Mr.. CAMAK:-By this mail | forward
you sample of Nankin Cotton in news
paper, which grew from seed | imported
last year from Malta. The staple is finer
and larger than the Malta cotton, as com
pared with some unginned cotton with the
imported seed. planted this cotton on a
plantation where no other cotton grew,
and ginned it in gin where no other was
ginned, thus keeping it from being injured
by mixing with other cotton. 1t grew
finely and was free from the rot which
generally proves very destructive TO our
common Nankin.


/ have a few hundred bushels of the
seed for sale, at two dollars per bushel.
The seed imported cost me more than
double that price. They can be forwarded
to Columbus or ApaIachicoIa by steam
boats, &c. | have an order for some of the
seed from gentleman in South Carlina,
which will be shipped to Charleston via
ApaIachcola. Should yen think the pa
irons of the Southern CultiUator would
wish to procure any Of the seed, vou can
give such notice in that periodical as you
may deem proper.


Yours, very respectfully,
