Dear Sirs: I consider it my duty to inform you about the results I had with the seeds I bought of your firm. The Jute seed gave an enormous amount of plants. The same is the case with your Cotton, and the Honduras Tobacco, which is a broad- leaved kind, is doing extremely well in this climate, far superior to the Havana Tobacco. The Sunflowers came up exceedingly well. Alfalfa, which I sow in poor, sandy soil, can be cut already, after three months, being 2 feet high. As for Muskmelon, Long Island Beauty is a kind that cannot be praised enough, on account of earliness, productiveness, and size. In all, I must thank you for the honest way you treated me, and cannot omit to recommend the southern farmer
