EEB-TIME km HARVEST. 
LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. 
FULLY SATISFIED. 
Rock Bluff. Neb., July 26, 1884. 
Mr. I. F. Tilling hast: Dear Sir,—lam ful¬ 
ly satisfied with the instructions and seeds 
for the money I sent you. 
The Puget Sound Cabbage seed you sent 
me last spring all grew first rate. I distrib¬ 
uted them among the neighbors, a few in a 
place, and they are praised very highly. 
We have had a first rate season here this 
year; no lack of rain at any time. At pres¬ 
ent we are getting a great deal of rain. The 
prospects for bountiful crops of all kinds 
are the best that Nebraska has ever had. 
Yours truly, W. W. Graves. 
A GRAND SUCCESS. 
W. Mill Creek, July 29, 1884. 
Mr. Isaac F. Tillingliast: Since receiving 
your instructions to agents I have not writ¬ 
ten to you. But I have been making pre¬ 
parations for a pretty big plant trade, and 
expect to order my seed of you this fall in 
time to winter over from six to ten thous¬ 
and cabbage plants. 
As to handling your seeds to the trade, 
I am hardly in the shape to do it, but will 
take as many orders as I can. People in 
this part think nothing is better than 
Western grown cabbage seed, the farther 
west the better. Being young and this my 
first year in trying to garden, just tried on 
a small scale, having a great deal of ditch¬ 
ing and clearing up to do. I think I shall 
have everything in shape for another year. 
I am either going to make a grand success 
or grand failure, it must be one or the 
other. Truly Yours, C. W. Zuck. 
ANOTHER AGENT NEEDED. 
Cameron, La., July 12, 1884. 
Mr. I. F. Tillingliast: Dear Sir,—Your 
valuable Seed-Time and Harvest comes 
regularly with an extra copy, which I dis 
tribute among my neighbors, and have been 
trying to get some one to accept your prop¬ 
osition as an agent here, but have failed so 
far. The trouble here, as regards the rais¬ 
ing of cabbages, has been the uncertainty 
of their growth on account of the pests 
that infest them. I have been getting my 
seeds of you for several years, and I am 
fully satisfied they are of the best quality. 
They never fail to come up and grow and 
make fine plants when not destroyed by 
insects. I had good luck last season; grew 
the finest lot of cabbages, acknowledged by 
all dealers, that had ever been brought to 
Galveston, Texas. Some of them weighed 
fifty-six pounds. I made $300, on less 
than an acre of ground. But this year 
cabbage raising has been a complete failure. 
All my first sowing was frozen down and 
completely killed, after they had com¬ 
menced to head. I sowed seed again and 
again and all was destroyed by insects as 
soon as they came up. If I could buy the 
plants of an agent and get your Puget 
Sound plants I would much rather do so, 
but I see from your list that you have no 
agent in this State. So I must send for 
more seed, for which please find enclosed. 
Yours Truly, Chester H. Alden. 
just as represented. 
Delta, Iowa, Aug. 8th, 1884. 
Friend Tillinghast: As you were kind 
enough to send Seed-Time and Harvest to 
me I consider it my duty to return you my 
thanks by mail. I consider your magazine 
a very sensible publication. The seed I pur¬ 
chased of you last spring have developed 
into extra fine vegetables. I shall use your 
Puget Sound cabbage seed next spring; the 
seed gave me entire satisfaction, and it is 
gratifying to know that the seed you buy 
will grow and is just as represented. - 
Yours with respect, J \mes W. Gay.
