LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. 
Burrell, Pa., Aug. 13, 1884. 
Mr. I. F. Tiilinghast: Dear Sir;—I am 
well pleased with the cabbage seeds you 
sent me. I sowed the Jersey Wakefield 
under glass; the heads sold readily for 
eight and ten cents per head. The cauli¬ 
flower has done well notwithstanding the 
dry weather. I planted Fottler's Drumhead 
in open ground, and to-day I have some of 
the finest specimens 1 ever saw at this 
season of the year. I think your Puget 
Sound Cabbage will take the place of East¬ 
ern grown seed as soon as it is known. I 
have nearly two thousand cabbage set out 
this season for late cabbage. 
Yours Truly, John Williams. 
Arcade, N. Y., Sept. 2, 1884. 
Mr. Tiilinghast: Sir;—Will you give me 
your opinion on the following: 
Would you advise plowing green sward 
now and sowing to winter rye, then plow¬ 
ing the rye under in the spring for cabbage ? 
[Ans. Yes. It is an excellent plan.] 
Do you think it would rid the ground of 
cut worms ? 
[Ans. We cannot say.] 
Do you think this treatment with a liber- 
al use of phosphate in the spring would 
bring a good crop of cabbage ? 
[Ans. Yes, if the ground is good now.] 
Can you give me the address of a good 
party that will buy horse-radish in the root. 
I have one acre that will be ready about 
December 1. 
[Ans. We cannot.] 
I bought 1000 cabbage plants of you in 
the spring. They are looking well consid¬ 
ering the drouth the fore part of the season. 
[Ans. That’s the way they all talk about 
them.] 
Will you make the same offer next spring 
you made last, in regard to the selling of 
your seed and raising cabbage plants ? 
[Ans. Yes, and better.] 
Respectfully, Ebbert Cummings. 
Hillsjtoro, Ohio, Sept. 8, 1884. 
Mr. Isaac Tiilinghast:—We are still plod¬ 
ding along. Have the best of encourage¬ 
ment for our undertaking. Think no one 
has better looking strawberry plants in 
Southern Ohio. But the best of all is to see 
the Puget Sound cabbage get ahead of all 
others in this region. This is the worst 
season for drought for many years. Out 
of 3000 plants set June 20, 2500 are extra 
fine. There is much in growing seeds 
North. Others have plants side by side— 
seed from Landretli and Henderson—Puget 
Sound stuff largely ahead. 
I am putting up a forcing pit like the one 
you built last winter, only I use a No. 4 
Saddle boiler, second-hand but good; cost 
$40. I hope to get pretty well fixed up by 
spring. 
I write this to let you know that 401 is 
wide awake to the interests of the vegetable 
world. Respectfully, C. B. COON.
