EDWARD TATNALL, Jr., 
Brandy •w hie Nurseries, Wilmington, Delaware. 
This seed was proenred at considerable expense bv TV11- 
11am Ferris, of the above city, from the mountain region!* of 
South America, having been conveyed thence bv mule, 
"seven days Journey," to Guayaquil, where thi* gentleman 
resided nearly three years, and made himself acquainted with 
the Eact that this cotton thrives, and is cultivated on the ele- 
viitrii hinds of the Andes, of which it is a native. His object 
was to introduce it into our Northern and Western States, 
believing if it would stand their climate (and where it dow 
grows. It is frequently covered with snow and ice) it would 
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 wae- 
ranted to be the genuine article, and will* be forwarded by

rent funds with the order: 
35 for $1.00 ; (JO for $'3.00 ; 110 for $3.00 ; 200 for $5.00 ; 500 for
