Messrs. w. CTtchfon q Son. -.,.a III,
h GESTLEMEN THE Redonda (iuano, that we
purchased of you last fall, has given MS 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 a field of Buckwheat which was as
good as ever grew on land about 200 pounds
to the acre, of the Redondn, 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.
e H. ia Yours, truly.

GENTLEMEN 81 desire, as promised, to ac-
quaint you with the results of the application Of
the Redonda Guano upon my wheat land last
fall. i applied the Guano at dhe rate Of $50 lbs.
per acre las thick as the drill would SOW il y
this application was made TO IL acres, one half
sown in Wheat, the other in Rye. 70 :.
The grain grew well 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 we'll set and very vigorous, and
esteem the application of the ,Redonda, though
Mt Of " frpy fIa ahnx,a
a very valuable permanent fertilizer.

DEAR SIRs 1.-THE Redonda is SO cheap. when
compared with other Fertilizers, is a great thing
for US in these times, the price, and its success
last year has induced many of our farmers to
try it.
i have used it mixed four parts Of Redonda and
one part Peruvian, as have some of my neigh
bors, and our wteatcrop is,yery good equal 10
any in onr. neie hborhood, where Peruvian and
manufactured Phosphates have been used, cost
Ing from $50 to $40 per ton" utbE EHI
