your Super-Phosphate upon my apple orchard OF
young growth-just before a rain The effect was
surprising; it changed the foliage at once, became
dark, and the growth of wood during the season
greatly exceeded that of previous years. found al
so the foliage remained longer the trees than when

used it on my garden for corn, potatoes, beans,
peas DeeCs, cucumberS, &C, anu tne eHecC was ngn-
ly satisfactory excepting the potatoes. had row
OF grape vines, and used the Phosphate on them i
was agreeably surprised with the result, as did not
expect anything from it, as the land was SO run
down. 1t did well TOR them, and they showed very
remarkable growth. can fully recommend this ar
ticle as good fertilizer.
Yours, ISAAC MCCLELLAN.
used Croasdale's Super Phosphate the last sea-
son in planting my corn, potatoes and garden, and
was satisfied with the result. got good crops OF
corn and potatoes on newly broken up land, which
was run out, and had not been titled for many years.
regard it as an exceedingly valuable fertilizer, and
recommend it to all my friends. also know that
my neighbour James Moody, ESQ.,, used it on his
farm and nursery with the same results as myself.
