4av Geo. g. Price,
DEAR Sir II am pleased to answer your en-
quirles in regard to my experience with Phos-
pilates, as l have used them FOR the past four
years, including the principal leading varieties
sold IN this section, and generally with good re-
suits. Both experience and observation of my
neighbors operations lead me to give decided
preference to Baugh's, which has, think peculiar
merit in in it's application to Grass. Last fall
was induced to try other varieties to the neglect
Of Baugh's, but find it was to my great loss,
and for the future shall use it alone as I am
satisfied it is the best. My father gives it the pref
erence over all others.
The durability of the effects of Baugh. is we'll
seen in the field of neighbor, where FIVE years
ago it was used by the side of Peruvian Guano,
the effect of Baugh's over the Guano is well and
distinctly marked to the present time, and will
doubtless continue 80 for many years. The effects
of the latter have entirely disappeared.
