JOHN McARTHUR, Esq., Augusta, Maine
SRI purchased OF you, last spring, eight barrels
of Bradey's Patent Super Phosphate and applied it
to the cultivation OF potatoes on nve and half acres
of old worn out land, with no other manure, The
result was TWO hundred bushels to the acre, being
tulIy double the guar Itity produced on an equal
quality was decidedly better, being larger and
smoother, and worth at least fifteen TO twenty cents
per bushel mere than where no phospnae was used
can say raised 90 bushels OF potatoes this year
fer sale, and realize IS per bushel for them
at Augusta, eight miles from my farm. am conf
dent raised at least 500 tushes more for using $50
worth or Phosphate, and the quality was very much
better intend to use AZ least two and half tons

New Sharon, Me, April II, 1868.
Messrs. Editors-I have ed Brtdley's Super
Phosphate of Lime corn and potatoes for several
years past, to my entire satisfaction. Last year |
his Super Phosphate compared with rsised with
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
ears raise ON the rows where BradIey's Phosphate
was applied were i-2 inches longer, and filed out
to the end with an increased crop of at last on
third, and o much better quality The corn erewn
on the rows where 6arn-yai d manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
none OF the filled out 10 the end, the
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes it acted equally as we'll as it did on
my corn. think no farmer in Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without bradley's Phosphate, and
so well satisfied that they would be as unwilling as
am to do without it.
Yours respectfully, LUTHER CURTIS.

ALBION, Me-, Oct 9, 1868.
Dear Sir.-I have used your Super phosphate two
years, with very satisfactory results.
In 1861. used one barrel on corn, and am
confident the crop was increased by it, at least two
thirds.
This year used nearly 400 lbs. on one and one
half acres and raised 220 bushels of good merchant
alb potatoes, beside eight barrels Of smaller ones.
left two rows without Phosphate in three differ
ent parts OF the field, and found not more than
one-third the quantity produced on six lows with
Phosphate and they were all too small to offer for
sale
Your Phosphate also gave me excellent results on
turnips, and all kinds OF garden sauce.
