AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS AND SEEDS. 
RUGGLES, NOURSE & MASON, 
Investors and Manufacturers of t!ic Genuine 
Eagle Flow, 
WOULD inform the public, that their hither-to unequalled stock 
of Agricultural and Horticultural Tools, Machines and Seeds, at 
Quincy-Hall Agricultural Warehouse and Seed Store (over the 
Quincy Market), South Market street, Boston, Mass., is very 
much enlarged and improved in quantity and variety. 
Within the past year they have done much to improve their 
Plow Department by constructing noire patterns of Eagle, Eagle 
Self-Sharpening, Hill-Side, and Sub-Soil Flows, embracing addi¬ 
tional sizes of improved forms and fixtures. 
At the most full, perfect trial and investigation of plows ever 
had in this country, held in Essex Co., Mass., the Judging Com¬ 
mittee, in speaking of the Improved Eagle Plow, to which they* 
unanimously awarded the highest premium, say :— 11 As near as 
we can ascertain, this Plow combines all the good qualities mani¬ 
fested in all the others, with some peculiar to itself; and 
further, our attention was called to the quality of the castings 
on the Plows of Ruggles & Co., their finish and durability. 
Their appearance is certainly more perfect than anything we 
have elsewhere seen. The process of Chilling the Point, the 
entire edge of the share and flange or base of the landslde, 
gives a permanence and durability to the work that renders it of a 
decidedly superior character, and we think there is no hazard 
in saying that the value of the parts thus made is more than 
doubled by the process.” 
The following is a copy of their table showing the comparative 
amount of power in pounds, required to operate the different 
plows

They have also constructed a series of new patterns of Plows 
of various sizes and forms (some with wrought mould plates, 
shares, or points) expressly calculated for the different kinds 
and methods of cultivation practiced in Use Southern State-s and 
which embrace all the alterations which a long and thorough 
investigation, and more extended acquaintance with southern 
culture has suggested, to render peculiarly adapted to the plant¬ 
ers. 
As all of the most important articles in their assortment are 
manufactured by themselves, and especially for their own trade 
at their extensive manufactory at Worcester, under their own 
personal supervision, and being importers direct, of all necessary 
foreign articles in the line, they are enabled to offer an unusual 
variety of implements of admitted superiority, and on the most 
advantageous terms. 
Their stock of seeds is raised specially fer their tra.de by re¬ 
liable, and experienced American and European growers, and are 
warranted fresh and true to their names. 
Their prices being uniform , purchasers can rely on having all 
orders executed oh as favorable terms, and promptly, as though 
they were personally present. 
Dealers supplied on the most advantageous and inducing 
terms. 
A. B. Allen & Co., N. York City; H.L. Emery, AlbanyN, Y. ; 
and R. L. Allen, N. Orleans, agents. Other houses and dealers 
at most of the principal cities and towns through the country

cles embraced in so great a variety, the proprietors propose to 
forward (gratis) to persons requesting ihem, by mail, or otherwise, 
descriptive catalogues of implements and seeds, 'of nearly 100 
pages, embellished with cuts of tools, and containing brief direc¬
