Lock land, Ohio, Oct. 19, 1884. 
Mr. I. F. Till nghast, Dear Sir:—I saw in 
yonr August number of Seed Time and Har- 
' that you could not have cabbage before 
July 20, without wintering the plants over, 
beg to differ with you in this statement for I 
sowed some of your Fottler’s seed in a box and 
set them by the stove on the 4th of February, 
and by the 29th of March my plants were large 
enough to set out, and on the 4th of July I had 
solid heads of cabbage. 
I would like to hear from some one else through 
your magazine if they have done any better 
with cabbage. 
I set out about 150 cabbage plants and every 
one came to a head, but my Late Drumhead did 
not do well. The remainder of the seed that I 
got of you came all right. The Golden Dawn 
Mango was the finest I ever saw; not a bit of 
sharp taste to them. If I live I will have to send 
you another order in January. I remain, 
Yours Truly, Daniel Beck. 
Galesburg, III., June 5 , 1884. 
I. F. Tillingiiast; D.-arSir,—Please excuse 
my asking a question or two. We have some 
very fine roses, they are covered with a small 
green worm that almost kills them. What can 
I do for them? I send a leaf with worms on. 
our moss roses are the worst off of any; also can 
I remove my peonies at any time this summer 
or fall and not injure their blooming next spring? 
Enclosed find stamp for answer. Your seeds 
have come up well, the onion better than such 
seeds generally do. Yours Truly, 
Earnest Mattingly. 
Answer; The leaves sent have been eaten by 
the rose slug, a very common pest. We have 
seen an application of sulphur, hellebore, air- 
slacked lime and various other things applied, 
but never have experimented with them enough 
to ascertain which is the bast remedy. Shall be 
pleased to hear from any of our readers who 
may have discovered a certain cure for this or 
any other inssct pest. 
Ebony, Mo., July 6 , 1884. 
Mr. I. F. Tillinghast; I think the Seed 
1 ime and Harvest grand. Can you or any of 
readers tell me where to get some tame Pepper¬ 
mint seed. I saw it mentioned as good to drive 
away rats, (that is the plant.) I don’t know 
what the tree beans will yet do but believe it 
each blossom makes a pod they will beat your 
recommend. We have a good prospect for crops 
here, the wheat is being damaged somewhat by 
the bugs. Respectfully, 8. D. Fairbanks. 
Montrose, Pa., Oct. 28,1884. 
Mr. I. F. Tillinghast; I bought some seven 
papers of cabbage seeds of you last spring, and I 
should think every seed came up and about 
every plant, of over a thousand, had a nice head. 
Every one who saw them, and that was not a 
few, said they were the largest and finest cab* 
bage they ever saw. I sold a load in Montrose 
for 10 cts. a head. Sold plants and they all 
made fine cabbages. I think I shall grow a 
few acres next year and will take the agency 
for your plants. Your P. S. seeds produce the 
best cabbages ever raised in this country. Please 
let me know if you have an agent in this place. 
Yours Respectfully, John A. Hickok.
