THE COTTAGE GARDENER.—ADVERTISEMENTS. 
TO FARMERS, POTATO GROWERS, AND OTHERS. 
JACKSON’S PATENT PEEP ATI AT ION 
FOR 
PRESERVING POTATOES, WHEAT, & OTHER SEEDS, 
From DISEASE, the RAVAGES of the SLUG, GRUB, and WIRE WORM; in addition to which, the CROPS are brought 
forward in HEALTH and VIGOUR, and the yield is greatly increased, in proof of which the following extracts are 
given from numerous letters received by Mr, Jackson. 
EXTRACTS:- 
“ One of the fields of this farm, the property of Mrs. Stanbury, slightest appearance of any disease amongst them. They arc of large. 
was planted with Regent’s Potatoes in April last, some of which were 
prepared by you. The result now is, that the whole of the crop from the 
unprepared sets is thoroughly diseased, and hardly worth the trouble of 
taking up ; while those raised by the side of them from the prepared sets, 
are not only in a beautiful state of preservation from the disease, but the 
produce is much greater,—the Potatoes are more numerous than the 
others ; indeed, if there were no such thing as the disease to be feared, 
it would be worth the trouble and expense of preparing the sets by your 
process, even for the sake of the improved crops. I shall certainly, for 
the future, prepare all my Potatoes for seed by your process; and I intend 
to adopt it for preserving my Wheat from the Smut.

“ Belmont Farm, Elthara, Kent, August 23, 1854.” 
“ Admiral Sir J. A. Gordon, K.C.B., Marlee House, Blairgowrie. 
“ Sir, — I have received your note of the l6th. The Potatoes that came 
here from England, prepared by Mr. Jackson, were planted in a piece 
of new ground, and according to the directions sent by him along with them 
s to the distance between the plants, &c. They came up well, with strong 
healthy stems ; 1 have now taken the whole crop up, and there is not the 
equal size, and very prolific. There were long, black unprepared 
Kidneys planted in the same patch, and a great deal of them are not fit 
for use, at least a third part arc diseased. I hope Mr. Jackson’s pro¬ 
cess may be widely known, as it is a great boon.—I am,—&c., 
John Shanks, Forester, Kildrummy Castle. 
“ Kildrummy Castle, Aberdeenshire, November 1 7, 1854.” 
“Iam very much pleased with the result of the experiments I have 
made with your Prepared Potatoes; for I have planted them, without 
any manure, in ground where for several years I have hardly had a sound 
Potato, and I now find the crop perfectly free from disease, and in a very 
fine condition ; while those of the same sort, unprepared, which were 
planted at the same time, and next to them, are diseased, and eaten by 
worms. 
“ The Potatoes from the Prepared Seed were so remarkably good that I 
was induced to weigh them, and I found, to my great astonishment, that 
they were as 200 to 150 of the others, or about 25 per cent, in favour of 
your preparation. “ T. Austen, Nurseryman and Seedsman.
