THE CULTIVATOR. 
March. 
Trial of Implements at Geneva. 
Mr. Tucker —I have quite recently discovered an article 
in the January No. of the Cultivator, over the signature of H. 
L. Emery, calculated to deceive the public in regard to the 
utility of my Horse Power. 
There seems to be one or two errors in the Report of the 
Committee on Agricultural Implements, to which he clings 
like a drowning man to a straw, and taking error for his data, 
he brings forth error which in due time will fall back upon 
the Emery Power with tremendous force. That the Emery 
Power is soon to become a matter of secondary considera¬ 
tion, is evident from the Report itself. And I shall be prepar¬ 
ed to show the matter up in its true light, through the columns 
of a fulure number of the Cultivator. 
I have endeavored to avoid controversy at all times, prefer¬ 
ring that my machine should go before the public upon its 
own merits; but the incorrectness of the results produced by 
my friend Mr. Emery, in his Review, demands an explana¬ 
tion. E. W. BADGER.

New, Rare and Valuable Seeds. 
NEW VARIETY OF SWEET CORN. 
M ESSRS. HOVEY & CO., No. 7 Merchants Row, Boston , 
would respectfully inform their friends and the public, 
that they have pirrehased the entire stock of the OLD COLO¬ 
NY SWEET CORN, raised by the Rev. A. R. Pope, and 
described by him in the Magazine of Horticulture, Volume 
XVI, page 529. 
It is a true hybrid and the most remarkable variety ever 
produced. It was raised in 1847, from the Southern White 
Corn, impregnated with the early Sweet Corn of New-Eng- 
land. The ears are of remarkable size, containing sixteen, 
eighteen or twenty , and sometimes twenty-four rows each. 
In its productiveness it is unsurpassed, a single stock planled 
after the middle of June producing six ears. It is the richest, 
sweetest and most delicious corn known. An analysis of it, 
and several other sorts, by Dr. C. T. Jackson, shows that ills 
more abundant in saccharine matter than any other variety, 
its composition being “dextrine, sugar, and. phosphate,’, 5 while 
the common varieties contain considerable “oil and gluten.” 
It lias been exhibited before the Massachusetts Horticultu¬ 
ral Society for three years, and has not onily received the 
commendation of the Society, but has been awarded the fol¬ 
lowing prizes: 
1850. For a new variety of Sweet Com,.$2 00 
1851. For a new variety of Sweet Corn, called 
the Old Colony,. 8 00 
For superior specimens of the Old Colony 
Sweet Corn, Silver Medal,. 5 00 
1S52. For fine specimens' of do 2 00 
The Committee on Vegetables, 1 of the Massachusetts Hor¬ 
ticultural Society, in their Report for 1852, remark, “ That 
the Old Colony Sweet Corn, raised by Mr. Pope, we recom¬ 
mend as worthy of cultivation by all ” 
The Old Colony Sweet Corn, though not as early as the 
Common Sweet, is sufficiently so to produce a perfect crop 
in New-England. Two sowings, one in May and the other 
in June, will supply the table from July until frost. All who 
have eaten it, pi-onounce it the most luscious variety, and an 
invaluable addition to our esculent vegetables.

Valuable Potatoes for Sale. 
r j''HE subscriber offers the following valuable varieties for 
J. sale, apart of which are described in the last volume of 
the Transactions of the State Society. 
This Society awarded him a special premium at the State 
Fair at Utica, and also $100 at their meeting at Albany dur¬ 
ing the present month, (Dee.,) as encouragement in these ex¬ 
perimental efforts. 
1st. The Rough Purple Chili, imported from South Amer¬ 
ica, April. 1851, at a great expense. In yield, hardiness, and 
table quality, it has no equal. Price $10 per bushel. 
This potato yielded me this year ninety-two from one, by 
measure; while to Mr. Delafield of Geneva, it yielded one 
hundred and twelve from one, by weight. 
2nd. Seedlings originated in 1849. They are hardy, pro¬ 
ductive, and fit for the table. Price$3 per bushel. 
Many of these have been tested this year, under the eye of 
the State Society, and have yielded from twenty to sixty- 
four, from one. 
3d. Seedlings of 1852. These consist of many choice 
kinds, selected from four thousand two hundred varieties, 
grown mostly from seed balls of No. 1 and 2, above. This 
collection was made with great care in regard to hardiness, 
flesh, yield and mode of growth; and it is believed to afford a 
basis for the entire renewal of the potato crop in our country. 
Price $10 per bushel. 
4th. Potato seed—from the seed ball. This was borne by 
No. 1 and 2 above. It lias been proved, and is warranted to 
yield a large proportion of hardy, productive and shapely va¬ 
rieties. Price $1 per paper; each of which contains over 
one thousand seeds. These will be sent by mail, the postage 
to he paid by myself. 
[Cr*Each parcel of potaloes ordered, will he put up with 
care, the kinds kept separate, and forwarded by express, ca¬ 
nal, or private conveyance, as soon as the weather will per¬ 
mit, at the expense and risk of the purchaser. 
Nos. 1 and 2 are advised for immediate field crops, and No, 
3, for new sorts for the years following. 
Persons passing through Utica, are invited to call and see 
specimens at the store of Wm. Bristol Sc Co., Druggists, No. 
108 Genesee-street, or at the house of the subscriber, near
