. 
“Barry’s Fruit Garden” is one of those practical, pro¬ 
fusely illustrated, and comprehensive manuals which Orange 
Jndd & Co. delight to publish. It seems to tell almost 
everything which one book can tell about the ins and outs 
and ways and means of fruit culture. — The Advance 
(Chicago). 
This volume of 490 pages, as its (itle implies, is devoted to 
the culture of fruits ot every variety in orchards and gar¬ 
dens. It describes the diseases incident to the various fruit 
trees, the kinds of insects that prey upon them, and the 
lemedies lor ridding trees of the evil .—Scientific American. 
Barry’s Fruit Garden strikes us as about as complete a 
manual of the kind as could be desired. Nearly everything, 
in fine, needed seems to he provided in this compact volume, 
and its abundant illustrations render everything intelligible 
to even the uninitiated .—The Methodist (N. Y.). 
Tlie author writes from his own practical experience ; and 
that experience is ot no ordinary character, being the result 
ot more than thirty years’ work at the head of the largest, 
nursery in America, where every operation is conducted 
with eminent skill .—Tlie Country Gentleman. 
It. explains all the minutise of fruit,-gardening, even to the 
implements, copiously illustrated by engravings, so that the 
merest novice need not err; gives descriptions of all the 
different kinds ot fruit that can be raised in our climate in 
every stage of tlieir lives, from the germ to the fruit-bearing 
period, with instructions in pruning and grafting, in a most 
satisfactory manner. Tlie chapter on grapes alolie is worth 
more than tlie price of tlie book .—Jersey City Times. 
It is a rich mine of information upon 'fruits of all kinds 
and tlieir proper culture .—-PSvidence Press. 
Mr. Barry lias long been known as an authority upon fruit 
culture, and this volume of 400 pages, with a full and care¬ 
fully prepared index, gives the latest results of his study 
and experience .—Springfield Republican. 
1 his beautiful volume, of nearly five hundred pages, will 
be cordially welcomed by every lover of nature. It is the 
most perfect work we have seen on the whole subject, and 
well deserves a wide circulation.— United Presbyterian 
(Pittsburgh).
