Cabbage Plant Growing*. As thous¬ 
ands of our patrons know, we have been 
very successful in growing first class 
healthy cabbage plants, and have so great 
a trade in them that no less than four acres 
of land will be occupied by our plant beds 
this season. We are continually in receipt 
of orders for plants from very long dis 
tances, much farther than ii is profitable to 
ship them. Believing that we can instruct 
local agents in various sections to success¬ 
fully grow and profitably sell these plants, 
we made an offer in the March number 
■which nearly Four Hundred persons have 
accepted, and in this number we give a list 
of the names and post office address of such 
for two purposes. First, that parties in 
want of plants which have been properly 
growm from good seeds may select a grow¬ 
er within easy shipping distance to get 
them of. Second, that persons who think 
themselves well situated to go into the busi¬ 
ness of plant growing may see whether 
their own territory is yet covered, and in 
case of any doubt as to whether we really 
send full value for the Five Dollars re¬ 
quired, may write to as many of those 
already enrolled as they please and get 
their advice before investing themselves. 
Additional names are still being added to 
our list of Plant Agents every day, and 
choice locations are being daily secured. 
It is now late to commence and expect to 
do much at the business this season, but 
none too early to secure your town and 
begin to get ready to push business next 
season. We therefore vary our original 
offer and will continue to enroll suitable 
parties throughout the season on following 
terms: 
On receipt of Five Dollars we will send 
to the first applicant from any town not pre¬ 
viously taken, the following agent’s outfit; 
One Instruction Book with Secrets of Success 
worth.$5.00 
100 Handsome Illustrated Handbills, worth 2.00 
One Cash Certificate good for Cabbage Seeds 
to be selected from our list whenever wanted, 
to the amount of Five Dollars at catalogue rates, 5.00 
One Certificate of agency entitling the holder to 
sell our seeds and plants and take subscriptions to 
Seed.Time and Harvest on a liberal percentage. 
The Instruction Books and Certificates 
wijf be sent at once on receipt of the order. 
The Seeds and Posters whenever wanted. 
The list given elsewhere will show at a 
glance whether our outfit will be worth the 
money to you or not. 
Few papers are more discriminating 
in regard to the character of the advertise¬ 
ments inserted in its columns than Seed- 
Time and Harvest. The fact that an 
advertisement appears in our columns may 
be accepted as evidence that we believe the 
advertiser reliable, and would ourselves 
send money to him if we needed what he 
offers. In writing to any of our adver¬ 
tisers, it will be doing us a favor if you say 
you “saw the notice in Seed-Time and 
Harvest.” 
A Seedman’s Directory. We have in pre¬ 
paration the compilation of a directory of American 
Seedsmen. We earnestly request that our custom¬ 
ers who live in or near large towns in v r hich there 
are one or more seed houses located, drop us a card 
giving the name and address of such firms which 
they may be acquainted with. We probably have 
all those who do a general business throughout the 
Union, but lack many who only aim to do a local 
business.
