TESTIMONIALS. 



From PROFESSOR M'ALPINE, Botanist to Highland and Agricultural Society. 



\st January 1889. 



The Seed Germinator which you have made for me suits the purpose perfectly. 

 It is the best form of apparatus that I know, and meets all requirements. The 

 ventilation is so satisfactory that it is almost impossible for fungus to grow in the 

 case. I have now discarded all other Seed Germinators, and use only this one, 

 which I can confidently recommend. A. N. M'ALPINE. 



From Messrs BELL & BIEBERSTEDT, Wholesale Seed Merchants, Leith. 

 DEAR SIR, We have had the Seed Germinator which you supplied to us in 

 constant use for some time, with the most satisfactory results. 



The difficulty of getting an air current in the Tester is overcome, so that there is 

 no growth of fungus to interfere with the germination of the seeds being tested, the 

 mportance of which is obvious. 



At all points the working of the Tester is admirable, and we can confidently 

 recommend it as the best apparatus of the kind we have ever seen. Yours truly, 



BELL & BIEBERSTEDT. 

 From Messrs R. CARMICHAEL & SONS, Seedsmen, Coldstream.

DEAR SIR, The Germinator we had from you does its work admirably. The 

 variations of temperature are very slight ; the ventilation seems perfect : it requires 

 very little attention ; and is altogether the best apparatus for the purpose that we 

 have tried or seen. Yours truly, R. CARMICHAEL & SONS. 



From Messrs CROSS & DONALDSON, Seed Merchants, Edinburgh and Belfast. 



Mr Duncan M'Laren. 



DEAR SIR, The Seed Tester supplied to us is more perfect in its arrangements 

 than any we have yet seen. 



The principle of ventilation has received special attention, and the result is 

 satisfactory, the fresh air admitted below producing that moist atmosphere which is 

 most conducing to ventilation. 



We are sure any one using your Tester will have great satisfaction with it. Yours 

 truly, CROSS & DONALDSON. 



From Messrs ROUGHEAD & PARK, Seed Merchants, Haddington. 



Haddington, -2nd January 1890. 

 Mr Duncan M'Laren. 



DEAR SIR, We have much pleasure in testifying to the success of the Seed 

 Germinator you supplied to us. 



In many appliances of this kind we have found fungus to be a source; of great 

 annoyance, but the system of ventilation adopted by you has quite removed all trace 

 of this, and the results we now obtain are entirely satisfactory. 



We think every one using this Tester will acknowledge that you are entitled to 

 their thanks for your endeavours to perfect an apparatus which is of so much 

 importance to agriculturists and the seed trade generally. We are, yours faithfully, 



ROUGHEAD & PARK.
