NEW STRAWBERRY, McAVGY’s SUPERIOR. 
rrms is the Strawberry which has just obtained the premium of 
-I $100 offered in 1847 by the Cincinnati Hort. Society for a new 
seedling superior to any in cultivation. It is the largest sum ever 
awarded for an American fruit. Mr. Downing in the Aug. number 
of the Horticulturist, says: “As Cincinnati is noted as the finest 
Strawberry market in the world, and as the Horticulturists there are 
especially acute in Strawberry lore, we naturally look for great 
merit in this prize production doubly endorsed.” The Fruit Com¬ 
mittee in their report, speak of it as follows : “ McAvoy’s No. 12 
Seedling, we propose to call McAvoy’s Superior} the specimens ex¬ 
hibited are superior to Hovey’s Seedling, or any other strawberry 
that came under the examination of the committee, and is entitled to 
the premium of $100 offered by this Society in 1847.” 
Mr. McA. writes us that he has cultivated this fruit for several 
years, has tested it thoroughly, and that it is admitted by all who have 
seen it to be the most superb strawberry ever produced. Strong 
plants, now ready, $1.50 per doz. 
Three dozen fine varieties of Strawberry, including Burr’s New 
Pine, Richardson’s Seedlings and all the new and best old varieties, 
with the above, for $12. Address, B. M. WATSON,

NEW INVENTION. 
Wheeler’s Combined Thresher and Winnower. 
(See engraving on page 338 ) 
I N the successful completion of this Machine, the long desired ob¬ 
ject is attained of Threshing and Winnowing grain with but two 
horses, and at the same time with satisfactory and desirable speed and 
despatch. The Combined Thresher and Winnower is so simple in 
construction that the works are all driven by two bands, which in¬ 
clude the one which geers it to the horse power. There is conse¬ 
quently but little friction produced, and the liability to get out of or¬ 
der, which complicated Machines are subject to, chiefly avoided. 
The Thresher and Winnower is well adapted to Field Threshing, 
being light and compact, and requiring but little time to load and un¬ 
load it. The whole Machine, including the Horse Power, is conven¬ 
iently carried on a two horse wagon, the weight being less than 2500 
lbs., and can be unloaded and set in readiness to work in less than 
30 minutes and re-loaded ready to move in the same time. 
Several of these Machines have just been put in operation in differ¬ 
ent sections of New-York, and some of them by men who have 
heretofore used the most approved kinds of Machinery for Threshing 
and.Cleaning, but which they have thrown aside and taken ours^ 
after having thoroughly tested it. They are Threshing and Win¬ 
nowing about 150 bushels of Wheat per day, and twice that quantity 
of Oats, and are doing their work in the most satisfactory manner. 
Four men and two horses are all that are required to work the Ma¬ 
chine. 
We have spent much time and money in accomplishing the de¬ 
sirable object of Tnreshing and Winnowing at one process with 
so small a power as two horses and at the same time with sufficient 
speed for all practical purposes and we now offer the Farming Com¬ 
munity this machine, as the result of our efforts with the most entire 
confidence in its success. Orders addressed to the subscribers at Al¬ 
bany will be promptly attended to.

To Nurserymen, Gardeners, and others. 
T HE subscriber wishes to sell his farm, of 68 acres, situated in the 
beautiful town of Northampton, Hampshire county,Mass., located 
about half a mile from Dr. Chas. Mundee’s celebrated Water Cure 
Establishment; also about half a mile from half a dozen Silk, Cot¬ 
ton, Button and other manufacturing establishments, and about two 
miles from the Depot of the Connecticut River Railroad. The main 
buiidings are a good ice-house and valuable barn, with two tenant 
houses, cne-quarler of a mile distant; all of which are nearly new. 
A portion of the land is in a very high state of cultivation, the grounds 
are laid out in modern style, and are planted with shrubbery, and a 
large number of choice young Fruit and Ornamental Trees. Plenty 
of wood and water on the premises. 
It is considered one of ihe pleasantest and best places in the west¬ 
ern part of the town; being a desirable location for a Gardener or 
Nurseryman, and a good place for a Livery Stable, one having been 
kept there for the last six years. Some 8 or 10,000 young Fruit Trees, 
of choice varieties, and very thrifty, will be sold with the place if 
desired, and the nursery business given up to the purchaser (a por¬ 
tion of the trees now fit to transplant.) 
Any number of acres, from six and a half upwards, will be sold 
with the main buildings, at a very low price. From $800 to $1,500 
would be required down; the balance might remain on mortgage for 
a long time if desired, GEO. A. HILL.
