heard the most satisfactory aecounts-n many
cases equalling the pure Peruvian Guano We

July 10Th, 1859.
Messrs. p b. Hoge g. Bro :-Gentemen-I
purchased of you last Fall (9) tons of Yelps SUI
per Phosphate, and (2) two tons of ZelPs Raw
Bone Phosphate, and drilled these fertilizers
manipulated Guano, and sowcd with my wheat
have no hesitation in saying that ZelPs fertlli-
zers are vastly superior to any that have ever
used or seen used by my neighb3rs. Iaey gave
me an excellent stand and yield of wheat-the
| straw clear and nice, and the grains plump and
heavy. Where these fertilizers were sown, l
have an excellent stand of grass on light, sandy,
chestnut SOIL where could never before get
| grass to "catch.' / earnestly recommend them
| to our farmers as No. Fertilizers.
Yours &c, NJ. w. d. HoGsHEAD.

| Messrs. P. B. Hoge g. Bro. Gentlemen Last
| Fall purchased of you several tons Zels Fer
tlizers. l have also used almost every fertilizer
| in the market, and have no hestancy in saying
that it is far superior to any Lhave 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.
