The numerous figures of fruits are 
EXACT IMPRESSIONS 
Of average specimens. The descriptions have been prepared in

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.

PATENT FAN MILLS AND CRADLES. 
YTTE continue to manufacture these celebrated Mills and .Cradles. 
*» They have been awarded six first premiums at the New 
York State Fairs, and at the great American Institute in New 
York, and several County Fairs, always taking the first premium 
over all other mills. The manufacturers feel confident, therefore, 
in offering these mills to the public, that they are the best in use. 
During the year 1347 they were introduced into England, by Mr 
Slocum, of Syracuse. They were very favorably noticed by the 
English papers ; and from a communication of Mr. S.’s, published 
in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Ag. Society, for 1847, it 
will be seen that they were tried by several large farmers, and 
highly approved. One farmer, it is stated, set aside an almost new 
wiunowing machine, for which he paid .£18, ($90) and used 
Grant’s for cleaning a crop of 300 qrs. (2,700 bushels) of wheat, 
and several hundred bushels of mustard seed. We have lately 
made some valuable improvements in the article, though the price 
remains the same as before. 
Our fans are extensively used and highly approved at the south, 
for cleaning rice. We are permilted to make the following ex¬ 
tracts from letters received from Hon. J. R. Poinsett, of South Ca¬ 
rolina :—“ The fan you sent last summer, [1S48] has been success¬ 
fully used to clean dirty rice, and winnow that from the threshing 
floor. It answers ev<.rj r purpose.” In relation to another of our 
fans, he writes, (April 23, ’49 .)—“ Both this and the first mill you 
sent, work very well; and the last, which is the largest that caa 
be well worked by a man, cleans the dirty rice perfectly, and is 
altogether the best wind-fan I ever used for that purpose.” 
Our Cradles have taken the first premiums at two New York 
State Fairs, and are considered the best in use. 
The great encouragement we have received from dealers and 
agriculturists, has induced us to greatly enlarge our business, and 
we hope by strict attention, to merit a further patronage. 
Orders will be thankfully received, and receive prompt attea 
tion.
