SEED-TIME AUD HABVEST. 
OUR CABBAGE PLANT ANNOUNCEMENT. 
Season of 1884. 
CABBAGE PLANTS NOW READY! 
From P. S. Seed. The Best in the World! 
-: 0 :- 
In 1873 Mr. A. G. Tillinghast, a brother of the undersigned, crossed the continent 
and staid for five years on Puget Sound, in Washington Territory, during which time 
he grew and sent home several hundred pounds of Cabbage Seeds, which were used bj 
us for growing plants, 
The universal testimony of those who used these plants between 1874 and 1880, is 
that they produced far better Cabbages than any which they ever grew before or since. 
In the fall of 1882, Mr. Tillinghast returned to the Puget Sound country for the purpose 
of growing more of this famous Cabbage Seed, and our crop of plants this season is 
almost exclusively from these seeds. 
I am pleased to announce that I have this season sowed a large quantity of “P S” 
Cabbage Seeds, (the best in the world) on new land which never has had a load of rank 
stable manure, and upon which was never before grown a cabbage or a turnip, or any 
plant of the brassica family, and as a result I have several acres of, I believe, as nice and 
healthy cabbage plants as ever grew anywhere. The only fertilizer used was unleached 
hard-wood ashes which former experience has shown me will produce healthier plants 
than can be obtained with any other fertilizer. My faith in such an action is so strong 
that I imported a car-load of these ashes from Canada at heavy expense for the purpose. 
With such treatment the plants have grown slow enough to become stocky and well- 
rooted, and will be hardy enough to stand shipment to any point in the Eastern or Mid¬ 
dle States. I have nearly every variety named in my seed list and respectfully solicit 
the orders of any and all who want the best to be had, 
Price, boxed and delivered to Express here, $2.00 per thousand, 5000 or over at 
$1.50 per thousand. Will be able to supply from June 15th to August 1st. 
UggTTrice at beds $1.50 per thousand regardless of quantity. 
TOMATO PLANTS. I also have an unusually large and fine stock of Tomato 
Plants, mostly Livingston’s Favorite and Perfection, the two best varieties in existence. 
Plants twice transplanted and well rooted. Price $2.0U per hundred. 
CELERY PLANTS. These I cannot get ready in open ground before July 10. 
Will then have very nice plants of Crawford’s Half Dwarf and Golden Hearted Dwaif. 
only, at $3.00 per thousand. Have no early celery. 
CAULIFLOWER PLANTS. Shall have nice plants of the “Lackawanna" 
variety only, ready June 15th, at 25 cents per 100. 50 plants by mail for 50 cents. 
While I shall take pleasure in tilling orders and delivering to the Express first class 
plants, well packed and in good condition, I must decline to send plants C. O. D., and I 
hope my friends will not ask me to do so. 
Address orders plainly, ISAAC F. TILLINGHAST, 
La Plume, Lack’a Co., Pa.
