FIELD SEED STORE. 
T HE subscriber continues to keep constantly on hand at his 
long established Seed Store, a supply of the best quality 
and kinds of Field Seeds, viz : 
Red Clover , of the large and small growth, 
Timothy , Red Top , or Herd’s Grass, Orchard Grass, 
Lucerne, or French Clover, White Clover, 
Trefoil , Kentucky Blue Grass, &c. &c. 
Also, the different varieties of Wheat, as White Flint, Red 
Chaff, Mediterranean, and English—for sale in lots to suit pur¬ 
chasers at moderate prices, by ISRAEL RUSSELL, 
Feb. 1, 1844. 26 Front-street, New-York. 
N. B. The following description of some superior English 
Wheat sown in the month of October last, the product of which 
will be for sale at the above Store, is given by a respectable 
English farmer in the State of New-Jersey, who sowed about 
eleven bushels, a sample of which can yet be seen. “ It is 
called the Uxbridge White Wheat, and is the most noted Wheat 
they have in England, it being of fine quality, always commands 
a high price, as the flour is used by the biscuit bakers in Lon¬ 
don; it is great for yielding, and puts out a much larger ear 
than any wheat I have seen in this country. I saw when in 
England, three years ago, on my brother’s farm in one field, 
120 acres, that yielded 40 bushels and upwards to the acre. It 
grows very strong, and is not liable to be laid by heavy rains. 
I will warrant it free from any soil whatever. I did not see in 
the eleven bushels, a particle but Wheat; and 1 have sown it 
on Clover seed, on purpose that there shall be nothing but 
Wheat; and I will put nothing in the barn with it, so as to put 
it beyond the possibility of a doubt of its having any thing in it 
or getting mixed with other Wheat, which through carelessness 
is often the case. I have grown a great deal of it myself in 
England, and know from experience that for yield and quality, 
there is no Wheat to compete with it. Its general weight is 
from 64 to 67 lbs. per bushel. It is smooth chaff, and easy to 
thrash, which is not always the case with smooth chaff Wheat.” 
TO FARMERS. 
T HE subscriber is prepared to furnish farmers with Stone and 
Shell Lime, either slaked or unslaked, at a rate which will 
make it an object for them to use it liberally in the improve¬ 
ment of their lands, for which purpose he has sold large quan¬ 
tities during the past year. He refers to John Townsend, C. N. 
Bement, and W. H. Sotham, Esqr’s.who have used his lime cx 
tensively. E. C. WARNER,

Stimson Farm, will be sold cheap and on terms most accommo¬

is properly divided into pasture, tilled and wood land, and is in 
the highest state of cultivation, fenced in the best manner and

mong other buildings, a large and convenient hotel, which is a

buildings of all kinds are most extensive and convenient for all 
the purposes of agriculture and the raising of stock. The pre¬
