how to proceed from the selection and 
preparation of the ground, through all the 
difficulties of insect enemies, cultivation, 
faking up and selling, shipping or keeping

maggot; How to avoid club root; How to

make the plants grow healthy and stocky, 
with plenty of fibrous roots; How to take 
them up ; How to keep them on hand; How 
to pack them [for shipping; How to sell 
them, &c. In fact we will do all we. can to 
help our agents, and to have them succeed, 
for we want them to succeed, as we want 
to sell them seeds from year to year. We 
will also send each agent 100 printed post¬ 
ers or hand-bills, with agent’s name and 
place of residence printed in, to be used by 
them in advertising and selling the plants. 
We will also send 14 lh. of Cabbage seeds, 
of five leading varieties most in demand, 
and 4 ounces of Celery seed. The above seed 
will produce 45,000 Cabbage and 10,000 
Celery Plants.

WHAT WE REQUIRE OF THE AGENT. 
That he or she shall send us $5.00 to cov¬ 
er cost of the seeds and printed matter fur¬ 
nished. That they shall promise not to 
reveal to others the ‘‘Secrets” and Private 
Instructions received from us. That they 
will go about it in a business-like way and j 
try to build up a plant trade. That they i 
will post up the hand-bills in public places, ! 
as Post Offices. Stores. Mills, Blacksmith 1 
.Shops, &c. And that they will, to the best 
of their ability follow instructions. That 
at the end of the plant season they will re¬ 
port results to us. 
Should any person want to commence on 
a larger scale, we will send as many addi¬ 
tional seeds as he may desire at agents' re¬ 
duced prices, but no discount will be allow¬ 
ed on first $5.00 order. If you wish to avail 
yourself of this chance, send at once 
without delay, as the first applicant from 
your town gets it. Don’t write to us to 
know if it is already taken, you would lose 
time. If you have not the money, borrow 
it of some friend, and we will give you a 
chance to earn it by getting up a club for 
Seed-Time and Harvest, and thus soon 
paying it back. The seed sent, alone, is 
worth over $6.00, and the “Secrets” and 
“Instructions” are worth many times the 
price asked for all. 
The outfi t will set you up in business, and 
teach you how to succeed and extend a 
pleasant profitable trade year by year, and 
we will make you onr agent in your town 
for the sale of our seeds, and to take sub¬ 
scriptions for our magazine, all of which 
will pay you well. 
The ground on which you raise the plants 
can be used again i he same season for some 
late crop such as cabbage, celery or turnips. 
You will reap the reward of your labor 
early in the season, in June and July, only 
about eight weeks from the time yon sow 
the seed. You will be surprised at the de¬ 
mand you will have for the plants. Farm¬ 
ers and gardeners will be glad to get them 
at your own price. You can tie them up 
in bundles of 25 or 50, and put them in the 
village stores or city markets for sale, and 
thus find a market for many thousands. 
This presents a good chance for women 
and children to make money easily. Our 
instructions make all so plain and simple, 
that any one, able and willing to work in 
the garden, can make money. 
At 25 cents per hundred for the cabbage 
plants and 50 cents per hundred for the cel¬ 
ery plants, the seed we send can be made 
to sell for over $150. And this can be 
greatly increased by our liberal commission 
to agents on seeds sold, and subscriptions 
sent. 
After carefully considering the above 
offers, if you do not think you can avail 
yourself of this opportunity, will you please 
do us the favor and them the kindness to 
call the attention of some person, who you 
think might be benefittedby it, to this offer. 
All money should be sent in registered 
letter or by P. O. Money Order to 
Isaac F. Tilling hast.
