Star Brand.

N. c., Dec. Ii, 1888, writes: l have been
using your " Star Brand Special Tobacco
Manure for the past eight years IN com
pany with other high grade fertilizers,
and have this to say AS far as my expe-
rience is concerned, I consider it the best
fertilizer offered to the public for pro-
ducing fine, yellow, leafy tobacco, with
good body, apply it in the hill, using from
200 to 300 pounds per acre, which [ think
enough for any fair land. [ shall con
tinue to use it as long as I use any fer
tilizer, and feeling assured that 1t Will
maintain its present excellence, can re-
commend it to all who want to make fine
yellow tobacco with good body. I will
use it again the coming season.
It is prepared under our personal super
vision, and is made of the best materials.
Mr.. McA. Rogers, Hot Springs, Madi-
son CO., n. c., Dec. II, 1888, writes: |
have given your "Star Brand" Special
Tobacco Manure a fair test with other
brands, and find it to be equal-in fact,
preferable to any 1 nave ever used for
quick growth and fine texture. The very
thing we desire in growing bright to-
| bacco.
Mr.. E. J. Montague, Allensville, Per-
son CO., N. c., Dec. 8, 1888, writes: We
use the "Star Brand" Special Tobacco
Manure in the drill with stable manure,
200 pounds to the acre without the stable
manure give about the same results.
When the stable or farm-pen manure IS
used, it is the best to drill it four or five
weeks beforehand, covering lightly.
l.. It has been in use 20 years, and has
gained a reputation for Excellence Sec
ond to none.
Mr.. A. B. J. Martin, Leaksville, Rock
ingham CO., N. c., Dec. Is, 1888, writes:
T have used the "Star Brand" Special
Tobacco Manure for ten years, and have
tried almost every other brand that has
been sold in this county during that time
by the side of yours, and have found it
(the Star Brand y the best and most
reliable tobacco fertilizer.
Mr.. w. S. Lawson, Hot Spring, Madi-
son CO., N. c., Nov. 81, 1883, writes: I
can recommend the "Star Brand Spe-
cial Tobacco Manure as being one of the
best fertilizers I ever used. 1t had not
a fair chance this year. but it has done
splendid work, and is far ahead of any,
thing in this country.
Crops raised with it bring the HIGH
EST average Prices in the markets of
Virginia and North Carolina.
Mr.. J. J. Grasty, Clyde, Haywood CO.,
n. c., Dec. l, 1888, writes: 1 used the
" Star Brand" Special Tobacco Manure
last spring and I am satisfied with it. I
used other guanos by the side of it, but
liked the Star Brand" best. I expect
to use it again mex spring.
Mr.. j.. w Smith, Reidsville, Rocking
ham CO., N. c., Nov. 10, 1888, writes: I
have used your "Star Brand" Special
Tobacco Manure this year, and find it
equal, if not superior, to any other brand
, [ know of, as a tobacco fertilizer.
} Enjoys the confidence and constant
patronage Of many of the best planters
and farmers in the South.
MI. B. G. Forlines, Overland, Meck1en-
} land CO., Va, Dec. %, 1888, writes: I
have used your "Star Brand" Special
Tobacco Manure for the last seven years
+ with good results, except two crops. In
1886, the extreme wet weather injured
my crop very much indeed. My present
crop is a very poor one, but it is owing
first to the extreme dry, next the extreme
wet weather, which made it impossible
to cure it nice. Last year Q880 I used
four brands Of popular fertilizers with
good results. But liking your brand the
. best, I decided to use yours alone this
=, year. I have no fault to find with your
: fertilizer. I think it is the best l ever
) used, and will continue to use it.
Wherever it has been introduced tits
recognized as among the best Commercial
Fertilizer known.
Mr.. G. w. Ebbs, Lynch, Madison CO.,
N. c., Nov. 26, 1888, writes In reply to
your letter as regards your Star Brand "
Special Tobacco Manure, would say that
I used 200 pounds and found it proved to
be the best fertilizer [ ever used; raised
better tobacco this year than ever before.
[ have tried several brands, but find yours
to be superior to all the rest.
It's use for many years on all soils and
during all seasons has shown beyond n
doubt that it possesses real and great
merit.
f. Mr.. w: s. Thomas, Jonesboro, Bruins
wick CO., Va, Nov. II, 1888, writes: 1
have been using your "tStar Brand"
Special Tobacco Manure for eight or ten
years with entire satisfaction. I used5it
on tobacco last year at the rate of 800
pounds per acre, making two applica-
tons, and made the best crop I ever
raised. I then seeded the land in wheat
and harvested nearly eighteen bushels
from one seeded, and I will say to you,
as I have said to others, that I never will
use anything else as long as you keep,it
at its prenent standard.
Only needs to be brought more promi-
nently to the notice of consumers to
secure their patronage to the exclusion of
almost all fertilizers.
Mr.. Nathan Marley Barnard, Madison
CO., NC, Dec. ID, 1888, writes: I find
that where I applied the "Star Brand"
Special Tobacco Manure the tobacco
grew faster and of finer texture than
other fertilizers used. It is an excellent
article, I think, and unsurpassed by any
, thing that L have tried. r.
It's very high grade, fine condition, and
low price commend it t. those farmers
who want to use the best fertilizer for
the above crop.
