GENTLEMEN 81 have Just returned from visit
made expressly to see the effects of your Redon-
da Guano on tn, present crop Of wheat, and
although IL involved ride of thirty miles, yet
! feel amply compensated. -i
The three gentlemen visited, were COL For
hes, H.. G. s. Key and George Ii. Morgan, they
all used it extensively, and three finer fields can
not be found ia Maryland. The latter gentle
man is most enthusiastic in its praise, he has
used Peruvian, and all the numerous manufac-
tured Phosphates, but he never had such a field
of wheat as al this time. Yours, respectfully

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 it in, which
looks well. On the same farm, in this county,
we put in field of Buckwheat which was as
good rs 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 Redunda did.

GENTLEMEN IL desire, as promised, TO &C
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 3 30 lbs.
per acre Gas thick as the drill would sow it y
this application was made to IL acres, one half
sown in Wheat the other ia Rye. l ..tl
The grain gtew well in the fall and both
Wheat andsRye pnomisedloa fine crop in the
spring, the graiAshas bteH 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 Weev. The Clover
sown upon the ground TO which the Guano was
applied, is well set and very vigorous, and /
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 SO 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. .s
Il have used it 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 neighborhood, where Peruvian and
manufactured Phosphates have been used, cost
Ing from $50 to $40 per ton "

GENTLEMEN You are aware that depended
mainly on the mixture of Iedonda Guapo last
autumn for manuring my wheat, using small
portion of Peruvian mot all of a part of ton
got from you) on about thirty-five acres. From
present appearances, my crop will excel any
a .oal I,
the fields now in cult walton, during the past
thirty years. Yours, respectfully,

GENTLEMEN IL 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 I used Mt the same
time, and which cost me twice as much as Re-
donda. Yours, respectfully, I
