cards put out on the eve of the planting season. We will have each cargo analyzed be
fore it receives onr brand, or is offered to the public, aud we publish the report of the

We have been enabled to avoid the; mistakes tnat the inexperience ot ine uuananam

for salaries, &c. paid by tbem, and with one Of our . firm on 'he Island, and one of tbe
