PURE AND VALUABLE SEEDS! 
H aving experienced the gi'eat difficulty in obtaining reliable 
FLOWER SEED, suitable to the South, I have raised a 
small quaniity, which I have placed in the hands of D. B. Plumb & 
Co., Druggists in this city for retailing. I would particularly draw- 
the attention of the ladies to the splendid collection of Stock Gilly 
Flowers, Ten Weeks Stock. Double AVall Flovrers, and German 
Asters. [Dec56— tf] ROBERT NELSON. 
Multiply the distances into each other, and divide it by 
the square feet in an acre, or 43,560, and the quotient is 
the number of plants.

BLACK ESSEX HOGS. 
F or sale, a few pau-s, three to tour months r'u., -.c 5i)*2C per 
pair. ForLotHogs, I consider this breed super lor to anj^ other 
—they cannot be made to ta,ke the mange, and are free from 
•’l l 'neons eruptions and disease of the lungs, to which hogs are so 
.tab.o w hen confined in dry pens in a Southern climate. Address

THE CHINESE PEA ! 
T he mor-t PROLIFIC PEA known ; well adapted to noor land-s, 
and yielding more to the amount planted and the acre than 
any other, by an hundred per cent. One pea planted yielding a 
half gallon, if allowed proper distance to spread. The peas grow - 
ing in bunches, save great labor in gathering. The vines are eaten 
greedily by stock, and the pea is unsurpassed for the table in deli- 
cacy and richness of flavor. 
Any one wishing them can have a package containing half a 
pint (from 6 to 7 ounces) sent per mail, postage<paid, by remitting 
US$1 30 — ($1 in current funds and 30 cents in postage stamps.) 
Any one not perfectly satisfied with the Pea wull have his mone 
returned. Address D. B. PLUMB & CO., Augusta, Ga.
