Genuine Tree Cotton Seed. 
A limited quantity of the above seed can now be obtained* 
if applied for soon, of 
EDWARD TATNA1LE, Jr., 
Brandywine Nurseries , Wilmington , Delaware. 
This seed was procured at considerable expense by Wil¬ 
liam Ferris, of the above city, from the mountain regions of 
South America, having been conveyed thence by mule, 
“seven days journey,” to Guayaquil, where this gentleman 
resided nearly three years, and made himself acquainted with 
the fact that this cotton thrives, and is cultivated on the ele¬ 
vated lauds of the Andes, of which it is a native. His object 
was to introduce it into our Northern and Western States, 
believing if it would stand their climate (and where it now 
grows, It is frequently covered with snow and ice) it -would 
prove a source of great interest and profit to the people of 
those States. 
As seed represented to be that of the tree cotton has been 
palmed oil’on the public during the past year, this is wae- 
raxted to be the genuine article, ana will be forwarded by 
mail, free of postage, at the following rates remitted in cur¬ 
rent funds with the order: 
25 for $1.00; 60 for $2.00; 110 for $3.00 ; 200 for $5.00 ; 500 for 
$ 10 . 00 .
