EDWARD TATNALL, Jr.. 



Brandywine Ifurseries, 

 WiLMiNGTOjf, - Delaware. 



This seed was procured at considerable expense by 

 William Ferris, of the above city, from the mountain 

 regions of South America, having been conveyed 

 thence by mule, "seven days journey" to Guayaquil, 

 where this gentleman resided nearly three years, and 

 made himself acquainted with the fact that this cotton 

 thrives, and is cultivated on the elevated lands of the 

 Andes, of which it is a j ative. His object was to in- 

 troduce it into our Northern and Western StateS) be- 

 lieving if it would stan.d their climate (and where it 

 now grows it is frequently covered wit snow and ice) 

 it would prove prove a source of great interest and 

 profit to the people of those States. 



As seed represented to be that of the tree cotton 

 has been palmed off on the public during the past 

 year, this is warranted to be the genuine article and

 lowing rates remitted in current funds with the or-
