Gentemen:-Tn reply to your enquiry regard.
ing the Alkaline Phosphate purchased OF you, and
manufactured by the Patapsco Guiana Co, vii
say; have not yet threshed my wheat where l
sowed your Alkali q Phosphate, but to all appear
ances think 1t will turn out better than any
other Phosphate used 1 sowed it along side of
Alkaline manufactured by the, and l think
1t will yield fully as much If not more.

conference.-the Alkaline Phosphate pur-
chased Of you last fall, manufactured by the
Patapsco Guano Co., was used on river bottom,
SIS pounds to the acre. and the yield was 20 bush
els per acre. 1 had the same field In wheat IN
1879, without commercial fertilizers, but applied
yield for that year was bushels per acre.
therefore conclude, that the Alkaline Phosphate
has paid for itself several times-besides have a
fine stand OF clover. -.

Gentlemen:-I have just finished threshing my
wheat and fnd the yield to be beyond my expec-
tatlons. I applied the Dissolved Bono Phosphate,
manufactured by the Patspsco Guano Co.-and
purchased Of you.-on q acre lot, at the rate Of
300 pounds 10 the acre, and realized us bushels
from the same, an average OF IS bushels per acre.
The Grange Mixture yielded me IL bushels per
acre, on very thin land, l used 1t beside other
standard Fertilizers costing more money, ana
~ and quantity to the higher priced goods. am
highly pleased with the result Of your Phosphates,
and expect TO use them again this fln.
Yours truly, II. u. BURNER

dentlemen:-In reply TO your enquiry a. to
the results derived from the Dissolved Bone Phos-
phate purchased Of you last fall, manufactured by
the Palapsco Guano 90. cannot be exact, not
having threshed my wheat. used II on corn
ground ll0 pounds per acre, and think the yield
will be from ~ 10 IA bushels per acre while In
the same character OF land (stubble), used 200
pounds OF another Fertilizer, same cost, 70 which
/ added 80 pounds Of hen manure, and feel sure
1 win not make on the latter more than bushels
per acre I used another grade Fertilizer, 200
pounds pes acre with so pounds hen manure,
which I think will make II bushels per acre,
leaving The Dissolved Bone Phosphate far ahead
in results. Yours truly, JNo.w CORP.
