SUTTON'S LARGE YELLOW GLOBE MAN 



WU 



This is a superior stock of Mangold Wurzel raised from selected, large, finelv-formed bnlbs ; it is more solid than other kind? 

 and perfectly hardy, not requiring to be stored or clamped in the winter. W. D Briginshaw, 2 ., of To plow, near Maidenhead, who 

 ffrew some of Otis kind from our Seed last season, has written to the Editor of the AGRicri/rntAL Gazette, on 23d March last, statin* that 

 the Mangold he raised J rom. Messrs. Sutton's seed, and which has been standing in an open field, v> ere it was sown a* the bsqinnina of last 

 slay, is as sound and as good as it was in the autumn. We have also received an order from a gentleman in the same neighbourhood 

 who states that his Mangold, grown in a field near Mr. Briginsliaw's, but not from our seed, is nearlv all rotten.

■ One ot the fields of this farm, the property of Mrs. Stan-bury, 

 was planted with Regents Potatoes in April last, some of which 

 were prepared by you. The result now is, that the whole of ? lie 

 crop from the unprepared sets is thoroughly diseased, and hardly 

 worth the trouble of taking np ; while those raised by the side of 

 them from the prepared sets are not only in a beautiful state of 

 preservation from the disease, but tbe produce is much greater,— 

 the Potatoes are more numerous than the others; indeed, if there 

 were «o such thing as the disease to be feared, it would be worth 

 the trouble and expense of preparing the sets bv your process, 

 even for the sake of the improved crops. I shall certainly, for 

 the future, prepare all my Potatoes for seed by your process ; and 

 I intend to adopt it for preserving my Wheat from the Smut. 



« « , . -^ „, , " G. B. Baxter. 



Belmont Farm, Eltham, Kent, August 28, 1854." 



" Admiral Sir J. A. Gordon, K.C.B., Marlee House, T-Iairgowrie. 

 44 Sir,— I have received your note of the 16th. The 1 atoes 

 that came here from England, prepared by Mr. Jackson. 

 were planted in a piece of new ground, and according to the 

 directions sent by him along with them as to distance between 

 the plants, &c. They came up well, with strong healthy ms; 



we have now taken the whole crop up, and there is not the 



slightest appearance of any disease amongst them. They are of 

 large equal size and very prolific. There were long black unpre- 

 pared Kidneys planted in the same patch, and a great deal of 

 them are not fit for v^q, at least a third part are diseased. I 

 hope Mr. Jackson's process may be widely known, as it is a 

 great boon. — I am, &c. t Jons Shanks, 



u Forester, Kildrummy Castle. 

 " Kildrummy Castle, Aberdeenshire, November 17, 1854." 



" I am very much pleased with the result of the experiments I 

 have made with your Prepared Potatoes; for I planted themi 

 without any manure, in ground where for several years I hav 

 hardly had a sound Potato, and I now find the crop perfectly tre 

 from d md in a very tine condition; while those of th 



same sort, unprepared, which were planted at the same time, an 

 next to them, are diseased and eaten by worms. 



"The P itoes from the Prepared Seed were so remarkably 

 good that I was induced to weigh them, and I found, to my great 



: tomshmenr, that they were as 200 to 150 of the others, or about 

 2 j per cent, in favour of your preparation.
