SEED-TIME AUD HARVEST. 
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. 
cannot be excelled. 
I. F. Tillinghast: Dear Sir,—Your advice 
in raising plants cannot be excelled I nev¬ 
er saw seed come up better than yours did, 
and I think every one who is interested in 
gardening ought to subscribe for your paper, 
Seed Time and Harvest. Truly Yours, 
T. R. Riggs. 
FROM AGENCY 888. 
Springdale, Kansas, June 9, 1881. 
I. F. Tillinghast: Dear Sir,—Certificate 
of agency No. 888, Instruction Book, Seeds 
&c., came duly to hand. Seeds germinated 
O. K., and I am only sorry that I did not 
plant more largely as I have the plant trade 
in my grip. 
After following your directions in regard 
to ti e subject mentioned on last page of 
your Instruction Book, last two lines, I 
cooked my fish on the banks of the noble 
Walnut, seasoning them with hunger and a 
little admixture of sodium chloride, Golden 
Dawn Pepper pickle, cayenne, celery seed 
and smoke from the primitive broiling fa¬ 
cilities well known to the ex-Fed. and Con- 
fed. during the “late unpleasantness.” 
I expect to establish a seed trade here and 
wish to lay the foundations substantially. 
I am uncertain in regard to several points. 
Please send me samples of the printed mat¬ 
ter, circulars, posters, &c. After an exam¬ 
ination I can tell what wilj be of use to me 
and order intelligently. 
Of course I shall strive to do something 
with your most practical little monthly,— 
Seed-Time and Harvest —in what way I 
am not prepared to say. Yours truly.

twenty per cent, ahead. 
Warfield, Ky., June 15, 1884. 
I. F. Tillinghast: Dear Sir,—The cabbage 
seed you sent me of the “P. S.” was the 
largest specimen of cabbage seed I ever 
saw; and the plants produced by them is 
a marvel to my neighbors and a wonder to 
me. Stem one inch in diameter at this 
point, as to their future I cannot say, but 
will write you a history of them when they 
mature. I distributed 600 plants with my 
friends and told them that they might have 
them gratis as a commendation of the seed 
and Seedsman, Isaac F Tillingl ast. I rec¬ 
ommend all to purchase seed of the Puget 
Sound brand. I am proud of the result of 
the seed obtained of you, they are twenty 
per cent, ahead of any other Seedman’s 
seed. No check in the growth bj r trans¬ 
planting. Yours Truly, William Mead. 
NEVER SAW BETTER PLANTS. 
Tecumseh, Mich., July 8, 1884. 
Mr. I. F. Tillinghast: As I have mislaid 
your questions in regard to the plant sales, 
&c., I will try to answer them from mem¬ 
ory. First, I have sold 50,000 cabbage 
plants, and a finer lot I never saw than 
your seed produced, so clean and full of 
vitality, and the per cent, of culls was so 
small that it is not worth mentioning. And 
I would say in regard to the benefit of the 
instructions you sent me, that I lost all the 
plants I had started by the fleas, before I 
received your little book of Instructions te 
Agents. But on using your preventatives 
and following your instructions closely, I 
raised the fine lot I have spoken of. Your 
Posters^were the best advertisement that 
could be sent out, and brought me a good 
trade, as I have sold more plants this year 
than any other. Yours Respectfully, 
E. J. Hollister.
