CATALOGUE. > OBO1-- The proprietors of this establishment have no hesitation in recommending all their seeds as fresh and genuine —all those sorts, the seeds of which can be raised to advantage in this country, are saved by the most experienced and careful grow- ers, under their own inspection—those sorts that are found ne- cessary to import, are from the first establishments in Europe, and upon whose veracity the utmost reliance may be placed. As there are sometimes complaints made, that certain seeds will not vegetate, it may be well to give them a fair trial before they are condemned. Those that are good may sometimes fail of coming up, in various ways; some kinds may be sown too soon, and be chilled in the ground before they vegetate; at other times, they may be scorched in the ground by the hot sun, are many times eaten up by insects, and very often are too deeply covered in the earth. The best way to prove them is by sowing a few ina small pot or box, of light loose earth, and placing it in a warm room exposed to the sun, and attend- ing to keeping the earth moist; if the seed is good, it will ve- getate in areasonable time. : In this Catalogue, the scientific names are annexed to the com- mon, and also the French to the leading name of each species, for the accommodation of such persons, and gardeners, as de- sire to become acquainted with them; and, to prevent miscon- ceptions of the articles. required by purchasers, have also an- nexed a Key to the prices of allthe Esculent Vegetables.

Timothy Grass produces the best hay for horses of any yet known—September best time for sowing, grows best on a moist soil, but not wet. CULTURE OF LUCERNE. 25 Orchard Grass ripens as soon as Red Clover, and suits well to be sown on the same ground—produces good and early pasture—may be sown spring or fall. Green Grass and White Clover, best suited for seed- ing lawns, and forming grass plats. Borage, Caraway and Fenugreek, are medicinal, and pot herbs may be propagated from seed or slips, sown or planted, spring or fall. —2te Believing it may be useful to the public, we have in- serted John Patrick’s communication on the CULTURE OF LUCERNE. Perth Amboy, July 10th, 1823. Having been for eight or ten years in the successful practice of the culture of Lucerne, I think it may bene- ficially promote the interests of Agriculture, to offer a few remarks on that subject. This article (frequently denominated French Clover) | have found from experi- ence, to be not only the most convenient, but also the most profitable of all grasses. It vegetates quicker in speing than any other grass; it resists the effects of roughts ; it may be cut 4 or 5 times in the course of the season, and it will endure from 10 to 12 years without re- newing. Of all other grasses, it is the most profitable for soiling. Iam fully of opinion, that one acre properly got in, would be more than sufficient to maintain at least six head of cattle, from the Ist of May until frost sets in; for before it can be cut down in this way, the first part of it will again be ready for the scythe. English wri- ters have recommended the drill system for this article, but in this climate, | have found this is entirely falla- cious. The proper mode is, to have your land properly prepared, ‘o sow the seed abroad cast, and to get it in - during tie month of April, or in the early part of May, Fall sowing will not answer; for, like clover when sowed late, itis found not tp resist the winter’s frosts. It s.ay be sowed with spring rye, barley, or oats; but in the last case, 1 would recommend the oats to be cut green, 3 20 GULTURE OF YELLOW LOCUST. and before getting into seed, by which means, an early feed for cattle may be obtained, and the soil will not be so much (if any) impoverished. But the mode I would most confidently recommend, would be to sow with the Lucerne about half a bushel of common or winter rye.— The effect of this is, that the rye which vegetates quick- ly, serves asa nurse to the young grass, against the heat of the scorching sun; and by the time the grass attains strength to protect itself, the rye withers, apparently dies. It will, however, come forth in the spring, and mixed with the Lucerne, prove a most excellent feed for cattle, and also add much to the quantity of fodder.— The rye will admit of being cut green in this way, before getting into seed. two or three times before it decays.