Messrs. W. CRIcHroN & Son.
Gentlemen Il have ust returned fiom visit
made expressly to see the effects of your Redon-
da Guano on the present crop of wheat, and al
though it involved ride of thirty miles, yet
feel amply compensated.
The three gentlemen | visited, were Colonel
Forbes. H. G: S. Key and George H: Morgan,
they all used it extensively and TIN ee finer fields
cannot be found in Maryland. The latter gen
teman is most enthusiastic in its praise, he has
used Peruvian and all the numerous manufac-
tured Phosphates, but he never had such field
of wheat at this time.
Yours, respectfully, N O.. REEDER

Gentlemen - The Redonda Guano, that we
purchased of you last fall, has given entire
satisfaction, we applied it to wheat, corn, pota-
toes, and buckwhcat, we sowed one field of
wheat broadcast, about 400 lbs. to the acre, in
Montgomery county, and narrowed it in, which
looks we'll. On the same farm, in this county,
we put in field of B,tck,Uheat, which was as
good ever grew on land about 200 pounds to
the acre, of the Rcdonda, was applied. The po-
tatCes look we'll and the Redonda has made us as
good crops of the Fertilizers that cost
US double the price the Redonda did.
Yours, truly, RAWLINGS & SON.

Gentlemen Il desire, as promised, to acquaint
you with the results of the application of the
Redonda GuanO, upon my wheat land last fall.
applied the Guano at the rate of $50 lbs. per
acre Gas thick as the drill would SOW it'd this
application was made to IL acres, one half sown
in Wheat, the other in Rye.
The grain grew we'll in the fall and both
Wheat and Rye promised fine crop in the
spring; the grain has been harvested but not as
yet thrashed. l have reason to believe that the
Rye will make an unusually fine yield, but the
Wheat does not promise SO we'll, 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 Clouer
applied, is we'll set and very vigorous, and /
esteem the application of the Redonda, though
not of speedy benefit, from the causes above, as
a very valuable permanent fertilizer.

Dear Sirs 1.-THE Rcdonda is so cheap, when
compared with other Fertilizers, is great thing

last year has induced many of our farmers to
try it, it: ,.oa :. ,o;oa e,,x ro. oe poaona,

Gentlemen You are aware that depended
mainly on the mixture of Redonda Guano last
autumn for manuring my wheat, using small
portion of Peruvian (not all of part of ton
got from you) on about thirty five acres. From
present appearances, my crop will excel any
ever raised on same area, within my recolec-
ton on the fields now'in cultivation, during the
past thirty years.

Gentlemen Il used the Redonda Guano this
spring, on my corn and in my garden. The
results of this manure quite satisfactory to
me, and l consider it fully equal to any of the
manufactured phosphate which used at same
time, and which cost me twice as much as Re-
donda. Yours, respectfully.
