DIOBCOREA BATATAS--HBW ::HiNESB 
Potato— or Ham. 
t fC' HE experience of another season in the cnitivation of this new 
J_ esculent, w-arrants us in conhrming all we said in relation to it 
last year. Wherever it ha.s fallen into the hands of judicious cul- 
tivators, and received the care necessary to its full development, 
the result has been entirely satisfactory in all respects ; and it may 
confidently be reaffirmed that of all the esculents proposed as sub- 
stitute.s f ir the diseased potato, the Dioscorea Batatas is certainly 
the only important one. We can now supply small roots from 4 to 
Pinches long, carefully packed for transport at $ 5 per dozen; and 
small seed tubers (such as we sold last year) at $1 per dozen to 
$7 per hundred; these latter can be sent by mail. Description 
and directions for culture furnished with each package Where 
practicable, parties are invited to examine the roots be; ore purchas 
mg, as we have them constantly on view.

T’HE MOST EXTRAORDINARY COTTON IN 
the World. 
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

CERTIFICATES. 
I certify that I am doing business for Dr. Goree and have seen 
his communication of the ^Sth of November, and cheerfully certiiy 
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 pre.'^ent day. 
Ibel.eve 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 seen Dr. Goree’s .stalk of Cotton, and that it 
is all he describes it to be. It ditfers from the fine cotloii of the pre- 
sent day by branching much more and every branch filled with 
bolls. 1 consider it an entire new' cotton, and far more valuable 
than the best lhave ever seen, aud fully a month earlier than our 
earliest cotton and well suited, 1 shou'd 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 certaiul 3 ' is a very extraordinary 
stalk, maturing so early so many bolls. 
WILLIAM WALDRON. 
At the request of our neighbor. Dr. Goree, we have examined 
the stalk of cotton described by him io a communication to tlu 
SotUhtru Culti-Bator, aud do cheerfully testify to the correctness ol 
the general facts of his description, and believe them ad to be 
correct. ROBT. IL DOUGI.ASS.

As a, proof of the keepimr qualities of this new- Strawberry, on 
the mor- log of the bth of May la.st [Friday,] I picked a case of 
the berries, took them to Columbus six miles, in my buggy, sent 
them from Coi'iml us to Savannah, three hundred miles by Rail- 
road, and from ’^avaun.ah to New York, nine hundred miles by 
steamer to my friends, Messrs. J. M. Thorburn <fe Go. The follow--
