seeds procurable. Experiencing much difficulty in obtaining seeds which were always to be relieu upon, 
he took the best strains which could be procured, and about twelve years ago emigrated with them to the 
tide-lands of Washington Territory, and on the borders of an immense inland sea, known as Puget Sound, 
started a seed-growing ranch, determined that with the help of his long experience, the best seed stocks 
allailiable, and with the aid Of the richest natural soil in the world, arid a climate perfectly adapted to 
the wants of rhe cabbage family, to produce a brand of seeds which should sing their own praises wher¬ 
ever introduced. How well he succeeded may be judged by the testimonials of thousands of planters 
scattered all over the Union, among them some of Hus largest, cabbage-growers in the world. For more 
than ten years these seeds have been sold ill every State without informing purchasers of their origin, 
and during all this time only good reports have come from those who have planted them. Sold in this 
way. they were offered in direct competition with various qualities of American and immense qualities of 
tho cheapest imported seeds, and to make soles to new ciisNdHWS must necessarily compete In price with 
all other quotations. In tftfe way an immense trade was built tip on their own merits. Believing that 
most cabbage-growers prefer to pay a fair price for an article which they cun feel assured is strictly first- 
class in every particular. 111 is brand of seeds was offered Tor the first time under their own (lag uiul line 
colors in the spring of 1S84, as Tillinghasfs 1‘ugct Sound cabbage-seeds. Aud in order to protect the 
public from being imposed upon by unprincipled dealers, who staial ready to take advantage of the great, 
popularity which at once attached itself to them, a trade-murk, as shown above, was devised, and will 
hereafter be printed upon every label and bag containing the genuine article. Purchasers therefore, in 
order to protect themselves, will see that this mark is upon every package they buy, uo matter by whom 
it is offered, for by this mark on the package you may know that the seeds contained iu it are genuine 
Tillinghasfs Puget Sound stock. We only ask a trial that growers in all sections may be convinced, as 
thousands of others have been, that under this trade-mark are sold tho very best cabbnge seeds which are
