THE PLANT AGENCY BUSINESS. 
Riverside, Pa., May 27, 1884. 
Mr. Tillinghast; Dear Sir,—I see by the May 
Number of Seed-Time and Harvest that you 
have no agent at this place. I think that I am 
in a position to be of as much service, if not 
more than any one else in this section, being the 
largest market gardener. I am young m years 
but rather old in experience, as my father was a 
market gardener before me. We have raised 
quite a number of plants this season, but as we 
plant largely ourselves, we hadn’t enough extra 
to supply the local demand made upon us. By a 
little advertising, &c., we could establish a nice 
little trade in plants and seeds I think. We put 
some eight hundred feet under glass this spring. 
We sowed it in February with your Early Wake¬ 
field cabbage seed, and the result is, we have 
some very fine cabbage growing, which we ex¬ 
pect to get a good price for. Your seed has given 
such good satisfaction that I think I shall buy 
nearly all my seed of you another year, as I have 
received some pretty poor seed from some parties 
this season. I would like to act as agent for you 
in this place, as I think we would be mutually 
benefited, but don’t feel like accepting your offer 
in May number, the reason is this. I have all 
the cabbage seed I shall need this season, and 
our expenses have been very heavy this spring. 
Therefore it behooves us to invest every five 
dollars so it brings in something this season. If 
you will make your cash certificate good for 
other than cabbage seeds you may enroll me as 
your agent. Respectfully Yours, 
Abner Pitner. 
Answer: We will cheerfully enroll your 
name on our Plant Agents’ List at once and send 
full instructions and certificate of agency. Then 
you may order the seeds at your pleasure at 
agent’s rates as per terms in our instruction book. 
We would gladly place such a man as we judge 
you to be, in every town in the Union where we 
have none appointed. The Five Dollar Require¬ 
ment was not made so much to get a five-dollar 
bill in our hands as it was to ensure our getting 
the best man from each place—some one who is 
enough interested in the project to invest a little 
in it. We think our four hundred agents are 
every one better pleased with our plan of putting 
this business in the hands of one good man in 
each town, than they would be to have us send 
our instructions freely to every one who applies, 
and whenever we can be made to feel that we 
have found the right man for a certain section, 
we will gladly enroll him. To prove that he is 
interested and means business at least One Dol¬ 
lar should be sent with the application to cover 
cost of the books, &c., which we send.
