Cumberland super-Phosphate

cumberland eupef-RhOSphate
Still maintains
MOST DECIDED SUPERIORITY,
Which is manifest both in
Larger Results and i'm Greater Perma-
nemcy of Effects.
Its superior efficacy the first year due to its larg
er per centage OF soluble phosphoric acid and Of am
monia and its greater permanency of action is due
OF pure raw bone in line powder added as a dryer,
in place of the muck, plaster, loan ether cheap
substances used as dryers in ordinary Super phos
phates This alone adds fifteen dollars per ton to its
value, and this is so much and above all which
isused to supply soluble phosphoric acid.
Taking all its constituents and proportions into
view, it Is deemed to be of double the value Of such
as are made from mineral phosphdtes or the So
called South Carolina Coprotites or fossil phos-
about the same price at which the genuine and SUI
peror article made by the Cumberland Bone Com
Testimonials of its efficacy can be seen in large
numbers at the office of the Company; such es one
from james PhiDney Esq, Of Gotham, who last
year mansred piece Of land all with barn ma
well spread, to each hill. Where the Cumbel land
Super-phosphate was applied, the yield aas SIX
sized surface GAGE sic bushels aci the barn ma
Gt0ne and the latter were poorer also and two
weeks later. Those grown on the Cumberland Bone
C0mpany's Super-ph0sphate, brought dollar
per bushel.
Some dealers refuse to sell the Cumberland Su-
per-ph0sphate, and decry its merits because they
can make larger profits articles which they can
buy at lower price, and which cost great deal
less to manufacture, and thus furnish large mar
gin to pay for costly advertising and putting and
the abors of plausible agents to push off their wares
but all not thus deceived nor willing to deceive
others, consequently it is
Sold by Many Principal Dealers i'm Fer
iiliZers!
If you do not find it at home, tell your traders to
get it, or send your orders direct to the
CUMBERLAND BONE COMPANY.

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.
DEING informed that report is circulated that
ID have bought largely of Bradley's Super Phos-
Phate and prefer it to that made by the Cumberland
Bone Company, desire the error to be corrected.
To explain more fully, let me say that use sew
eral hundred tons yearly in my business of Corn
Packing, most OF it to supply to farmers who grow
corn for me. am also preparing myself this year
to grow some three hundred acres, for which the
Cumberland Super-Phosphate will be the principal
dressing. But some farmers have used Bradleys
and like it, and some desire to try both. To accom-
modate such persons, and to give any their choice
l purchased some of Bradley. 1 have used the Cum
berland more largely than any other purchaser,
every year since the Company began to manufac-
ture, and prefer it to all other brands.
think farmers are being imposed upon in having
spurious and inferior articles urged and almost
forced upon them, and have not felt warranted in
encouraging farmers who grow corn for me to buy
any other sorts than the two named above, giving
the preference to the Cumberland.
