AVc warrant all the goods wc sell to give entire satisfac- 
tion. If they are not satisfactory, they can be teturned at 
our expense within 00 days, and have the money refunded. 
By our system- of supplying Clubs throughout the country, 
consumers in all parts of the United States can receive their 
Teas at the same price (with the small additional expense 
of transportation), as though they bought them at our ware- 
houses in this city. 
Some parties inquire of ns how they shall proceed to get 
up a club. The answer is simply this: Let cacli person 
wishing to join in a club, say how much tea or coft'ee he 
wants, and select the kind and price from our Price List, as 
published in the papcrorin our circulars. "Write the names, 
kinds, aud amounts plainly on a list, and when the club is 
complete, send it to us by mail, aud we will put each party's 
goods in separate packages, and mark the name upon them, 
with the cost, so there need bono confusion in their distri- 
bution—each party getting exactly what lie orders, and no 
more. The cost of transportation, the members of the club 
can divide equitably among themselves. 
The funds to pay for the goods ordered can be sent by 
drafts on New York, by Post-Office money orders, or by 
Express, as may suit the convenience of the club. Or, if the 
amount ordered exceeds $30, we will, if desired, send the 
goods by Express, to "collect on delivery." 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the Club. Our profits are 'small, but we will 
be as liberal as we can afford. "We send no complimentary 
package for a Club less than $30. 
S. B.— All "villages and towns where a large 
number reside, by Clubbing together, can re- 
duce the cost of their Teas and Coffees abont 
one-third (beside the Express charges,) by 
sending directly to "The Great American 
Tea Company." 1 
BEWARE of all concerns that advertise themselves as 
branches of our Establishment, or copy our name either 
wholly or in part, as they are bogus or imitations. "We 
have no branches, and do not, in any case, authorize the 
use of our name.

GRAPE VINES at I0NA, 
My stock comprises all of the leading kinds, but princi- 
pally consists of 
IOM, ISRAELLA and DELAWARE. 
The performance of the Iona and Israella generally 
throughout all of the vine-region of the country, leaves no 
doubt in the minds of those best informed, that upon these 
now rests chiefly the prospect of the eminent success of 
grape culture in America for table and for wine. 
The proof of the hardiness, vigor, earliness, and produc- 
tiveness of the Iona, and of its adaptation to general culti- 
vation throughout the whole grape region is most abundant.

are worthy of every Planter's and Dealer's particular atten- 
tion. By the use of my improvement in rooting and trans- 
ferring vines to the open ground without "in the least 
cheeking their growth, or disturbing the roots or soil in 
which that are growing, I am enabled to keep far ahead 
of all others in the production of vines best suited for future 
vigorous growth and productiveness.

Mm. F. L. PEmr.y, Dear Sir .-— I see by tlie last Agricultur- 
ist that you quote a sentence from niv letter of April, in favor 
of your vines sent me last spring. Had I written you at anv 
time since the vines commenced* growing, I should have felt 
justified in giving my views of them in much stronger and 
emphatic praise. 
My vines have grown splendidly. All but the Aliens have 
grown from eight to twelve feet, with large strong canes, 
and fine strong laterals. 
I shall he disappointed if I do not get fruit from nearly all 
next year. The Allen has grown only two feet, and a'll of 
that during the past month. Mine is a light, gravelly Boll, 
and I am entirely satisfied with the progress iriv vines" have 
made. 
Please send me Illustrated Catalogue as I wish a few more 
vines and Pear Trees. 
I am very truly yours, Horatio norcuTOK.

Fuller & Barnnia's New Tuck Creas'er 
AND SELF GUIDE AND B.VSTEP. COMBINED". 
This grandest of all improvements is by H. W. Fuller, the 
original inventor of all Tuckers. 'While sewing a tuck, at 
each stitch, two Angers "pinch tip " a crease for the next 
tuck, the same as by hand, (instead of straining tlie cloth 
over a sharp point, by a "notch," as heretofore) and CAN- 
NOT CUT or STRAIN any kind of goods. The light spring 
of the Self Guide and Baster smooths the cloth.holding it to- 
gether without basting, and aids in guiding. JS'o measuring 
or ma rkinff. Time saved, and amount of tucking increased 
from TWO to THREE TIMES. Sold at most of the Sewing 
Machine offices, and for all machines at the Gen. Office, 613
