Gentlemen: am well pleased with the
result of the use of the "Double Refined
Poudrette" on my crops. Itriedit on both
corn and cotton, and am satisfied wherever
1t was applied the yield was more than
double what it would have been without it.
regret exceedingly my not using it more
extensively the present year, but will try
to make up my loss by purchasing larger
quantity next spring. 1 regard it as the
cheapest, most reliable, and easiest man
aged fertilizer within my knowledge, and
cheerfully recommendit it fas have tried it
thoroughly to the farmers Of this section,
and particularly to those planting cotton,
from the fact of its causing it to mature
from ten days to two weeks earlier than it
would without tho use OF the Poudrette. l
also used it on my garden, and found it of
much benefit to all kinds of plants. Very
respectfully, &c. G. S. OGLESBY.

Sir: The Double Refined Poudrette 1
bought for two other parties i'll connection
with myself-one of them used it on cotton
and corn, and thinks it answered finely;
the other put it on. cotton, on very poor
ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. l
used it on corn. 1t answered finely, and
was thought by the hand that cultivated
the crop to be fully equal to Rhodes Super
Phosphate. L also used it on about an
acre of cotton, and am clearly of opinion
that it Is the best and cheapest fertilizer
in use, and expect to order several tons
this winter. Yours, very respectfully,

suits of our experience in the use of vour
improved Poudrette-purchased of YOU for
