I DESIRE to sell the Ei^lit of making and selling the new 
DOUBLE-JOIETED PATEET BUCKLE, and will thank- 
fully receive offers for it until the 1st day of June next. The 
■Buckle is the best that has yet been invented, one answering for 
the w’hole ward robe and should be made of gold or silver. The 
Right of one State is worth a fortune. I will sell the Right of 
one or all the States together. ' WM. SLADE.

rr^ HE experience pf another season in the cultivation of this new 
X esculent, warrants us in conSrming all we' said in relation to it 
last year. Wherever it fe.ll'on into the hands of judicious cul- 
tivators, and received th§^ care necessary to its full development, 
the result has b( (. n er i , \ sn' ctory in all respects ; and it may 
confidently be rcc miAli cict 1 1 the esculents proposed as sub- 
stitutes for the d '-Ct . )> lo the Dioscorea Batatas is certainly 
the only important one. tS c cu)i i'.ow snpxily small roots from 4 to

THE MOST EXTRAORDINAHlf COTTON IN 
the W’oiid. 
I HAVE for sale the earliest COTTON in the world,and will sell 
the seed at $1 each or six seed for $5. or the seed of the stalk 
now on hand say thi’ee thousand, for $2,000. J. L. GORES, 
South Bend, Ark., 1856. 
CERTIFICATES. 
I certify that I am doing business for Dr. Goree and have seen 
his communication of the 28th of November, and cheerfully certify 
that it is correct and not the least exaggerated. The cotton is 
either a new one or one I have never seen before, as I am very 
well acquainted with most of the new cottons of the present day. 
I believe this seed will open as early in latitude 34 as any seed I 
know will in latitude 32. ALEX. DAVIDSON. 
I certify that I have seenDf. Goree’s stalk of Cotton, and that it 
is all he describes it to be. It differs from the fine cotton of the pre- 
sent day by branching much more and every branch fiUed with 
bolls. I consider it an entue new cotton, and, far more valuable 
than the best I have ever seen, and fully a month earlier than our 
earliest cotton and well suited, I should think, to the latitude of 
Tennessee and perhaps of Kentucky. It would not surprize me if 
this cotton does not more effectually than any thing else settle the 
stomachs of the Abolitionists. It certainly is a very extraordinary 
stalk, maturing sojearly so many bolls. 
WILLIAM WALDRON. 
At the»request of our neighbor, Dr. Goree, we have examined 
the stalk of cotton described by him in a communication to the 
Southern Cultivator, and do cheerfully testify to the correctness of 
the general facts of his description, and believe them all to be 
correct. ROBT. H. DOUGLASS. 
[Mr. Douglass did not see the cotton for two months, and it hav- 
ing been so long in the house, the childi'en had pulled many bolls 
off ami on the 'twenty boll limb it only had nineteen, -.inuthat is why 
he worded it as he did. The others saw it the next day after pull- 
ing. J. L. GOREE.]

PE ABOUT’ 3 NEVv’^ SEEDLING STP-A\V- 
berry. 
SUBSCRIBER has originated a new Seedlmg STRAW- 
X BERRY, which combines more good qualities to maxe up a 
jjerfect berry than any ever yet introduced, viz ; It is of ihe largest 
nze. measuring six and seven inches in circumference ; it is of 
beautiful form, attacl'.edto tbe caylx by a polished coral-like ne^ 
without seeds : rich, deep crimson color ; fruit borne on tall 
stalks, of the most exquisite pine flavor; fie.sh fiim, melliog and 
juicy ; and bears transportation better than any StrawbejTj’- ever 
cnlrivated (See engraving and description of the plant in the 
November No., last volume.) 
I will be prepared to send the plant out, whenever the following 
terms are complied with. Not a plant of this variecy hr-' ever left 
my grounds, nor ever will, until the propositions below are .sub- 
scribed to. I propose to get one thousand sub.scriptions at $5 per 
djfcen plants, throughout the whole country. Subscribers on for- 
warding their names, and j)ostofliee addre.ss, with the number of 
dozen desired, will receive by retnim mail a berartiful colored plate 
of the vine and fi n't, di awn from nature: aud as soon as the thou- 
sand subscriptions are made up, I will notify each subscriber, when 
the money may be mailed to me., and I will prrt the plant.s up in 
moss, envelope them in oil silk, aud forward them by mail. By 
this method they can be sent to any part of the Union with safety 
and de.spatch. I have sent package.' of 100 of the eommoji Straw- 
berry 1.000 miles by mail, without the loss of a plant. Packages 
of one dozen wUl go through the mail as certainly as a letter. 
Subscribers, on receSving” the colored plates will please .show 
their friends, that it may hasten the completion of the list. From 
one dozen plants, one thousand may be produced the first year. — 
This plant is the hermaphrodite, always bearing perfect crops of 
fruit, without any impregnator. 
Direction.s for the culture of this plant will be sent with each 
colored plate. CHARLES A. PEABODY. 
Cohimbus, Ca., Oct. 1, 1856. 
As a proof of the keeping qualities of this new Strawberry, on 
tbe morning of tbe 9th of May last, [Frida,y,] I picked a case of 
the berries, took them to Columbus, six miles, in my buggy, sent 
them from Columbus to Savannah, three hnndi’ed miles by Rail- 
road, aud from Savannah to New York, nine hundred miles by 
steamer to my friends, Me.ssr3. J. M. Tborbum & Co. The follow- 
ing extract from Messrs. Thorburn & Co.’s letter, will show the 
condition of the berries just one week after they were picked.

Mr. Charles A. Peabody— Dear Sir.— The Strawberries 
came to hand on the a,fternoon of Tuesday, sound and in very good 
condition, retaining an unnsually strong Strawberry aroma. * * 
The berries have wilted down only a very little, up to this time, 
Friday morning, May 16th. Yours truly,
