THE CULTIVATOR, 
NEW SERIES, VOL. II, FOR 1845. 
G RATEFUL for the liberal patronage his paper continues to receive 
in every section of the United States, the proprietor has determi¬ 
ned to add a new and attractive feature to the volume for 1845, by giv¬ 
ing two or more beautiful STEEL PLATES, engraved in the first 
style of the art. Various other improvements are also contemplated, 
which, with the constantly increasing list of correspondents, will, he 
trusts, render “THE CULTIVATOR” a most welcome visitor with 
every farmer and horticulturist. 
Each number of the Cultivator contains 32 large octavo pages, and 
is published at the low price oi $1,00 a year—Seven copies for $5— 
Fifteen copies for $10. 
“We do no more,” says Rev. Dr. Bond, editor of the Christian 
Advocate and Journal, “ than strict justice when we say we believe 
the Cultivator is considered the best’ work of its class in the United 
Stales, and we have seen nothing equal to it from Europe.”—“ The 
Cultivator is,” says the Auburn Journal, “ by all comparison the 
best agricultural paper in the Union.”—“ We speak advisedly,” says 
the Northern Advocate, “ when we give The Cultivator the pre-emi¬ 
nence in point of maturity of agricultural knowledge, in every thing 
which appertains to the farmer or the farming interest.”—“ We do not. 
believe,” says the Albany Atlas, “ that in the present range of periodi¬ 
cal literature in America, there is a work so valuable as The Culliva- 
tor.” 
HJr- Any person wishing to obtain the Cultivator, can do so by 
handing a dollar to his Postmaster, who is authorized to forward it, 
free of postage to the proprietor. 
113 = Postmasters, and the friends of agriculture generally, are in 
vited to act as Agents on the liberal terms above specified. Specimen 
numbers and prospectuses will be sent to all persons disposed to act 
as Agents, on application. 
All orders must be accompanied with the cash, and be addressed
