Peruvian.

J. ". Robson, Esq.,:
Ircccivcd sometime ago, circular from you asking
Of me tho result of my experiments this year with
Gunno. could not answer you satisfactorily, and
concluded to defer doing so, until went to your city
Soluble Pacific. My land is M old sandy soil ar.
piled from $50 to 200 lbs per acre and although in
tcntionally omitted no pmrt OF .he plantation, yet
parts of the plantation, on which no Guano was ap-
piled. The difference in the yield was from three to
FIVE hundred per cent in favor of the guanocd rows.
, Yours very truly,

j. ~ Robson, Esq, Charleston, s. g.:
You wrote me sometime ago, making inquiry in
regard to the effects of the Fertilizers purchased of
you INST Spring. have delayed my reply thus long,
to fully satisfy myself Of their benefits The Soluble
Pacific Guano, | applied in the April planting Of
cotton, at the rate Of 100 lbs. per acre. and find it
equal to twelve bushels cotton seed applied ut same
time, per acre. Had tho 100 lbs Guano been applied
one half in April, The other half in June think q
greater benefit would have accrued.
Yours, &c, II. ROGERS

j. N. Robson, Esq. Charleston, S. O.:
used Soluble Pacific Guano, from 100 to 220 lbs
per The largest quantity pays tie greatest per
ceatago Used side by side with Peruvian, have
be able to no difference from tho time Of cover
Ing up until now.
bly, impression is that would as leave use the
Soluble Pacific Guano, pound for pound, as the Pc
ruvtan, and 200 lbs per aero will pay better than
less

j. N Robson, Esq, Charleston, S. O.:
applied 200 lbs. Soluble Pacific Guano, pcr acre
on cotton. I think 1t paid, with the unavorable
season, at least 90 per cent. on tho investment I
think tho Pacific Guano better than Peruvian for a
summer crop
