HNHE attention Of Planters of Virginia, is called
i to this valuable manure, which has been
thoroughly tested for the past six years on every
description of crop.

phoric acid, the indispensable nutriment of plants
RHODES Super Phosphate Of Lime is chemi.
cal compound entirely different from the character
of the raw materials which used in preparation.
1t possesses virtues specifically its own, not Dor
rowed from other natural products nor imitable
by them, and is hence destined h form indisp'"-
sable assistam in modern agriculture.
The Model Farm, at Petersburg, Virginia has,
through all its various administrations, first tho
lamented Nicol next Mr.. Turnbul, and now tho
present superintendent, Mr.. Harris, endorsed this
manure as one of great value, and especially adaP-
ted for tobacco.

issue of November 9TH, notes the best sample OF
tobacco at the Virginia State Societys Exhibition
last fall was grown by DIR. J. W. Hunt, Of Motto
way county, with the application of Rhodes Super
Phosphate.
The Hon. VIM. L. Goggin, Of Bedford county,
Virginia, in his address before the Lyncbburg Ag
ricuitural Society endorsed this manure, and re-
marked "that il seemed to him that 10 secure vc-
ry large demand for this preparation was but for II
to be known"
The South Carolina Agricultural Society, At their
annual Fair, held at Columbia 9th, 10th. 18th, and
18th November, 1858, through their Committee ON
Chemicals, Minerals, &c., reported:
"The committee would call the attention OF tho
society to Rhodes Super Phosphate of Lime. Ex-
perence has proved it to be valuable fertilizer
said to be superior to Guano.'
"Your committee beg leave to say that they have
discharged the duty assigned them fearlessy, faith
fully, and to the best of their ability.

to our farmers and planters that we do not intend
to allow ourselves to be betrayed into careless eA
preston of opinion, and hence we have examined
his (Rhodes) claim with care. We heartily re-
commend this fertilizer. 1t has been used upon
Tobacco, Wheat, Corn, and other Grains. and We
getabes with like good results, and differing from
Guano in leaving the land in better heart
