Va, writes January 8th 1880: 81 used your
Complete Tobacco Manure on tobacco last year
L was much pleased with it. 1t made tobacco

made better crop of tobacco from the use of
two tons, on the same land than did from
the use of four or five tons of other fertilizers
The crops are much better in quantity and
qualty than when used more than twice the
quantity of other fertilizers"
Mr.. FIELDING CAGE, of Halifax county, Va.
writes December &c, 1879: 81 used sixteen bags
of your Complete Tobacco Manure, on some so
600 or 80, 200 tobacco hills-sowed in the drill,
and can say without hesitation 1 never had
better stand or better crop. Taking all things
into consideration, with the long and contin-
ued drouth, must say your Star Brand did all
that yop claimed for it, The tobacco seemed
to stand the drouth well, and continued to
grow and ripen well to the last, and after being
cured seemed more gummy and waxy than any
tobacco L have made since the war / have
used nearly all the other guanos and fertilizers
on tobacco, and, according to my Judgment,
the Star Brand Tobacco Manure far surpasses
them ALL

Va, writes, December ID, 1879: oThouph we
had long drouth and the crop suffered very
much, raised the largest tobacco with your

nice on the hill. am very much pleased with
your fertilizer, and would recommend it to all
who want a really good fertilizer
