Dear Sir-You ask how the Super Phosphate which
had of you last spring proved in its use upon my
country place upon the Hudson River.

It's effect was rapid and wonderful 1t far the
cheapest manure of which have any knowledge.
Yours truly, EDWARDS PfERREPONT.

JOHN McARTHUR, Esq, Augusta, Maine.
Sir-I purchased of you last spring., eight barrels
of Bradleys Patent Super Phosphate, and applied it
to the cultivation of potatoes i've 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 to twenty cents
per bushel more than where no Phosphate was used.
In answer to your inquiry whether Phosphate pays
can say raised 100 bushels of potatoes this year
for sale, and can realize 75cents per bushe for them
at Augusta, eight miles from my farm. am conf
dent raised at least 500 bushels for using $50
worth OF Phosphate, and the quality was very much
better. intend to use at least two and half tons
next year.
Yours, &C., LEONARD W. TAYLOR.

New Sharon, Me- April II. 1858.
Messrs. Editors-I have used Bradley's Super
Phosphate of Lime on corn and potatoes for several
years past, to my entire satisfaction. Last year
his Super Phosphate, compared with raised with
barn-yard manure in the same field, and found the
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 grewn
on the rows where 6arn-yard manure was used was
two weeks later, with considerable soft corn, and
none OF the ears filed out to the end the
where the Phosphate was applied.
On potatoes it acted equally as well as it did on
my corn. i think no farmer in Maine should raise
corn or potatoes without Bradley's Phosphate, and
well satisfied that they would be unwilling as
am to do without it.
Yours respectfully, LUTHER CURTIS.

Dear Sir-Moses H. Hussey ESQ.,, OF North Ber-
wick, raised this season 1900 bushels of potatoes,
ing your Super Phosphate of Lime for fertilizer
He says the Phosphate made difference in his crops
OF one half 1000 bushes) worth tbeing noted vare-
from sso worth Of Super phosphate. . He @ thinks
that $500 worth of stable manure would not have
brought so large crop, beside the vast difference in
of in
have come to the same conclusion, and if the stand
ard OF yeur Phosphate kept up, the consumption
VIII increase beyond calculation Our advice to you
is, make the best Phosphate that you cam and there
will be no lack of buyers; but woe to the manuiac

ALBION, Me-, Oct. 8, 1868.
Dear Sir-I have used your Super Phosphate two
years, with very satisfactory results.
In 1857. used one barrel on corn, and 1 am
confident the crop was increased by it, at least two
thirds.
This year 1 used nearly 400 lbs. on one and one
half acres and raised 220 bushels of good merchant
able potatoes, beside eight barrels Of smaller ones
left two rows without Phosphate in three differ-
ent parts of the field, and j found not more than
one-third the quantity produced on six rows 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.
Yours truly JOHN BURRlLL.

:. Dear sir--The super Phosphate bought Of You
piled about 250 pounds per acre around my corn at
hoeing. l used it on twenty rows, and left four

Within few days the corn treated with your Su-
per- Phosphate assumed peculiar richness OF color,
and kept in advance all the season, rpening week
earlier than the other. have great faith in it
