“ This is the most valuable of all the books which Mr. Dow¬ 
ning has contributed to the higher departments of our rural litera¬ 
ture, and it is the most charming' book of the season. Some idea 
may be formed of its completeness from the fact of its containing 
a list of no less than 490 sorts of apples. Mr. Downing claims 
the right to talk about fruits and trees from having been born in 
‘ one of the largest gardens, and upon the banks of one of the no¬ 
blest rivers in Americaeverybody will concede the right since 
he has shown himself so competent to the task.”— Broadway 
Journal. 
“ This is a valuable practical work, and every orchardist and 
every fruit-grower should possess himself of its stores of infor¬ 
mation.”— U. S. Gazette.

kind.—more especially considering that the art is yet in its infancy 
in America.”— Loudon" 1 s Gardeners Magazine.

subject of which it treats. Being intended for those who have

HOYEY’S PATENT SPIRAL STRAW-CUTTER. 
fPHESE machines are thought to excel all others for cutting hay, 
straw, or corn-stalks. The knives being supported by wings 
cast on the cylinder, are rendered sufficiently strong to cut the 
largest corn-stalks with great ease and dispatch, and as the knives 
are regulated by set-screws, it gives them a great advantage over 
all other cylinder cutters. There are other cylinder cutters the 
knives of which are fastened with rings at the end without wings 
to support them, and on such cutters the knives are wholly un- 
adjustable, except with keys or wedges, the use of which is 
thought to be an infringement on the rights of Mr. Hovey. The 
prices of these machines are, for No. 1. $10; No. 2. $12: No. 3, 
$15; No. 4, $20. For sale at the ALBANY AG. WAREHOUSE, 
22 Dean-st , and 10 Maiden Lane. 
IMPORTED THOROUGH BRED SHORT-HORN 
BULL, YOUNG FORESTER. 
W M. ATKINSON offers the above named bull for sale, and 
any gentleman wishing to improve his breed of stock, will 
find this a most seasonable opportunity of doing so, as Young For¬ 
ester possesses in an extraordinary degree the splendid qualities 
for which the Short Horns are so justly celebrated. 
He is four years old, his color is a rich roan, his symmetry is 
perfect, his pedigree unrivalled, and he was bred by *one of the 
most famous breeders in the north of England. It is also worthy 
of remark, that at the several shows in the province of Canada at 
which he has been exhibited, he has invariably taken the first pre¬ 
mium of his class. 
•Letters (pre-paid,) addressed to WM. ATKINSON. Guelph, 
Canada West, will meet with immediate attention.
