SEED-TIME AND HARVEST. 
23 
Santa Fe, N. M., Oot. 8, 1884. 
Mr. Isaac F. Tillinghast; Dear Sir,—With 
regard to the seeds I received from you last 
spring I will say Berkshire Beauty cabbage is 
the best cabbage for early and main crop I ever 
put in the ground. Mine run from 15 to 30 
pounds each. I have been raising cabbage now 
for thirty-five years, and if I should plant cab¬ 
bage for twenty years more, this is the kind for 
me if the seed should be one dollar an ounce. 
The Early Jersey Wakefield are splendid; also 
the Early Summer. I have Marblehead Mam¬ 
moth from your seed which weigh forty pounds 
each after taking off the root and loose or out¬ 
side leaves. Your Golden Dawn Pepper is the 
eariiest, handsomest, mildest and most produc¬ 
tive pepper grown. I am going to take a couple 
of my cabbage to the Post Office and the same to 
the New Mexican Review Printing Office, and 
I will send you a paper containing notice, as 
I shall put a label on the same, “From Puget 
Sound Seed, from I. F. Tillinghast, La Plume, 
Lackawanna Co., Pa.” 
I have but 1500 cabbages in all, say forty 
square rods, and I would not give them to day 
for an acre of any I know of around here. More 
anon, from Yours Respectfully, 
George Cann. 
Copenhagen, N. Y., Oct. 20, 1884. 
Mr. I. F. Tillinghast: Dear Sir,—Can you or 
any of the readers of your excellent Magazine 
•‘Seed-Time and Harvest”, give the reasons 
why potatoes grown on some ground are always 
scabby and rough? Is it owing to the soil, or is 
it a worm—the brown grub that is in the ground? 
I have heard various theories advanced. 
I will now report in rerard to my crop of gar¬ 
den vegetables grown from your seeds. I have 
grown a fine crop of cauliflower the past season, 
although it has been quite dry some of the time, 
I must say that your Early Lackawanna Cauli¬ 
flower ‘‘take the cake” and are superior in every 
respect. They head very early, make large 
heads, and are fine as to quality. They proved 
to be much earlier with me than Early Snowball. 
I shall plant largely of them another season. 
And your Fottler’s Drumhead Cabbage are 
“Boss.” I thought I had raised quite good crops 
of them before, but my crop that I am harvesting 
from your seed out does all precedent. The 
plants were set as late as the fisrt of July, but 
they did not seem to stop growing a minute after 
setting, and hardly wilted a leaf, but went right 
ahead; and I am now harvesting a splendid crop, 
large, solid and heavy. I have now been en¬ 
gaged in market gardening and plant growing 
for several years, and have had seeds from a 
great many differerent growers but yours eclipse 
them all, and are ahead of any I have ever tried, 
they germinate the quickest, grow the fastest; 
and all seem to be superior strains for the kind. 
I shall take pleasure in introducing your seeds 
another year in this section. 
I wish to say a word in regard to an Insect 
Powder that I have discovered in the past 
year. I have experimented with every thing to 
rid plants of the destructive black and striped 
bugs and have finally succeeded in discovering a 
preparation that will exterminate the black flea 
or bug, and the striped bug instantly on applica¬ 
tion; they will not stay a minute where this 
powder is applied. It contains no poisoD, and 
is a good fertilizer. It does not kill but drives 
them off. I shall be prepared to furnish this 
insect powder the coming season either in large 
or small quantities. Prices will be made known 
through the advertising colums of “Seed-Time 
And Harvest,” or at any time by letter on 
application. I will warrant it to do all that is 
claimed for it. I would not be with out it in my 
plant and market gardens for twenty-five dollars 
a year. Yours Respectfully, F. D. AUSTIN.
