A Book for Everybody. 
COLE’S AMERICAN FRUIT BOOK. 
S W. COLE, Esq., Author of the popular work, entitled The 
* American Veterinarian, of which 22,000 copies have already 
been published, has, after years of patient labor and close investi¬ 
gation. completed his great work, entitled 
COLE'S AMERICAN FRUIT BOOK: 
A work which we believe is destined to have a more widely ex¬ 
tended circulation than any similar work, ever before offered to 
the American public. We believe so for the following reasons. 
First —It is a mature work and a practical one, one upon which 
Mr. Cole has spent many years of study and close examination, and 
knowing the wants of the community has met those wants, in a 
plain, concise and familiar manner, avoiding technicalities, and 
scientific specifications and definitions, useful only to the few, 
he has made a work intelligible to all. It will be emphatically, a 
book for THE PEOPLE. 
Secondly —It will have an unprecedented sale on account of its 
cheapness. It makes a volume of 288 closely printed pages. 
Illustrated with nearly 200 beautifully executed engravings, 
by Brown, and is sold for 50 cents, firmly bound in leather, 
and 62£ cents in Fancy Cloth, with gilt backs. It contains full 
directions for Raising, Propagating and Managing Fruit Trees, 
Shrubs and Plants, with a description of the best varieties of 
FRUIT, embracing several new and valuable kinds ; embellished 
with Engravings, and Outlines of FRUIT TREES, and various 
other designs. Emphatically, a 
BOOK FOR EVERYBODY, 
As well for the man who eats Fruit as for him who raises it. 
This valuable work is just from the press, and is now for sale 
at our counter, and will be offered for sale by our regular agents 
throughout the country.

Portable Self-Acting Cbeese 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 
so’rl 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 
be approved. For presses or exclusive rights to manufacture and

COMMERCIAL GARDEN AND NURSERY 
Of Parsons & Co., Flushing, near N. Y. 
'HE Proprietors of this Establishment, invite public attention 
to their large assortment of every desirable variety of 
FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREE OR SHRUB. 
Their importations of everything new in Europe are annually 
continued, and they offer a very large variety of 
ORNAMENTAL TREES AND SHRUBS, 
imported expressly for arboretums and pleasure grounds. Their 
collection of Roses is annually enriched by novelties from abroad, 
many of which may be found described in their new work on the 
Rose, recently published. 
FRUIT TREES 
Receive their particular attention, and are propagated under their 
personal supervision; this care, with their possession of extensive 
specimen grounds, in which is tested every variety of fruit they 
cultivate, enables them confidently lo guarantee the genuineness 
of the varieties. 
Their care in pruning and cultivation enables them also to send 
out thrifty and well formed trees. From their large scale of prop¬ 
agation, they can offer to dealers very liberal discounts, where 
hundreds or thousands are taken. Orders or inquiries can be ad¬ 
dressed to the proprietors, at Flushing, near New-York, where 
Catalogues will also be furnished. 
They have formed a branch at Brighton, near Boston, and by 
the entire success of their trees transplanted thither, have thor¬ 
oughly proved the superior adaptation of Long Island trees to the 
soil and climate of any part of New England. 
At the season of transplanting, a salesman will be at this branch 
to furnish those who may prefer obtaining their supply thence.
