TWO TRACTS of LAND, adjoining each other,
situated in the count,ot Philadelphia, in the town
fb p of Horfham, 19 miles from the city, being the
greater part o, that highly improvel Flm, known by
tne n>m of G^na- Park, formerly the property of
debtor Gramme, deceased, and by him deviled to his
daughter, the fubferiber, in whom the title is also v-ft
cd by an aft of the honourable the legifirture of ths
state.
Tr^a No. I. Contains 160 acres of excellent Land,
on which are 75 acres of the best timber, and 20 acres
of improved meadow. This land has been highly ma
nured with lime and dung, and has produced upwards
of twenty bushels of wheat per acre. There are on the
ptemifes four fpringe of fine water, fufficient to turn a
mill, and a branch of Nelhaminy runs through the
tract. It is four miles from NAhaminy mecting-houfe,
and three frora Horfham.
No. 2. Contains about too acres of good land, 55
acres of which are also of the best timber, a^d 15 acres
more may be had if required. This tra& opens on
the line ,at divides Philadelphia from Bucks county,
a much frequented road, and also on another road call
ed Dyer'< road. There is an orchard of fine grafted
fruit and some meadow on No. 2, and it lies conveni
ent for dividing into small Lots (if the purchaser (hould
think proper) to suit mechanicks or small farmers,! its
joining on two public reads gives it a peculiar conye
niency for that purpose.
A? an inducement for any one person to purchase
both trad;, the use of a large farm house and am excel
lent barn, adjoining the premises, for one year, rent
free, Grail be allowed the purchaser, in which time he
may ereft proper buildings on the purchase to suit his
.wn conveniency; but this privilege cannot be allowed
to the purchaser of either trad separately.
The tenant now on the premises has a winter crop In
the ground, which he has the permission to reap and
carry off.
The purchase money, in case both Lots are fold,
must be paid, one-third in hand and good fecurby for
the rest, in two yearly payments, with interest. An in
disputable title will be given by the fubferiber, on re
ceipt of the firft payment and good security for the re
sidue.
