ZELL,S 'CELERRATED Fertilizer.

UELL'S CELEBRATED Fertilizer.
II We again offer to the Farmers of Angus,
tn, and adjoining counties this justly celebrated
Fertilizer. As to its SURPRISING merits and re.
markabe results, it is only necessary to say that
that we sold last Fall, to the farmers of Augusta
county, $50 one hundred and fifty tons, "a lar
ger quantity than was sold of any other Fertili-
ger offered in this market,) from which we have
heard the most satisfactory accounts-in many
cases equalling the pure Peruvian Guano. We
have in no case heard complaint of adultera-f
ton as we have heard of other Fertilizers now
before the people, but every farmer who used it
is entirely satisfied as to the result. -a { IL -l
We give below few certificates of Farmers
who used it last season. .--iA 81

Messrs. p. b. Hoge & Bro. :-Gentlemen-
purchased of you last Fall (3) tons of YelPs SUI
per Phosphate. and '(2 two tons of ZelPs Raw
Bone Phosphate, and drilled these fertilizers
manipulated Guano, and sowed with my wheat.
have no hesitation in saying that Zell's fertlli-
Zers are vastly superior to any that L have ever
used or seen used by my neighbors. They gave
me an excellent stand and yield OF Wheat-thes
straw clear anu nice, and the grains plump and
heavy. Where these fertilizers were sown, |
have an excellent stand of grass on light, sandy,
chestnut soil, where 1 could never before get
grass to catch.'' I earnestly recommend them
to our farmers as No. Fertilizers. 3 5rst

Messrs. p. B. Hoge & Bro. :--Gentlemen-Last
Fall 1 purchased OF you several tons ZelFs Fer
tilizers. have also used almost every fertilizer
in the market, and have no hesitancy in saying
that it is far superior to any have ever used ex
cept Peruvian Guano, which believe is equal to
it. but no better. am highly pleased with it and
confidently recommend it to the farmers of this
section, as believe it is better adapted to this
soil than any Phosphate yet introduced here.

Messrs. P B. Hoge & Bro. :-Gentlemen-In
answer to your enquiries would say that used
Zels fertilizers at the rate of 16O lbs to the acre.
and take pleasure in saying that it has acted en-
tirely to my at:sfaction-indeed, it is the best
wheat crop ever raised on the same land. 1t is
my belief that it is a sure preventive of fly, as
wheat is considerably damaged but where ZelPs
fertilizers used there is no appearance of fly.
Very respectfully, ELI CARRIER.

Messrs P. B. Hoge q Bro. Dear Sirs-I pur-
chased of you last Fall four or five tons ZelPs
rate of 200 lbs to the acre. and the yield of wheat
was fully twenty bushels to the acre. am salts
fed that on portion of the land would not
have made more than 10 bushels to the acre had
tire satisfaction. and recommend it to the use of
all farmers, as believe it will pay them well.

MEssRs P. B. HoGE s. Bro :-Gentlemen-I
used Zelps Fertilizers last fall on very poor land
the land am sure would not have made more
than bushels to the acre without Fertilizers,
and I feel confident the yield will be at least
twelve bushels per acre / used $50 pounds to
the acre. l regard it as equal in every respect
to any Fertilizer have used for years.
