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. I shall con-
tinue to use it as long as I use any fer
t%ilizer, and feeling assured that it will
maintain its present excellence, can re-
commend it to all who want to make fine
yellow tobacco with good body. / will
use it again the coming season. t@1
It islprepared under our personal super
vision and is made of the best materials.

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 have 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.
Whenethe stable or farm-pen manure is
used, it is the best to drill it four or FIVE
weeks beforehand, covering lightly.
It has been in use 20 years, and has
gained a reputation for Excellence sec
ond to none.

1 have used the Star Brand" Special

Cthe " Star Brand y the best and most
reliable tobacco fertilizer.

can recommend the "Star Brand" Spe,
cial Tobacco Manure as being one of the
best fertilizers I ever used. It 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.

land CO., Va, Dec. %, 1888, writes:
have used your "Star Brand" Specia
Tobacco Manure for the last seven years
with good results, except two crops. II
1886, the extreme wet weather injured
my crop very much indeed. My presen
crop is a very poor one, but it is owins
first to the extreme dry, next the extreme
wet weather, which made it impossible
to cure it nice. Last year C188O 1 useC
four brands of popular fertilizers will
good results. But liking your brand thu
best, I decided to use yours alone thi
year. I have no fault to find with you
fertilizer. 1 think it is the best I eve
used, and will continue to use it.
Wherever it has been introduced it j
recognized as among the best Commercia
Fertilizer known.

your letter as regards your Star Brand

, I used 200 pounds and found it proved t.
!, be the best fertilizer I ever used; raise,
{ better tobacco this year than ever before
[ have tried several brands, but find your
, to be superior to all the rest.
Its use for many years on all soils an,
during all seasons has shown beyond an,
doubt that it possesses real and grea
merit.

wick CO., Va, Nov. II, 1883, writes
: have been using your "Star Brand
Special Tobacco Manure for eight or tel
years with entire satisfaction. L used
on tobacco last year at thesrate. of so
pounuS per acre. I4aktnS we appIlca
tons, and made the best crop I eve
raised. / then seeded the land in whea
and harvested nearly eighteen bushel
from one seeded, and I will say to you
as l have said to others, that / never Wi
use anything else as long as you keep
at its prenent standard.

almost all fertilizers.
