Gentlemen: Alkaline Phosphate pur-
chased Of you last fall, manufacture I by the
PatapscO GuanO Co., was used on a river bottom,
1855 pounds to the acre, and the yield was 90 BUSH
els per acve. / had the same field in wheat IN
1879, without commercial fertilizers, but applied
Hen manure, Blrnyard manure and Plaster; tho
yield for that year was 9 bushels per acre. /
therefore conclude that the AlkaliRe Phosphate
has paid for itself several times-bosidcs have
fine stand Of clover.

Gentlemen:-I have just finished threshing my
wheat and find the yield 70 be beyond my expcc-'
tations. | applied the Dissolved Bone Phosphate,
manufactured by the patapsco Guano Co.--and
purchased of yOu-on a acre lot, at the rate Of
200 pounds to the acre, and realized l1j bushels
from the same, an average Of IS bushels per acre.
The Orange Mixture yielded ne II bushels per
acre, on very thin land, I used It beside other'
standard Fertilizers costing more money, and
unhesitatingly pronounce the yield equal in quail
ty and quantity to the higher priced goods. am
highly pleased with the result Of your Phosphgtcs,
and expec. to use them again this fan.

Gentlemen:-In reply TO your enquiry a. to
the results derived from the Dissolved Bone Phos-
plate purchased Of you last fall, manufactured By
the patapscO GuanO 90. l cannot be exact not
having threshed my wheat. L used II on corn
ground I0pounds per acre, and think the yield
viii be from ~ to IA bushels per acre while I'm
the same character Of land (stubble), used 200
pounds Of another Fertilizer, same cost, to which
| added 80 pounds of hen manure. and feel sure
per acre. l used another grade Fertilizer, 200
pounds per acre, with 80 pounds hen manure,
which think will make ~ bushels per acre,
leaving the Dissolved Bone Phosphate far ahead
In results. Yours truly, JN0.W. CORP.
