Mr. Fuller grows for us in his nursery and sends to each 
of our full-paying Weekly and Semi-Weekly subscribers 
who request it, such 
New and Valuable Plants 
ns they may desire from the list below. The many thousands 
of these which we sent out last fall and spring have given 
such gratifying satisfaction, that we have grown for 
This Fall and Nest Spring’s Distribution

to send out. Among these are 
150 ©f the Choicest Varieties of Potatoes. 
Some of them cost us last spring no loss than fifty dollars

of Weekly for one year, and 25 named varieties of pota¬ 
toes, including the newest and most costly kinds. For fifty 
dollars, 50 copies and 50 varieties. For one hundred dollars, 
103 copies, and 100 varieties. These potatoes will be all 
labelled, carefully packed, and sent free, by mail or express. 
Of some kinds (the most costly) but one tuber will bo given, 
of others more, and of otliei‘3 as many as one pound. A 
proportion of Semi-Weeklies may be included in any of 
the above or following club3, at $2 a year, where desired.

SEWING MACHINES, 
BUCKEYE MOWING MACHINES 
PARLOR ORGANS, 
AND OTHER PREMIUMS. 
A CHANCE FDR EVERYBODY. 
Those who desire to get up Clubs for The Sun will be 
furnished free, on application, with specimens, posters, and 
prospectuses. To all full paying subscribers, for Weekly or 
Semi- Weekly,whether singly or in Clubs, the vines and plants 
will be sent where desired, as above; while as an inducement 
to GET UP CLUBS, we make the following liberal offers in 
addition, a Semi-Weekly subscription counting as one for 
plants and two for premiums : 
For Clubs of Twenty-live, with $25 wewill send 
the getter-up A UNIVERSAL CLOTHES WRINGER, No. 
1)4, large family size, witli rubber rollers and alternating 
cog wheels, worth $10, from It. C. Browning’s, 82 Cortlandt 
St. We have had one of these ten years in constant use in 
our family without repair. 
For Clubs of Tlilrty-fivc we will send DOTY’S 
famous CLOTHES WASHER, family size, price $14; uni¬ 
versally acknowledged tlic best in tlic market, from the 
same house. 
For Clubs of Fifty, we will send both the WRINGER 
and CLOTHES WASHER. 
For Clubs of One Hundred, we will send a first- 
class SINGER’S FAMILY SEWING MACHINE, of tlic new 
and popular make, on ornamental iron stand, black walnut 
table, with drawer (oiled), price $00. Tills machine lias a 
lienuncr and braider, and is adapted for all kinds of work. 
It i3 unquestionably one of tlie very best in tlie market. 
For Clubs of One Hundred and Fifty with 
§150, we will send one of E. P. NEEDHAM & SON’S 
celebrated silver-tongued Parlor Organs, open register, four 
octaves; one set of reeds, with combination swell; oil fin¬ 
ished black walnut ease, with paneled front and brackets, 
and carpeted double-blowing pedals. Price $S0.

one of the celebrated BUCKEYE MOWING MACHINES, 
complete, No. 2,4 feet 1 inch cut, price $125, from the famous 
manufactory of Adrianee, Platt & Co., of t’liis city. 
We believe these valuable premiums will prove an in¬ 
centive to many persons who have tho requisite leisure to 
turn it to profitable account. No household should be with¬ 
out a Clothes Whinger or Washer. Many rural churches 
and Sunday schools need an Organ. A little effort among 
tlie members may secure one. Thousands of soldiers’ 
widows-and other women in humble circumstances would 
be enriched by a Sewing Machine. Lots of young farm¬ 
ers, and old ones too, would find a Mowing Machine in¬ 
valuable ; a splendid Chickering Piano would be a fortuno 
to many young ladies of musical tastes; while a full paid up 
Life Insurance Policy of $1,000, in one of the best Com¬ 
panies in the Union, would be an invaluable provision for 
wife and children or others dependent upon the life of tlio 
assured. Any church congregation, by clubbing together, 
might secure one of these policies for their clergyman. A 
more acceptable Christmas present could not be offered him. 
When we add to these extraordinary inducements tlie plants 
and vines which go to eacli subscriber in addition to their 
sprightly and interesting Weekly or Semi-Weekly Sun, 
who will dare gainsay that we “shine for all,” or dispute 
that our paper is not only the brightest and most readable, 
but tlie cheapest and most useful in the United States ? 
How to Seid Yeur Money. 
Cur friends, in sending in their subscriptions, will do well

edition, will receive an extra copy for their kindness.
