GENTLEMEN The Redonda Guano, that we
purchased of you last fall, has given US entire
satisfaction, we applied it to wheat, corn, pota-
toes, and buckwheat, we sowed one field of
wheat broadcast, about 400 lbs. TO the acre. in
Montgomery County, and narrowed il 10, which
looks well. On the s9me farm, 10 this county,
we put in Geld of Buckwheat which was as
good as ever grew on land about 200, pounds
to the acre, OF The Redonda, was applied. The
potatoes look well and the Redonda has made
US as good crops as some of the Fertilizers that
cost US double the price the Redonda did.

GENTLEMEN - desire, as promised, to ac-
quaint you with the results of the application of
the Redonda Guano, upon my wheat land last
fall. applied the Guano at the rate of $50 lbs.
per acre las thick as the drill would sow it:)
this application was made 10 10 acres, one half
sown in Wheat the other in Rye.
The grain grew wen in the fall and both
Wheat and Rye promised fine crop in the
spring the grain has been harvested but not
as yet thrashed. have reason to believe that
the Rye will make an unusually fine yield, but
the Wheat does not promise so well, owing to
the Fly having damaged it very severely.
This may be ascribed to no little extent to the
variety sown (Boughton, as the bearded wheat
of my vicinity has almost entirely escaped the
ravages of both Fly and Weevil. The Glover
sown upon the ground to which the Guano was
applied, is well set and very vigorous, and l
esteem the application of the Redonda, though
not of speedy benefit, from the causes above. as
a very valuable permanent fertilizer.

DEAR SIRs 1.-THE Redonda is 80 cheap. when
compared with other Fertilizers, is great thing
for us in these times, the price and its success
last year has induced many Of our farmers to
try it.
Il have used il mixed four parts of Redonda and
one part Peruvian, as have some of my neigh
bors and our wheat crop is very good equal to
any in our neiEhborhood, where Peruvian and
Phosphates have been used, cost
Ing from $50 to $40 per ton +" /

GENTLEMEN til used the Redonda Guano this
sping, on my corn and in my garden. The re-
suits of this manure are quite satisfactory to me-
and consider it fully equal to any of the manu-
featured phosphates which used at the same
time, and which cost me twice as much as Re-
donda. Yours, respectfully, i
