REMOVAL. 
In consequence of our rapidly increasing business, and 
■want of room in our present locality, we are compelled to 
seek more extensive accommodations, and arc nappy to 
announce to our friends and patrons that we have leased 
the large and beautiful Stores, 
Nos. 23 Parlt Place and 20 Murray Street, 
a few doors west of Broadway, opposite the new Post-office 
Building, which are now being fitted up in a most conven¬ 
ient manner, to accommodate the various branches of our 
business, and will be ready for our occupation about the 
1st of* *1 sine. 
In connection with our Trade in Seeds, and Requisites 
for the Farm and Garden, we propose to establish a Perpet¬ 
ual Exhibition of the various Products of the Soil, and 
would inform all interested in the cultivation of 
Fruits, Flowers, Plants, Vegetables, 
OR GRAIN OP ANY KIND, 
who have choice specimens that they wish to exhibit, that 
they will here have an opportunity of so doing free of charge. 
Strangers visiting the City are invited to call at our estab¬ 
lishment, whether purchasers or not, as we intend to make 
our EXHIBITION TABLES one of the attractions 
of rhe Metropolis. 
A Prize Exhibition of Strawberries will be held about 
the middle of June. Schedules of Prizes can be had upon 
application. 
We take the present opportunity to thank our many 
friends and patrons, both old and new, for their liberal 
patronage since our removal to this City, and hope to be 
favored with a continuance of the same.

New Sweet Potato. 
Southern. Queen. 
A year’s trial, of this superior variety introduced by us last 
season, confirms ail that we then claimed for it. 
Dr. Thurber, Editor of the American Agriculturist, thus 
speaks of it in the Horticultural Annual for 1870: “The 
root is very large, longer than the Nansemond. of a very 
light color, and is said to keep remarkably well. The vine 
is x vigorous grower, and the leaves larger and darker col¬ 
ored than the Nansemond. From n single trial of this potato 
we are inclined to place a high estimate upon its produc¬ 
tiveness and good quality.” 
We offer for sale a limited number of plants at $2/0 per 
100; $8.0) per 500; $15.00 per 1,000. No orders will be ac¬

TIN-LINED LEAD PIPE. 
TI IS PI BE is lined to one-quarter its 
thickness w ith pure Block Tin ; a metal 
closely resembling silver both in color 
and purity. No water, however pure, 
acts on It. Chemists distil water in Tin 
retorts to secure a pure article. Dentists 
use it for filling teeth. All our cooking 
utensils arc coated with it. Fnjits and 
vegetables are preserved in tin can*. 
Lead is never used for such purposes, 
owing to its poisonous quality. Why. 
then, use it for water-pipes, when a strong, safe, economical 
substitute is presented ? In ordering or making inquiries 
for price, send bore of pipe required and head or pressure of 
water. Circulars and sample of pipe sent by mail free.
