been seat 70 me from u portions OF
the United States for my Puget Sound
cabbage seeds
To tais have lately added cauis-

nv oss ez.e has done la America, and
have commenced What 10 d stiped "
De OF national importance and OF much
future oeaent 10 Puget sound
After fourteen years Of experiment
and enoea.or. am just beginning 10
maze q wholesale market sol Puget
Soand Erosn cabbage aud cAulirower
seeds, holding my .s.d customers and
gaining new ones eacss year This Is
should Dc glad 70 add more varieties
OF seeds 10 my wholesale Iist Il l could
get She.Is grown By cAref-i, competent,
conscientious persons that have the
land, lzoor, time and Inclination TO de-

10 sell ON comm ssion. The growing

cult and as important 10 he grower.
A man may produce what be knows 20
De as good seed - ever grew, and yet
u may spoil on his hands for wan OF
y buyer. Ii takes long time To build
up = reputation that viii enable any
one to sell seeds They cannot be sold
IN the markets ike nay, gram, potatoes
or any VI the standard farm products.
The same scotsman who viii charge
you several dollars per pound for inie-
rior seeds viii not offer you as many
cents for yours, as many Of rs have
found sometimes to our sorrow. WHAT
We need is u united endeavor and Coz
operation Of all Washington I rrltory
seed growers, or all who wish to try
seed growing, with some one 70 iur-
nish stock seeds, see that proper selec-
ton and care Is gwen, TO make all the
sales and - see that only such seed Is
sold Is viii be . credit To the country.
In thus way our farmers and gardeners
eau not only produce their own seeds,
out the future State Of Washington
Will take high rank rs = seed-pfoducing
country and derive considerable reve-
hue from that source.
By united action we can accomplish
more in one year than could be d0ue
IN ten in any other way. l know there
are many persons in our Territory
who would like TO grow seeds, for l
have had many applications from such
to grow seeds for me. Until now
have never gwen them much encour-
agement, rs l was producing each year
more than could sell. Tue situation
has changed. and could now sell more
than can grow.
Believing, with you, that it would be
alike a blessing TO those who plant
seeds and TO those who wish ~ grow
hem, propose to form q Seed
Growers Association" for the produc-
ton and sale Of Washington Territory
seeds. And knowing that such = pub
tic need will meet with your hearty
approval and aid, hope you will tell
all the host Of readers Of your =" Fa-
miliar Talks about it, and ask every
one who thinks he could find profit r
pleasure ia prop sriy growing seeds Of
any kind to send me their address.
Very respectfully yours,
