T he Subscriber having added many additional varieties of Southern 
Seedling FRUIT TRERS to his former stock, comprising some 
fifty varieties of Apples, one hundred of Pears, twenty of Cherries, 
twenty of Peaches, Nectarines, &c., and being re-assured of their su- 
periority over those raised in Northern Nurseries, with confidence, 
founded on experience, again offers them to the attention of Southern 
Farmers, Planters and Pomologists at such prices as, he hopes, will 
leave no excuse for continuing to import them. Our trees are all 
graft d on seedling stocks two years old before grafting, consequently 
ha ve g ood roots.

10 THE PLASTERS OF THE SOITH. 
T he Belleville Manufacturing Company would call your attention 
to the different styles oi GEORG’ A PLAINS, which they are 
now manufacturing for the coming season, believing they are better 
adapted to the wants of the South than any negro cloths manufactur- 
ed at any point north of the Potomac. They have been successfully 
supplying the orders of Planters in the interior and on the seaboard 
for a number of years, and have given satisfaction in every respect, 
so much so that none who have used them one season have failed to 
order them afterwards ; and the name has been considered so fair a 
guaranty of their quality that in many cases the Northern Manu- 
facturers have endeavored to imitate and pass off their fabrics as 
the genuine Georgia Plains. Having increased the capacity to 
produce these goods, we, therefore, desire to deal directly with the 
Planters, so they may get the genuine article for their negroes, which, 
for warmth and wear, will save them more than its cost in Doctor’s 
Bills. 
We are now making three styles, to wit; — The Heavy "White 
Twills at 40 cents per yard ; the Heavy White Plains, 32 cents per 
yard ; the Brown A Plains, 21 cents per yard. 
The goods delivered at the Agency in Augusta, Ga , and forward- 
ed free of charge for forwarding, and to be settled for on receipt of 
the goods, by orders on any responsible Factor or Commission Mer- 
chant, payable on the 1st Fenruary next. All orders will be put up 
in quantities as directed, in a bale or bales, and can be shipped from 
Augusta to any point South or West at as Iowa rate of freight as 
from any point. Planters who have no regular Factor, can give a 
reference, either in Augusta, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Mont- 
gomery or New Orleans or in such place as they are known, and if 
satisfactory, the order will be entered at once and the goods put up 
and forwarded at a? early a date thereafter as possible. 
^P”The highest market price will be given for WOOL, delivered 
in Augusta, in exchange for cloth. Address

GREESE^S PURE WHITE WHEAT. 
I HAVE a very superior kind of WHITE WHEAT that I will en- 
gage to those who may want to purchase for seed wheat of the 
next crop, to be delivered at the La Grange de'ot in good, strong 
sacks, containing not more than one bushel unless ordered, nor less 
than a t alf ; marked with the name of the purchaser and place of de- 
livery. This Wheat is of the very earliest and whitest kind. Sow any 
time in November, and cut by the 20th of May. It has been exhibit- 
ed at four different Fahs, and have obtained a premium in every in- 
stance. I have already made many engagements for the next sow- 
ing at five dollars per bushel. No Delivery no pay.

I.TIPORTAAT to PLAxVTtRS. 
T he Richmond Factory (Richmond c;)unty, Ga.,) continues to 
manufacture WOOLEN CLOTH, for Negro Clothing, at V1J4 
cents per yard — fincing every material except the wool. 
Those wishing to avail themselves of this opportunity to procure 
•for their Negroes a superior article of Winter Clothing, have only 
to wash the wool clean in cold water, and send it ter the factory, or 
to Messes. SCRANTON, SEYMOUR & Co., in Augusta, with instruc- 
tions as to the amount of Cloth they wish made — whether heavy or 
light. If the wool be dirty, half a cent per yard wi<l be charged for 
washing it. Burrs are not objectionable, as a machine is provided 
for removing them. 
Wool is also carded into Rolls, for those who make their Negro, or 
other Clothing at home. 
The terms now offered are se reasonable as to warrant a continu- 
ance of the liberal patronage heretofore extended by the planting 
community. 
The Wool should be sent as soon after shearing as convenient, with 
the name of the owner distinctly marked on the bag or bale, that 
all the patrons of the establishment may be accommodated indue 
time. 
Wool sent by any of the lines of Railroad, in Georgia, or South 
Carolina, or by steamboat on the River, directed to “Richmond 
Factory, care of Scraxtox, Seymour & Co.,’’ will meet due attention, 
and the Planter will always have his own tcooZ manufactured into 
Clo th an d returned to him. 
£^~The highest cash prices will be paid for WOOL.

