Belleville III., Dec. /j, /S?s. 



J. M. Thorburn & Co.: 



Gentlemen— -F rom the two barrels of Carman No. 3 I bought of you 

 last spring, I dug 512 bushels of as fine, smooth, even-sized potatot-s as 

 ever grew. There were not small ones enough to count the bushels. Don't 

 you think. I have broken the record of regular field culture ? 



Yours truly, D. F. MILLER.
