THIS DAY PUBLISHED, THE FIFTH EDITION, REVISED. 
One volume Y2mo, Cloth, 63 c. 
T his volume should be in the hands of. 
every cultivator of these delicious fruits, for it embodies, 
in a compact and available form, the experience of accom¬ 
plished and practical Horticulturists on subjects which have 
come directly under their own observation for a long series 
of years. 
Of a former edition of “ Buchanan on the Grape.” we 
subjoin a few 
Notices of the Press. 
Mr. Downing in his Horticulturist says: l! It deals more with 
facts, with actual experience, and observation, and less with 
speculation,, supposition and belief, than anything on this top¬ 
ic that has yet appeared in the United States. In other words, 
a man may take it, and plant a vineyard, and raise grapes 
with success.” 
“ Furnishes, in a small Space, a very great amount of in¬ 
structive information relative to the culture of the Grape.”— 
Farmer's and. Planter's Encyclypazdia. 
u Will be found to convey the most opportune and valuable 
instruction, to all interested in the subject.— Neill's Fruit and 
Flower Garden.

T HIS is a new and very superior sort. They are as early 
as the June potato, grow above the average size, are 
mealy and palatable, and have kept better than any other va¬

among them. R. L. ALLEN,

McCormick’s Reaping & Mowing Machine. 
I AM now manufacturing 1.500 Reaping and Mowing Ma¬ 
chines for 1S54, and farmers who want machines are re¬ 
quested to send in their orders early. Last year I had not a 
supply, although I had 1,500 in the market. 
I offer my large experience (both in this country and in 
Europe) for the last fifteen years or more, in this business, as 
the safest guarantee the farmer can have in the purchase of 
a machine of this kind, notwithstanding the pretensions of 
others, whose limited experience in this business accounts 
for their large promises. 
Deeming "it useless to insert long advertisements in the 
newspapers, I shall be pleased to furnish applicants with my 
printed circular. 
Some important improvements have been made, while the 
machine will be found as simple and efficient as a machine 
of the kind can be. The important points that will present 
themselves in these machines will be. perfect simplicity, ease 
of repairing, durability, and adaptation to the wants of the 
farmer as a reaper and mower. I shall continue the use. of 
the wrought iron beam, which will be found very important 
in mowing, because of the friction upon the ground, and lia¬ 
bility to wear and tear a wooden beam or any sheet iron 
lining that may be used upon it. Another very important ad¬ 
vantage which I claim for my combined machine is, that it 
can be readily changed so .as to cut any desired height of 
stubble, as a reaper or mower, by simply removing three 
bolls. This principle will be found wanting in other ma¬ 
chines, though valuable Upon rough ground, or for mowing 
barley, or lodged oats, timothy seed,, clover seed, Ac., or 
where the ground - may not be firm, and there be liability in 
the wheels to sink, and the cutter to be brought in contact 
with the ground, sand, gravel, Ac. With my combined ma¬ 
chine, the farmer has also the advantage of a Reel in mow¬ 
ing, which admits of a slow walk to the horses, and is espe¬ 
cially valuable when the wind interferes with the successfu 
operation of the machine. 
The public are now especially cautioned to beware of 
Seymour Morgan's New-York Reaper,” also made by 
Warder A Brocaw, of Ohio. These men have been selling 
my machines, and taking premiums with them, (at the Ohio 
trial in 1S53 and elsewhere,) though under an injunction, the 
second time , since the late re-issue of my patent in April last, 
and in addition to a verdict of ©20,000 for past infringements. 
0=” Sundry other parties will soon be held to strict ac¬ 
count for their infringements, under this patent, which makes 
them just as liable to be enjoined as Seymour A Morgan.
