ANDRE LEROY, 
Nurseryman, at Angers, France, 
R ETURNS his thanks for past favors, and begs leave to inform 
his friends and the public in general that his catalogue for 1851 
is now ready and can be had on application to his agent Mr. E. Bos- 
sange, 138 Pearl street, New-York. He offers for sale a large col¬ 
lection of the finest fruit, forest and ornamental trees of all "kinds, 
shrubs, roses, Ac &c. The superior quality of his trees is already 
known in the United States, and the experience he has of packing up 
trees to be sent abroad gives him a noted advantage over all other 
Nurserymen. Orders had better be sent early', although his Nur¬ 
sery is the largest in France, the number of some new kinds of trees 
are limited and some of the last orders sent last year could not be 
executed. The terms, prices, charges, and all desirable information 
will be found in his catalogue. The trees will be shipped to the care 
of his agent in New-York, who will attend to the receiving and for¬ 
warding. For further particulars and for the catalogue apply to

T HE subscriber has made a contract for a large quantity of bone 
dust, ground fine, also, for the sawings and turnings of buttons, 
which he offers for sale at $2.25 per barrell, including package, war¬ 
ranted pure. Owing to the large demand this season, many were 
disappointed in getting their supply, without paying exorbitant prices 
(elsewhere.) Farmers and Planters will please send in their orders 
at their earliest convenience, stating the quantity they will want, and 
at what time the same is to be delivered. It is necessary to have 
their orders at this season to enable me to reserve for them their sup¬ 
ply in the spring or earlier. If they' desire, now in store, Peruvian

A RARE CHANCE! 
P OMONA FARM FOR SALE—consisting of 120 acres of excel¬ 
lent land, including a young Orchard of Fiffy acres, containing 
over five thousand trees, of the choicest kinds of apple and peach, 
selected with especial reference to market purposes—the apples mostly 
of the longest keeping varieties, designed for the Southern markets. 
The peach trees are planted alternately between the apple, so as to 
be removed by the time the latter will need all the ground. About 
half of the trees have been planted two years, the rest one year, and 
a thousand or more of the peach may be expected to bear fruit the 
coming season. In a very few y'ears, it is believed, one good crop 
of fruit from this Orchard will be worth sufficient to pay for the en¬ 
tire purchase of the farm. 
Pomona Farm is situated near the village of West Jefferson, 14 
miles west of Columbus, O., at the intersection of the National Road, 
Xenia Turnpike, and the Columbus and Cincinnati Railroad, and 
within 100 iods of the Depot; affording excellent facilities for trans¬ 
porting fruit and other products to market. The situation is beauti¬ 
fully elevated and undulating, and remarkably healthy, and is well 
adapted for fruit and grain growing, poultry raising, Ac. About 100 
rods of Osage Orange Hedge was planted on the premises last spring, 
and plants are now ready for completing the enclosure of the orchard 
the coming spring, if desired. This property was purchased and 
improved by the proprietor for his own permanent use, but finding it 
inconvenient to attend his business in town and this at the same time, 
he has concluded to allow some one else to reap the fruits of his la¬ 
bor, only asking a small return for his expenditures.
