To Flax Growers. 
T HE subscriber has invented and builds to order, a FLAX 
MACHINE, which, attended by two hands, is guaran¬ 
teed to dress from three hundred to four hundred and fifty 
pounds of flax per day. The saving in labor and tow, by 
comparison, is considered equivalent to the cost of dressing 
flax by the best common machinery, used in this country' 
and Europe. The new machine is made with care, to se¬ 
cure strength and durability, and can be run at a speed which 
requires more than two hands to attend it. Unrotted flax 
straw can be dressed by it. It can be driven by horse power 
or otherwise; and, being portable, can be sent any distance. 
Fpr the present, the price of the machine complete, is $400. 
Those who wish to obtain it in season to begin operations 
next autumn, will do well to apply soon.

Mexican Wild Potatoes. 
T HE subscribers have the pleasure of informing their 
friends and the public, that they have received a small 
lot of tfie above remarkable Potatoes, which they offer for 
sale at $4 per bushel, or $1 per peek 
These potatoes were originally brought from Mexico, 
(where they were found growing wild,) about five years ago, 
and were planted in the western pgrt of this State, where 
their size, productiveness, hardiness and total exemption from 
rot, attracted- the attention of the intelligent farmers of that 
region, causing the demand for them last season to be so 
great, that they readily sold at $10 per bushel. They ripen 
early, and are frequently six or seven inches in length; skin 
very thin, white; eyes shallow; and flesh white, boiling very 
mealy. They are also very productive, one hundred bushels 
having been, under proper management, raised from two 
bushels of seed potatoes. 
We also have on hand,. Wall’s Early June, FIxcelsior, 
Carters, Early Kidney, Bennett’s Early, Early Sovereigns, 
American Flower Balls, and other choice varieties.
