We have received letter from Mr.. Newbill
Puckett, at Lynesville, Granville county. North
Carolina, from which we do not hesitate to make
the following extract: g I have procured the seed
.ofsthe Chinese Tea, so much used in America.
1t is genuine, natures perfectly we'll in our climate
and can be raised in abundance, with very lille
trouble. The vast amount of money that must be
laid out for tea every year, induces me to address
you at this time. My wish Is to put it in circula-
ton, through the medium of some newspaper in
Virginia" Mr. P. then goes on to say, that
stock of seed will be delivered to subscribers next
Fall or Winter at 8 5, if sent personally to them


if by mail, at their own risk and expense, So He
asks US 10 act as his agents in procuring subscri'
bers, &c. We beg leave, respectfully, to decline
his proposition. It is not exactly ia cur line but
we would refer him to our neighbor Bolts, Of the
Southern Planter, who will do full justice 10 his
novel experiment, which mag be very feasible
On that point, we,arc not farmers or gardeners e.
nough to Judge. We take great pleasure in bring
ing the subject before the Virginia public, and
hope that fair experiment VIII be made If it
succeed, it will have an important bearing on the
question of our trade with China, which is so
strongl y presented by "AgricoIa" The Chipese
Mulberry was unfortunate; perhaps the Chinese
Tea may be cultivated with more profit,
