MEssRs. B. M. RHODES & Co.
Gentlemen: In reply to your letter of inquiry In
reference to the good bad results from the use of
Rhodes Super Phosphate, "The Old Standard Ma
nure do cheerfuly say that for the last three
years have used and sold the same this Island.
The first year selling considerably, the second doub-
ling and the third and last year, 1867 three times
as much the frst-notwithstandin the great
efforts made by other Fertilizng Companies and their
agents with their stuff always on hand to push it
upon the public. But the great and lasting difference,
both in the production of grain and grass, was SO
evidently in favor of Rhodes Standard, that farmers
generally, as well as myself, have laid aside all
others for the of Rhodes exclusively. In short,
the difference in its superior effects all other Fer
tzers upon wheat, OATS and grass, is so percepti-
BILE and conclusive, that must say for the benefit if
not only yourself but the farming interest generally,
that know it to be the best paying Fertilizer
in the market. Very respectfully,
To w. W. K. GooDHAND:
We the undersigned hereby certify that we have
bought the above article of yourself, largely, and
after trying it along side of various other kinds-in
fact, all the different kinds now in our market-give
it the decided preference and heartily in what
is said of it by yourself.
Respectfully, &c.,

B. M. RHODES, ESQ.,
Dear Sir: Having used your STANDARD Manure"
for several years past take pleasure to recommend it
the best of any other kind that have used in the
meantime, along side of it. Last fall | sowed it so
sparey that hardly expected to receive any benefit
at ALL using on an average about one ton to twenty
acres at least, but am pleased to tell you that my
wheat has made a fine growth. What convinces me
of its good effects u.s. that sowed it along the side Of
another kind, where there is the greatest difference
saw between two different Fertilizers Where
used the other kind the wheat is great deal later,
besides being considerably smaller looking though
it had nothing sown on it. Admitting it did, some
good is more satisfactory proof that "Rhodes'
Standard" has superior qualities wheat producer.
Yours respectfully, EDWARD c. LEGG.

Mr. B. NJ RHODES.
Dear Sir: have been using Rhodes Standard
Manure for the last ten years along with many other
fertilizers that have been in the market, and find
that Rhodes gives far the most satisfaction. ind
that it will last longer and pay better than any other
for most any crop. am harvesting field OF
grass for the second year after wheat that only re-
ceived two hundred pounds per acre on oats stube,
and it is as good field of grass any one need
want: 1t shows to the very land it was sowed for
timothy believe Rhodes is the best fertilizer in
the country have applied it in the bill for corn in
very small quantities, $50 pounds per acre, and
could see it in the oat and wheat crops that followed
it. I would recommend Rhodes to any one that
uses fertilizer Yours very respectfully,
MILTON BLAKE.
