FRENCH SUGAR BEET. 



We have just received a fresh lot of French Sugar Heel o 

 this year's growth. Tiie cultivation of the Beet for tl e man- 

 ufacture of sugar, is exciting the attention of farmers o-pne- 

 rally throughout the country, and bids fair to be one of the 

 inosi important branches of domestic industrv. Sandy soi's 

 formed by alluvions and deposits of rivers are very favorable 

 lo the growth of beets ; but the best soils for the purpose are 

 those tiiat have the greatest depth of vegetable mould. The 

 produce from an acre is very great. Two and a half pounds 

 IS requisite to seed an acre. 'J'he seed may be sown broad- 

 cast, or in drills. We confidently recommend the article here 

 offered. It is pure and of the right kind, selected wi h great 

 care fiom imported roots. For sale at the New Kn»land Seed 

 Store, by JOSEPH BRECK & CO

RAW SILK AND SILK COCOONS. 



The Atlantic Silk Company at Nantucket will pay cash 

 and the highest prices for any quantity of American Reeled 

 Silk. The price will be regulated according to the quality 

 and the manner in which it is reeled. 'I his Company will 

 also contract to pay cash and the highest price for any quan- 

 tiiy o( Silk Cocoons raised the present year. Believinn- that 

 it would be decidedly for the interest of cultivators that the 

 price of cocoons shou'd be regulated by the quantity and 

 quality of the silk which can be reeled from them, they pro- 

 pose to receive and reel them, and allow the highest price for 

 the silk which they will aflbrd, in preference to purchasi.'.g 

 them by the bushel ; as by the mode proposed, the cultivator 

 will realize all which they'can possibly be made to prothice. 

 Where thi, course is objected to ihey will purchase them as 

 they aie usually sold, by the bushel ; in which ease the price 

 will vary according to the qualilv, age, mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



It is the intention of this Company at all times to offer 

 everj encouragement lo silk cultivators by paying cash and 

 liberal prices for Raw Silk and Silk Cocoons in any quantities 

 to be delivered at Nantucket, or at the Seed Store connected 

 with the New England Farmer, No. 32 North Market street, 

 Boston. Communications on the subject may be addresseiii
