ters of inquirv received, 1 would now give general notice to 
my patrons tliat if any of them failed to receive the seed 
ordered, (which occasionally happens from the breaking of 
packages, miscarriage, indistinctness of address, dishonesty 
of officials, and like causes,) if they will notify me of the fact, 
I will refund their money or place it to their credit for next 
season, as tliey mav elect, as I insure all seed ordei'ed to reach 
them. JAMES J. H. GREGORV Marblehead, Mass.

Best and Cheapest Fruit Basket 
in tlie World. 
This new feasket. made of Veneer, for Strawberries, &c., 
is the most simple, useful, ingenious and cheap article of the 
kind now in use. It seems to have overcome all the objec- 
tions known to Fruit Growers or Fruit Dealers, as ull alike 
are at once impressed witli its manilest utility. The fact is 
now well known to everv one that a tight box should never 
be used. This new Basket is thoroughly ventilated, remark- 
ably attractive in appearance when filled with fruit— and can 
be packed in one-qn.irter less space than the round basket or 
box.— It is not only very strongly made, but is sold at a much 
less price than anything-of the kind now in market. 
Substantial Crates, to hold'from 13 to 96 quart baskets, and 
so arranged that the beiries can not spill out, even if the
