NOW IN THE PRESS, 
TO EE PUBLISHED BEFORE THE CLOSE OF THE MONTH, 
THE AMERICAN FRUIT CUI/TURIST, 
BY J. J. THOMAS. 
A Greatly enlarged and improved edition of the Fruit Culturist, 
containing more than triple the matter of the former editions, 
having been wholly re-written, so as to embrace essentially 
ALL THE VALUABLE INFORMATION 
Known at the present time, relative to 
FRUITS AND FRUIT CULTURE. 
It will contain more than 
TWO HUNDRED ACCURATE ENGRAVINGS, 
And will include condensed and full descriptions of all fruits of 
merit or celebrity cultivated or known in the country. 
To prevent confusion in a numerous list of varieties, careful at¬ 
tention has for years been given to effect the clear and systematic 
arrangement adopted in this work ; and further to enable the rea¬ 
der to know at a glance, the various grades of excellence, the 
quality is designated by the size of the type used for the name. 
The numerous figures of fruits are 
EXACT IMPRESSIONS 
Of average specimens. The descriptions ha.ve been prepared in 
nearly every case, from the fruits themselves ; and to distinguish 
fixed from accidental characters, careful comparison has been ex¬ 
tensively made with specimens from several different states, and 
with the descriptions in the best American works on Fruits. 
To determine the qualities as adapted to different regions, assis¬ 
tance has been largely furnished by a number of the most eminent 
pomologists of the Union. 
The whole will form a handsome duodecimo volume, at the low 
price of One Dollar. March 1, 1849. 
Portable Self-Acting Cheese Press. 
Patented August, 1847, by Chester Stone. 
'THE most durable, simple, convenient, and economical press 
known. The weight of the cheese governs the pressure, or it 
may be graduated as desired. The principle is admirably adapted 
to packing flour into barrels and other uses. It acts on a double 
lever purchase, the article pressed being the power ; or in other 
words £! The cheese presses itself.” Its weight is 70 to 100 lbs., 
occupies but little room, moved on castors or small wheels, and is 
sold at only $7 to $10, according to size. Already in extensive 
use in the western part of the State, and only need to be seen to 
lie approved. For presses or exclusive rights to manufacture and 
sell them in any parts of the counties of Saratoga, Washington, 
Rensselaer or Columbia, apply to H. VAN OSTRAND,
