 and the manner in which it is reeled, "i his Company will 

 also conlracl lo pay cash and the highest price for any quan- 

 lily ot Silk Cocoons raised Ihe present year. Believing that 

 il would i)e decidedly for the interest of ciillivalors that the 

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

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

 pose to receive and reel ihein. and allow the highest price for 

 the silk which they will aflord. in preference to purchasir.g 

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

 will realize all which they can possibly be made to produce. 

 Where ihi- course is objected to dicy will purch'»se them as 

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

 wili vary according lo the qualitv, age^ mode of packing, 

 dampness, &c. 



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

 cver^ encouragement lo silk cultivators by paying cash and

FRENCH SUGAR BEET. 



We have just received a fresh lot of French Sugar Beet o) 

 this year's growth. Tne cullivalion of the Beet for lie man- 

 ulacture of sugar, is exciting the auenlion of farmers gene- 

 rally '.liiuughout the country, and bids fair lo be one of the 

 most impoitant branches of domestic industry. Sandy soi s 

 formed by alluvions and deposits of rivers are very (avnrabic 

 to the growl of beets ; but ih*- bes*. soils for the purpose are 

 those t ,al have the greatest depth ol vegetable mould. The 

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

 IS requisite to seed an acre. 'Ihe seed may be sown bioad- 

 cast, or in drills. We confidently recrimmend Ihe artirlc here 

 offered. It is pure and of the rifihl kind, se'ecle*! wi h great 

 care ftom imported roots. For sale at th« New Fngland Seed
