Wholesaling Teas In this Country
They have introduce l their selections of Tens. and
are acting them at not over Two Cents (.02 Cents)
per pound above Cost, never deviating from the ONE
PR ICE asked.
Another peculiarity of the company is that. their
TEA TAsmit not only devotes his time to the selec
lion of their Teas as to quality, value, and particu
lar styles for particular localities of country. hut he
helps the TEA buyer to choose out of their enormous
stock such TEAS as are best adapted to his peculiar
wants, and not only this. but points out to him the
best bargains. It is easy to see the incalculable ad
vantage a TEA BUYER has in this establishment. over
all others. If he is no judge at TEA, or the MARKET,
if his lime is valuable, he has all the benefits of a well
organized system of doing business. of an immense
capital, of the judgment of a professional Tea:Thster,
and the knowledge of superior salesmen.
This enables a‘l Tea buyers—no matter if they
are thousands of miles froth this market—to pur
chase on as good terms here as the New York mer
chants
Parties can order Tens and will he served by Ile
as well ns though they came themselites, being sure
to get original packages. true weights and tares;
and the Teas are warranted nerepresented.
We issue a Price I.ist of the Company'a Tens,
which will be sent to all who order it ; comprising

are determined to undersell the whole Tea trade.
We guarantee to sell all our Teas at. not over

Our first visit. was to William D. Wilson, Franklin
township, Gloucester county, who purchased some
eight miles north of about three year 31 po i
for the purpose of establishing a steam mill, to mak
up the timber into lumber, to send off by the noo
tailroad, as well as. the firewood and coal, fur %lo c h

also furnished sixteen miles of the road with

his main ohject was to open a farm, having berm:
convinced that the soil witervaluable for tultivonoL.
In this he has not heen disappointed:- as sonic of his
crops prove. For inspince. last year, the SPCOII4
time or cropping. ;hit; bushels of potatoes on one
acre, worth tilt cents a bushel in the field. This yest
seven acres, without suture, produced 55-fi hu.sheld
of oats. In' one 'field, the first crop Was potatoes,
planted among the roots, and yielded 75 bushels.—
'ihe potatoes,were dug, and Wheat sown; and yield.
ed 16 bushels,; and - the itfibble turned under and
sown to buckwheat, whiCh yielded fs`in bushels;
and then theground was sown to clover and timothy,
gave as a first crop 24 tons per acre.
The fen inters applied, to these crops were first,
ashes front clearings; second, 225 pounds of super ,
phoSphate of lime; third, 200 pounds Peruvian pi ,
ano ; then 50 bushels of slaked lime has been sum:
upon the. closer since it was snowed, and turned in
for Wheat.
Mr. Wilson's growing crops. sad the wheat stub
ble of the present season, all indicate his land re
productive as any part of the State.
At, Mary Barrow's, an old style ey WORM:.
fainter, several mileS south of Mr. Nils n . s, we were
-so particularly struck with the fine appearance of
field of corn, that we stopped to inquire of the hiisid
man how it Was produced. We 'found that the hunt
had been the year hot one before in wheat. soil:
with clover, and this cut one season, and las , spring
plowed once, with one "poor old nag," and p:aui. i
with corn.
`'Yes, but you manured high. we sareposer as

satisfied that the eoirwas ntit . :fertile, even unaidei
by Clover,. which bad fed the corn, because he "truck

Our next visit 'wint to ibi'lerge farm of Andrew

mile east of the tialrepall.,*and just. about in the cen

three years. he has got ''2B4 acres cleared and in

several fields. with Cedar rail or pole fence: list

a.smullem house for term laborers. and a stable ked
granary and sonic other out buildings.
Considerable part of the land was cleared for the
plow,at $0 an acre; and on some of it the first cur
was buekwheat, limed with 50 bushels in powder
per:acre. This crop May he put in. July 4th to 20th,

wheat without harrowing. looking.as well as we e 4 v,r
saw it upon any old et:titivated farm, arid with a lit
tle work done in the winter to clear off some rote
and rotten slumps, anJ setting stakes to mark per
nittneut ones, he will be able to cut the crop the nee '
year with a mowing machine, cad we will guarenne
two tons per acre, if he wild give the overpluz if it 'we'
runs the estimate:
Part of the land was plaided with potatoes for
first crop, which yielded 120 bushels per acre. it
was then limed with 50 bushels per acre. and steeled!
with wheat and clover, yielded and average of ova
15 bushels per acre, and the clover now looks beau
tiful.
Other portions have been planted with corn
first crup..which yielded 30 bushels of yellow °-!a 7
corn. and the second crop 40 bushels, and the
crop, treated to 1501bs. of guano, we are sure 1 10
ohe would estimate below 40 bushels per acre.
