The Cheapest and Most Successful Fertili-
ger on Wheat ever introduced
into this Country.
The Redonna Guano has now been used extern
siyely for awo years upon every description OF
crops, and with the most unprecedented success.
Its results upon the various crops, and especially
the wheat crop of the present season, has estao-
lished its reputation beyond all Others and a
demand, unprecedented.
'RED0NDAn is a pure, nau rial Guano, en-
tirey uniform in its character, sold to the iarm"
ers just as it is imported, and requires no pre-
paration for the DRILL.
The EXTREMELY LOW PRICE at which
it is sold 1.-THE ordinary manufactured Phosphates
costing over one hundred per cent. above the
price of Redonda) is not the least important fact
to the farmer.

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 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.
Yours, truly.

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 so lbs,
per acre las thick as the drill would sow it;)
this application was made to IL acres, one half
sown in Wheat the other in Rye.
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 Weevi. 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
very valuable permanent fertilizer.

compared with other Fertilizers, is great thing
for us in these times the price, and its success

one part Peruvian, as have some of my neigh
