EMr. W. A. Tilley, North Catawba, Cald-
well CO., N. c., Nov, "a, 1888, writes; l
used last; spring 800 pounds of "Star
Bland" Special Tobacco Manure tothe
acre, which acted well, making a heavy
growth which yellowed well on the. bib.
| / have used different brands Of fertilizers
during the last fifteen years, and find the
Star Brand" equal to any I ever used.
I do not want any better fertilizer than
your Special Tobacco Manure.
Mr.. J. G. Slaughter, Mill Green, Person
CO. N. G. Dec. Is. 1883, writes: I liked
your "Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure very well, it acted as well as could
be expected. l shall use 1t again.
Do not purchase a common, JOV-grade
fertilizer, because, from its low price, it
may seem to be cheap.
Mr.. John H. Shipp, Durham, N. c.,
Dec. II, 1888, writes: l have used each
the "Star Brand" Guano and the "Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure for sew
eral years past, and they have proved en-
tireIy satisfactory in every instance. l
prefer them to any other fertilizers on my
land.
Mr.. w. L. E. Bullock, Oxford, Gran
vile CO.. n. c., Oct. Ii, 1888, writes [
have used "Star Brand" Special Tobacco
Manure for ten wears with entire success,
and consider it superior to any other
guano l ever used.
It costs as namch money to transport and
apply an inferior fertilizer as it does one
of the most superior quality.
Mr.. W. L. Miles, IIillsdale, Guilford, N.
c., Dec. "a, 1888, writes: | have used
your Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure for the last 7 or 8 years, more or
less, and can say I think it as good or
Letter than amy guano | ever used. I
shall use it ain next year; have used
nothing hut tie "Star Brand" for the
last four years.
Mr.. R. J. Woody, Stovall, Granville CO.,
N. c., Dec. %, 1888, writes: / have been
using the "Star Brand" Special Tobacco
Manure for the past eight or nine years
with satisfactory results. This year my
crop started off we'll, but owing to the
dry weather it was not as good as usual,
but fully as good as / could expect under
UQ6 circumstances
A poor .ferti izer, alaUagS makes a poor
crop, and often makes no ufSp at all. TO
prevent a failure, it is frequently found
necessary to make a second application of
a better fertilizer, at considerable eGtrd eG-
pense, which might have beer avoided by
choosing the best at first.
MI. V. D.. Johnson, Hartland, Caldwell
CO., n. c., Nov. 1888, writes: 1 take pleas
ure in saying that your "Star Brand y
Special Tobacco Manure acted remarkably
well on my crop this, year-7so MUCH SO,
that 1 can heartily recommend it to othersy
assuming that you will, of course, keep
up the grade and quality.
Mr.. Amos J.. Roberts, Barnard, Madison
CO., n. C., Nov .28 1888, writes: I have
used several kinds Of fertilizers until the
last two years, when l have used the
"Star Brand" exclusively, as it suits my
land and crops best. It gives quicker
growth, brighter color, and better body to
to the tobacco.
The best fertilizer is that which pro-
daeagt tie largest crops of the best quality
frunlHfgy given soil, with the smallest ex-
rpendTeG6 f money and labor.

Brand Special Tobacco Manure for sew
eral years, and shall continue to do So
Think the best guano on our market
foEgeneral excellence Too much cannot
be said*4n praise of it.
The application of the best fertilizer
adds greatly to the chances of making 6
crop, and increases ats value when made
Mr.. w. C. Sprinkle, Marshall, Madison

for for several years. I think the "Sta,

well co., n. c.. Nov "a, 1888. writes
The Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma,
nure l purchased last spring gave perfec
satisfaction. Tobacco grew large and vel
lowed fine on the hill, and 1 think i i
fully up to what you recommend it.
