TILLINGHAST’S 
Puget Sound Cabbage Seeds 
A SIGNAL SUCCESS! 
The Most Wonderful Results ever achieved by any 
Specialty in Seeds ever disseminated. 
Will You Let Them Speak for Themselves? 
If you do not use Tlllingllast’s Puget 
Soiuiil Cabbage Seeds it is because you do 
not know that they are the best in the market. 
If you do not know it, it is because you have neg¬ 
lected to test them. Thousands of gardeners who 
have tested them do know it, and I ask you to let 
not another seed time pass without proving them. 
Jonathan Sheldon, West Greece, N. Y., writes: 
“ The Cabbage seeds 1 got from you last season 
beat all other seeds in this section, and that is saying 
considerable, as there was about 200 carloads 
shipped from here. I grew 40,000 and shall raise 
sixty to one hundred thousand this season.” 
Urias Fink. Massilon, O., writes : “Your P. S. 
Cabbage Seeds gave better satisfaction than ever 
before. One of our growers says that out of 18,000 
early plants set, not one dozen failed to produce 
marketable heads. All my customers are pleased.” 
These are but samples of letters received from 
every State in the Union. If your faith is not 
strong enough to impel you to purchase, please do 
me the justice to send your address and a stamp 
for postage and I will mail you samples pkbe. 
They will speak for themselves. I have all the 
leading varieties, early and late, at j cents per 
packet, 25 cents per ounce, 3.00 per pound. They 
are grown from perfect heads, from the best strains 
of stock in the world, and seeded in a country 
perfectly adapted to the fullest development of cab¬ 
bages. Having found that good cabbage plants are every year scarce in many parts of the country, and that planters 
are often obliged to send away hundreds of miles for plants which come at a great expense for transportation, and 
perhaps in a half-spoiled condition at that, we decided it would be a grand thing for the country, to establish an agent 
in each large town and give him full instructions for growing plants successfully. Accordingly about two years ago 
we began advertising for men rightly situated for carrying on the plant business and have succeeded in establishing 
about 2,000 such agencies. The number is rapidly enlarging but there arc yet thousands of towns in good localities, 
in which we want a plant agent. As but one person is enrolled as agent, and furnished with instructions in each town, 
we of course want the man who is best situated to properly conduct the business with profit to himself and to us, 
(for we supply him with seeds at a net cost which will enable him to sell them also at a fair profit.) To save our¬ 
selves the risk of booking the wrong man, who would apply out of curiosity and accomplish nothing were we to offer 
the agency free to all applicants, we require a small payment on receipt of which we enroll the applicant as agent, 
book him for a year's subscription to our monthly magazine, Seed-Time and Harvest, send instruction books 
giving full detailed information on successfully growing plants, with net prices to agents on seeds. In fact we put 
him right in position to start and conduct a paying business in selling seeds and plants. For those who wish to do 
more than a local business, we have recently perfected a plan which we think will as soon as thoroughly understood, 
be appreciated by our agents and also by the general public. An annual fee of One Dollar is charged each agent 
who wishes to join a general Advertising Fund. This money is expended by us in advertising the fact that we will 
send a printed list of Plant Growers free to any one desiring to purchase plants. As a result we are in frequent 
receipt of replies from parties in various sections who wish plants. We promptly mail them a printed list of the 
agents in their state or vicinity, and they then can correspond directly with the ones who can snip to them at the 
least expense. We know of many instances where this has succeeded in selling large quantities of plants, the one 
dollar paid to us thus returning perhaps a hundred dollars in cash to the agent. We now want an active agent in 
every large town in the Union, and we invite correspondence from any one who is situated so as to either sell seeds 
of all kinds or grow and sell plants from our now famous Puget Sound Cabbage Seeds. Cabbage growers 
are very willing to pay an extra price for an extra fine quality in cabbage seeds, and now we can supply at prices 
which compete with the greatly Inferior seeds in market, and our agents soon control the bulk of sales in their 
vicinities. 
Now, if the reader of this thinks himsilf rightly situated either to sell good seeds, or to grow and sell plants, or 
both, and does not know that we already have an agent in his town, he will please forward us at once one dollar, 
simply saying it is for agent’s outfit. On receipt of it we will refer to our books and if we have not a working agent 
already there, we will enter the name on our agents’ list and send the outfit which consists of all the following, (worth 
£2.00 at retail): Seed-Time and Harvest, our monthly magazine for one year. Tlllingllast’s Manual, 
or Instruction Book on successfully growing plants. A certificate of Agency, and net terms to agents. Pour 
Ounces liest P. S. Cabbage seeds, your choice of varieties. Catalogue giving fuller particulars will be mailed 
free on application. If interested please address
