Proprietors of the Syracuse Nurseries, 
TTAVE now ready for sale a very extensive stock of the most va- 
luable kinds of Fruit Trees, embracing most of the stand¬ 
ard varieties, (including those most highly approved and recom¬ 
mended by the late Pomological conventions at New-York and 
Buffalo,) which, in vigor, thriftiness and symmetry of growth arc 
not excelled by the productions of any other nursery in the State. 
Having more than forty acres now chiefly devoted to the cultiva¬ 
tion of Fruit Trees, they are prepared to sell at Wholesale 
os largely, at prices as low, and on terms as reasonable, as any other 
nursery establishment here or elsewhere. The superior quality 
of their trees must contine to recommend them to amateurs, who 
desire to unite ornament with utility ; and to orchardists, whose 
chief aim is to obtain such only as are healthy and vigorous. 
They have also, a large assortment of finely formed Ornamen¬ 
tal Trees, and several thousand Seedling Horse Chestnuts, at 
very moderate prices. 
Orders will be promptly attended to, and trees packed safely 
for transportation to any distance. 
Q^=* Catalogues furnished gratis, to all post-paid applications.

To Farmers* 
HTHE LODI MANUFACTURING CO., have now on hand and 
•*- ready for sale, a large quantity of their NEW AND IMPRO¬ 
VED POUDRETTE freshly manufactured. 
They guarantee that every barrel or bushel they sell contains 66 
per cent of night soil, and point to a reputation of ten years stand¬ 
ing, as well as to the heavy outlay of capital in their business, as 
in some sort a surety against imposition. 
Considering night soil as the strongest ingredient in their Pou- 
drette, their mode of manufacturing is simply to disinfect and add 
sufficient vegetable fibre to absorb moisture. 
Two barrels (S3 worth) will manure an acre of corn in the hill, 
planting four feet apart each way. One application is sufficient 
on good ordinary ground. On poor ground a second application is 
sometimes necessary to ensure a good crop. This manure has 
advantages in its use over guano or other manures, being the 
cheapest and quickest in operation. Corn manured with it will 
grow more vigorously, and mature earlier—while the yield is hea¬ 
vier in proportion. 
Four bushels struck measure, are packed in a barrel. It will 
be sold at the following prices, delivered in New- York free of cart¬ 
age or other expense: 1 bbl. $2—3bbls $5, 7 bbls. $10.50, and at 
the rate of $1.50 per bbl. for any larger quantity. At the Factory, 
25 cents per bushel will be charged. A trial is respectfully asked. 
All orders containing a remittance, with directions to ship, will 
be immediately attended to.

Chemical Manure 
Manufactured by “ the George Bomvier New-York Manure Co.” 
T j 'HIS manure is made chiefly of Fecal Matter from the sinks, 
J- in which is mixed a small portion of substances that are of 
themselves, powerful agents of vegetation, and possess the virtue to 
fix and retain the ammoniaoal gas of the matter. 
The great desideratum of the agriculturist has always been, to 
find out some process by which excrements might be solidified 
quickly, and all their fertilizing properties so strongly retained, 
that the manure may dissolve slowjy and in proportion to the re¬ 
quirements of the plants, and therefore produce its effects for a 
time equal to that of farm manure. 
This process was at length discovered by the French Chemists, 
and is now carried out with complete success in more than sixty 
of the large cities of France, where such manure factories are in 
full operation. 
The “ G. B. N. Y. M. C.” has established a Factory on an ex¬ 
tensive scale near the city of New York, in which they manufac¬ 
ture this kind of manure, and as the fecal matter can be obtained 
in this country at less expense than in France, the manure will 
not only be made stronger, but will be sold at a price less than in 
the French cities, this price being so established as to afford only 
the reasonable remuneration to which we are honestly entitled, 
the more so, as its manufacture is not of the most agreeable kind, 
and withal, troublesome and laborious. 
The manufacturing department is under the special charge of 
George Bommer, Esq., who has a perfect scientific and practical 
knowledge of manure matters generally; and the company has 
established a standard for the strength of its manure, from which 
it is intended not to deviate, so that its customers may at all times 
be furnished with an article really worth what they pay for it. 
Our manure is an inodorous grain, and as the substances from 
which it is made contain of themselves all the elements necessary 
to the fertilization of the soil and growth of plants, it is extremely 
well adapted to such purposes. 
To manure an acre highly, it requires 12 to 15 barrels, or 36 to 
45 bushels spread broadcast. Applied in hills, half of the quantity 
will suffice. Its application is simple and easy, and printed in¬ 
structions for its use will accompany each parcel sent to order. 
We desire it to be remembered, that our manure has no similar¬ 
ity to another known under the name of “ poudrette,” although 
the principal component of ours (the fecal matter) is the same as 
that which is used in the poudrette, in a much less proportion; our 
auxiliary substances, as well as our manufacturing processes are 
altogether of a different nature and kind. 
It belongs not to us to eulogise further, the quality of our ma¬ 
nure ; what we desire at present is, to call upon the members of 
the agricultural community, to try it! and we have reason to assure 
them, that they will find it the most profitable manure they have ever 
used. 
PRICES, TAKEN AT THE FACTORY: 
37£ cents per bushel, without package ; 
50 cents per bushel, packed in Barrels, or 
$1.50 per Barrel, package included.
