A SAUL A CO., in inviting the attention of their patrons 
• and the public in general, to their very extensive col¬ 
lection of FRUIT AND ORNAMENTAL TREES, 
SHRUBS, Ac., Ac., would respect fully inform them that the 
stock which they offer for sale the coming spring, is unusually 
fine, both as regards quality of trees and variety of kinds, Ac. 
The soil and climate of the Hudson Highlands, have ren¬ 
dered proverbial the success of the trees sent from here, to 
all parts of the Union, and the accuracy and precision so in¬ 
dispensable in the propagation of fruit trees, for which' this 
establishment has long been celebrated, render errors pi no¬ 
menclature of rare occurrence. 
They have propagated in large quantities, all the leading 
standard varieties, which are proved best adapted for general 
cultivation, especially those recommended by the American 
Pomofogjcal Society; as well as all novelties both of 'native 
and foreign origin. 
To particularize, within the limits of an ad erlisement, 
would be impossible; they refer to their general catalogue, 
a copy of which will be sent to all pre-paid applicants, on en¬ 
closing a Post Office Stamp.

all of fine growth,,viz:

The Stowel! Ever Green Sweet Corn. 
A FEW bushels of this new and valuable variety, from 
seed raised by Professor .T. J. Mapes, L L. D., for sale, 
per bushel, $10; peck. $5; half peek. $3; quart. $1; sent 
by express to any part of the country, on receipt of the mo¬ 
ney by mail. This is beyond all doubt the best and most pro¬ 
lific kind of Sweet Corn, ever grown. No Farmer should 
be without it. Due of the advantages claimed for this corn 
by Prof. Mapes, is that it may be kept green -and fresh all 
the year round. The subscriber’s limited experience, how¬ 
ever, does not enable him lo endorse this. Address, post¬ 
paid, ALFRED E. BEACH, 
White Plains, Westchester Co., N. Y. 
[From the “Working Farmer,” September, 1851. By 
Professor M apes ] 
“ We have long been convinced, that sweet corn would 
prove superior as green fodder to any other ; and the only 
objection urged against its use, has been the smatleryield per 
acre, compared with other kinds. We.are now prepared to 
recommend the use of Stowell’s Ever Green Coni for 
this purpose. The stalks are nearly as sweet as those of 
sugar-cane, and double the quantity can be grown to the acre 
to that resulting from ordinary sweet corn. 
[Prof. Mapes, in the “ Working Fanner,” December, 1851, 
gives the following directions for preserving the Slowed 
Evergreen Sweet Corn :—] 
“ The ears should be gathered when fully ripe, and the 
husk should be lied at the nose (silk end,) to prevent drying, 
when the corn will keep soft,white,and plump for more than 
a year , if in a dry and cool place. At the dinner of the Man¬ 
agers after the Fair of the American Institute, last year, we 
ptesented them with this corn of two successive year’s 
growth boiled, and there was no perceptible difference be¬ 
tween the two. This year we sent to the Fair, one stalk, 
containing eight full and fair ears, and could have sent many 
hundred stalks of six ears each.” Jan. 27, 1853—ll*clt*
