  THE BEST IN THE WORLD. In every part of the country, from Maine to Oregon, it is pronounced good. High Testimony from High Sources. Reports of the Experiment Stations: Prof. W. J. Green, Ohio. Ag. Ex. Sta., says: Having tested your Snowball and Earliest Dwarf Erfurt, I do not hesitate, after careful trials, to say that your Cauliflower seed ranks with the very best. Not only does it show the effects of careful selection, but the seeds were very large and full of vitality, germinated quick, and produced plants of uncommon vigor, healthy in all stages of growth. If the seed sent us is a fair sample you need not hesitate to claim that it is as good as any that can be produced, as far as quality is concerned, and in vitality and consequent vigor of plants excelling imported seed by 25 per cent. I shall not hesitate to recommend Puget Sound Cauliflower seed, for I believe it to be The Best in the World. Prof. L. R. Taft, Mich. Ag. Col., writes: Dear Sir,—The Early Perfection ("Novelty No. 9") and American grown Snowball Cauliflower seed sent here for trial by you, as compared with nine other varieties, the following is the report. No. 8 is American Snowball, and No. 10 is Novelty No. 9 or Early Perfection: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 96 93 65 58 43 79 63 96 86 99 83 Germination. 90 68 66 48 17 58 33 82 76 90 60 Vegetation. 80 80 70 80 90 40 60 90 90 100 80 Vigor and heading The Early Perfection (No. 9) was one of the first to form heads, requiring fifty-three days from time of planting out. It gave fully as good and large heads as any of the other early kinds. I am particularly pleased with the high vegetative powers of your seeds, and the vigor of the plants. Mich. Ag. Col., Nov. 20, 1890. H. A. March, Fidalgo, Wash.: Dear Sir,—Your letter asking for a report of your Cabbage and Cauliflower Seed, is at hand. The Puget Sound strain of Early Wakefield Cabbage seed was so noticeably large that I weighed several samples of it and found that it averaged two and one-half times as large as the same variety from other seedsmen. In the seed-box we obtained 97 plants from 100 seeds. The plants were much stronger than those of any other variety. Twenty-five plants were put out, and every one formed a perfect head. They were very even in size and shape, averaging slightly larger than our other strains, with three days difference in their favor in earliness. Very truly, L. R. TAFT. Prices half the price of imported seed of the SAME QUALITY. H. A. MARCH, Fidalgo, Skagit Co., Wash.