FERTILIZERS. 
H itherto the Planters of the South have been dependent on the 
North for all the artificial fertilizers thej' have used The New 
Orleans Bone Black Company recently established in this city, with 
facilities for the manufacture of manures second to none in the United 
States, are prepared to fill orders for the following FERTILIZERS at 
the same prices charged in Baltimore and New York : 
GROUND BONES. — For fruit trees and grape vines these are par- 
ticularly beneficial. Five hundred pounds applied to an acre of ordin- 
ary pine woodland, aided by good, deep plowing, will produce a crop 
of Cotton as large as any of the best bottom lacds. It is ground both 
fine and coarse, and is put up in barrels. The coarse is l)^c per 
pound — the fine and sifted, l>^c. per pound. Its great durability in 
ihesoil renders it the cheapest manure in use. 
PHOSPHATED GUANO.— This valuable fertilizer, composed of 
equal parts of Peruvian Guano and fine Bone Dust, is, in every re- 
spect, superior and far more lasting than Guano used by itself. It is 
an established fact that Guano lacns Phosphate of Lime, and, also, 
that one half ofits fertilizing qualities are dissipated in the air, whieft 
is plainly to be perceived by the strong ammoniacal smell constant- 
ly emitted by it untill its strength is gone. 
Bone Dust is nothing more than Phosphate of L'me, and this, be- 
sides being a strong and valuable manure, fixes the Ammonia in the 
Guano and retains it until it is absorbed by the plants. A trial of this 
fertilizer will satisfy any one of its durability and superior efficacy to 
simple Guano. Three hundred pounds applied to the acre will show 
its effects for five years or more, by an annual increase of at least 10 
percent, in the crops. Put up in barrels of about 200 pounds each,, 
at 2 cents per pound. 
SUPER-PHOSPHATE OF LIME. — This highly concentrated ma- 
nure is composed of Animal Matter, Sulphuric Acid, Bone Dust, Gyp- 
sum and Sulphate of Iron, each of which, by itself, is a powerful fer- 
tilizer. 
Five hundred pounds, or about two barrels of this Super-Phosphate 
of Lime have been found to be fully equal, in beneficial effects, to 
thirty wagon loads of ordinary Stable Manure. 
The convenience of this article consists in its small bulk and con- 
sequent ease of handling. It may be used before or after planting of 
the crop. A tablespoonful put in each hil' of Corn or Cotton, has 
been known to increase the yield twenty per cent. Five hundred lbs. 
to an acre of common piney woods land having a clay subsoil, will en- 
able it to yield as good a crop as any ordinary bottom land. A 
single hundred pound applied aaa top-dressing to an acre of meadow 
land, will increase its products at least a ton -of hay. To Horticu- 
turists, it is invaluable, as it may be applied to Fn it Trees at any 
season of the year. More than two ttmusand bushels of Ruta Bags. 
Turnips have been raised to the acre, by the application of 200 lbs. 
of this fertilizer. For Garden crops, it is all that is necessary for 
suc-ess. 
The Super-Phosphate of Lime is put up in barrels containing about 
200 pounds, and is sold at 2 cents per pound. 
POUDRETTE. — Ttvo large establishments in New York, turning 
out over fifty thousand barrels annuall 3 ', are not able to supply the de- 
mand of the market gardeners in the vicinity of that city for this justly 
popular manure. It is composed of night soil, deodorized and made 
into a powder similar to Guano, and is put up in barrels at $2.50 per 
barrel. 
Orders by mail or otherwise, addressed to the subscriber, will re- 
ceive prompt attention. D C. LOWBER,

It gives me pleasure to state that Mr, Davy has solicited Mr. S. 
Howard, of the Cultivator, to collect pedigrees and illustra- 
tions in this country for the,3d volume, and has authorized Mr. H. 
to obtain information as to any and all mistakes which may have 
been made as to thellecording of American Animals in Davy’s 2d 
volume, and such corrections will be made in the 3d volume. The 
plan proposed is that a copy of all the pedigrees and illustrations col- 
lected by Mr.'H., as the Editor in America, shall be forwarded to Mr. 
Davy, and a copy of those collected by Mr. D. will be sent to Mr. 
Howard in this country. The whole matter will be published in 
America for our use, and in England for their use, by which means 
an American and English Devon Herd Book will be united, and the 
price reasonable, as the expense of English printing and duties will 
be saved. This concert of action has been brought about by Mr» 
Davy’s good feeling and liberality towards this country, and I am 
only the instrument through which Mr. Davy acts, and from this 
time forth Mr. Howard will receive all commrmications on the sub- 
ject, as will appear by reference to his advertisement. 
^^All Editors who will give the above three insertions will re- 
ceive a copy of the let, 2d and 3d volumes.
