JOHN McARTHUR, Esq, Augusta, Maine.
Sr-I purchased Of you, last spring, eight barrels
of Bradleys Patent Super Phosphate and applied 1t
to the cultivation of potatoes five and half acres
of old worn out land, with no other manure. The
result was two hundred bushels to the acre. being
fully double the quantity produced on an equal
quality was decidedly better, being larger and
smoother and worth at least fifteen twenty cents
per bushel more than where no Phosphate was used.

worth OF Phosphate, and the quality was very much

'iu New Sharon, Me, April II, 1858.
Messrs. Editors-I have used Bradley's Super
Phosphate OF Lime corn and potatoes for several
years past, to my entire satisfaction. Last year
his Super Phosphate compared with corn raised with
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
ears raised on the rows where Bradley's Phosphate
was applied were 1-2 inches longer, and filed out
to the end, with an increased crop of at least
third, and OF much better quality, The corn Rrewn
on the rows where barn-yard manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
none OF the ears filled out to the end, the
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes 1t acted equally as we'll as it did
my corn. think ne farmer in Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without Bradey's Phosphate, and
SO well satisfied that they would be as unwilling as
am to do without it,
Yours respectfully, LUTHER CURTIS.

is make the best Phosphate that you can, and there
will be no lack of buyers; but woe to the manuiac

Yours truly, THOMPSON & PUTNAM,
Dear sir-I have used your Super Phosphate two
years, with very satisfactory results.
In 1857. used one barrel on corn, and am
thirds.
This year used nearly 400 lbs. on one and one
half acres and raised 220 bushels of good merchant
able potatoes, beside eight barrels Of smaller
left two rows without Phosphate in three differ
ent parts OF the field, and 1 found not more than
one-third the quantity produced on six rows with
Phosphate, and they were all too small to offer TOR
Your Phosphate also gave me excellent results on
turnips, and all kinds of garden sauce.
Yours truly, JOHN BURRlLL.

Dear Sir-I, have used several kinds of Super
Phosphate and consider yours The best fertilizer
now in use, have tried it on sweet corn, and
found it very useful in driving the ahead early
in the spring, and giving me large crop There is
no mistake but what yours is the best in the
market & Yours truly.

MR.. BRADLEY,

VIM. l.. BRADLEY,
Dear Sir-Having used your Super-Phosphate sew |
eral years with good success purchased half ton
last spring for corn and potatoes. When planting
corn, tried hog manure, Phosphate, and hen ma |
nurc, each separately, on the same quantity and |
quality of land had better corn from the Phos- |
phate than fom either the other manures have |
mentioned. |
The result on potatoes was equally satifactory, |
and estimating both crops at market prices here the
half ton of your Phosphate has paid me one hundred
and fifty dollars, which consider good invest 1
ment. shall use more in future than have in /