—— The quantity of seed I would recommend to be sowed to the acre, would be from 15 to 20 lb. The kind of soil most suitable for this culture. is a dry mellow loam, but a sandy or clay loam will also answer, provided they are not wet. In a favourable season, the rye may be cut the ensuing fall after sowing. After the first season, you may generaily begin to cut green for cattle by the first of May, which saves vour young pastures, and is in every respect a great convenience, as hogs, and every description of animals, devour it with equal avidity. It produces a great quantity of seed, and is much more easily threshed out than Clover. The second and third crops are the most productive of seed. JOHN PATRICK. CULTURE OF YELLOW LOCUST. The Robinia pseuda-acacia, or Yellow Locust Tree, is superier to any other kind of wood for ship trunnels, mill cogs, and fence posts, as weil as for various other purposes. Its culture is very easy,and may be propa- — ated in great abundance, by sowing the seed in April or Ray, in a bed of good sandy loam, which is their favour- ite soil, and covering half an ineh deep ; previous to sow- ing, put the seed in a baisin, pour scalding water, and let them stand all night: pick out such seeds as are swol- CULTURE OF YELLOW LOCUST. 27 len, and plant them immediately : next evening repeat the same process, with such as have not swollen the first night, mix the whole, and sow them ; they will come up in the course of the following month, numourously : for no seeds grow more freely, notwithstanding what some may say tothe contrary. When a year old, transplant them out of the seed bed into the nursery rows, four feet distant, and plant from plantone foot in the row. Having two or three years growth in these rows, they may be planted successfully in any warm and tolerably rich san- dy ground. They may also be propagated by suckers, which they throw up abundantly, especially if some of the wide extending roots be cut through with an axe, 28 AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. have been at much cost in collecting the best mo- Pioughs, from many parts of our own and other countries, from which we have endeavoured te con- struct Ploughs on the most approved plan, to suit the» varivus purposes of the farmer, for breaking stilt sward, and others which cut wide furrows. suited te sandy or mellow land ; and small ones for seeding wheat, amongst AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 29 which are the following, viz—-Sinclair’s Barshare, Wood’s Cast Iron, Cary’s Patent Self-sharpening, Pa- tent Hili Side, Maxcy’s Trible and Five Shaired, Dou- ble Mould Board Ploughs, of sizes, all which we cone stantly keep ready made, of the best materials and work- manship—those who may want such articles, may suit themselves on application to us, at the shortest notice.— Also Wire of all sizes, suited for Screens, Saves, Rid- dles, &c.—Riddles ready made. 36 AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. Drills and Sowing Machines of various kinds, for drilling beans, peas, turnips, &c. and sowing wheat, plaister and grass seeds, 12 feet wide, by which means much time and labour may be saved. AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. 3i This Cultivator is now so generally known, and so much approved of, that but lttie need be said about it; yet for the information of those who are unacquainted with it, we may inform, that with it and one horse, corn may be tilled as fast as three ploughs can perform the sane work; and with equal expedition may be used in seeding wheat, cultivating cotton and tobacco, and garden vegetables, and are made of sizes to suit the va- various purposes required; buf as the tines or shares are small, they must in ail cases be used before the grass gets ahead, or they will not answer so well. Those cuitiva- tors are kept ready made, and are cheap and substan- ‘tial articles costing only about five to six dollars, accord- ing the size and kind. We constantly keep a supply of the improved cheap Wheat Fans—those Fans are made low and handy to attend, not complicated, but plain and substantial, and consequently easily kept in repair, with one of which we have cleaned one bushel of wheat per minute. 32 AGRICULTURAL IMPLEMENTS. STRAW CUTTERS OR CHAFFING MACHINES. We have several kinds—Daton’s Patent Self-fee«ing Wheel Boxes—Evan’s Patent, and common Duich Treadle Boxes of different sizes, which have been long in use and approved of. A ROOT CUTTER or TURNIP SLICER, which will cut one bushel of Turnips per minute, in suitable sizes to feed stock, in which state they will mix much better with straw and chaff, and vreat advantage 1s de- rived by this nixture, the chaff and straw are profitably worked up into manure, and at the same time is a cor- rective to the purging nature of the roots. THRESHING MACHINES for two or four horse power, warranted to thresh clean and very fast. Also, COTTON GINS, of the most approved kinds. CORN SHELLER, This Machine was invented and patented by Z. Phin- ney, it is composed principally of cast iron, and there- fore durable, and having the rotatory motion, is easily adapted to horse or water power, but most commonly propelled by manuel power, and with it two hands may may shell 25 bushels per hour; it is quite portable, and may be transported at a small expense to any part of the United States.
