TEA COMPANY 
Receive their Teas by the Cargo from the 
best Tea districts of China and Japan, and 
sell them in quantities to suit customers 
.A.T CARGO PRICES. 
to save the expense of collections by Express, but larger or¬ 
ders we will forward by express, "to collect on delivery." 
Hereafter we will send a complimentary package to the 
party getting up the club. Our profits are small, but we 
will be as liberal as we can afford. We send no compli¬ 
mentary packages for clubs of less than $30. 
Parties getting their Teas of us may confidently rely upon 
getting them pure and fresh, as they come direct from the 
Custom House stores to our warehouses. 
We warrant all the goods we sell to give entire satisfac¬ 
tion. If they are not satisfactory, they can be returned at 
our expense within thirty days, and have the money re¬ 
funded. 
N. B.—Inhabitants of villages and towns where a large 
number reside, by clubbing together, can reduce the 
cost of their Teas and Coffees about one-third, (be¬ 
sides the Express charges) by sending directly to 
“ The Great American Tea Company .” 
BEWARE of all concerns that advertise themselves as 
branches of our Establishment, or copy our name 
either wholly or in part, as they are bogus or imita¬ 
tions. We do not, in any case, authorize the use of 
our name. 
POST-OFFICE orders and Drafts, make payable to the 
order of “ The Great American Tea Company .”

Gentlemen .-—Business, and a want of opportunity, have 
for the last eight months prevented me sending, or rather 
attending to our monthly club, whose orders I sent you 
regularly for about a year previous. Since that time many 
Indeed have been the solicitations by many of the members, 
that I should once again commence and send club orders— 
for, as some declared, they had got no Tea, no matter what 
the price paid, since I quit sending the club orders. I have, 
therefore, at the urgent request of a few, resolved to send 
you a small order monthly, and as 
the following:

tetter send a Post-office draft or money with their orders, 
Our Vines and Plants are in great demand, and give gen¬ 
eral satisfaction, because they are grown on the right kind 
of soil with the greatest care, and so handled as to insure 
their well doing. 
We guarantee our prices to be as low as a genuine article 
of the same quality can be had anywhere. 
More failures in Small Fruit culture arise from the plant¬ 
ing of inferior stock, because it is low-priced, than from any- 
otlier cause. 
See our Descriptive and Illustrated Catalogue and 
Price List for spring of 1S70, for which send 10 cents.

JIJCUNDA—Our Mo. 7m 
Strawberry, 
is greatly the most valuable variety we grow. The New 
York Tribune says that while hundreds of bushels of other 
kinds were being thrown into the Docks in that city, our 
berries of this variety were selling on Broadway, for 50 cts. 
per quart, after a carriage of 400 miles. 
Plant tiie best and secure the genuine. 
We offer plants this season as follows: 
50 cts. per doz.; $3 per 100; $5 per 200, by mail. $20 per 
1,000; $50 per $3,000; $75 per $5,000; $100 per 8,000. 
Our collection of Strawberries includes all desirable kinds, 
which we offer at low rates. See Price List.

HORSFORD’S SELF-RAISING BREAD 
PREPARATION 
Makes the most wholesome and best of bread, biscuit, 
cakes, &c. Unlike some other yeast.lt contains no POISON 
to create DYSPEPSIA, and the bread may therefore be 
eaten hot without detriment. Resolving itself into Phos¬ 
phate of Lime and soda, it prevents RICKETS, CHOLERA, 
and decay of TEETH, and promotes tiie growth of Muscle 
and Bone. In “ raising ” the dough it does not, like other 
yeast, decompose the flour, hut adds nutriment to tiie bread, 
and otherwise improves it in quality and quantity. Eacli 
package contains full directions for use. Send for pam- 
S hlet, supplied gratis. Ask your Grocer for -‘ Horsford's 
read Preparation.” WILSON, LOCKWOOD, EVERETT
