used last spring 800 pounds of "Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure to the
acre, which acted well, making a heavy
growth which yellowed well on the hill.
[ have used different brands Of fertilizers
during the last fifteen years, and find the
" Star Brand" equal to any / ever used.
I do not want any better fertilizer than
your Special Tobacco Manure.
Mr.. J. G. Slaughter, Mill Green, Person
CO., N. c., Dec. Is, 1888, writes: I liked
your "Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure very we'll, it acted as well as could
be expected. I shall use it again.
Do not purchase a common, l~oU-grGde
fertilizer, because, from its lOw price, it
may seem to be cheap.
Mr.. John II. Shipp, Durham, N. c.,
Dec. IL, 1888, writes: I have used each
the Star Brand" Guano and the "Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure for sew
eral years past, and they have proved en-

prefer them to any other fertilizers on my
land.

your Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure for the last Z or 8 years, more or
less, and can say l think it as good or
better than any guano [ ever used. l

nothing but the "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 well, but owing to the
dry weather it was not as good as usual,
but fully as good as [ could expect under
the circumstances.
A poor fertilizer ,~pla0ays makes a poor
crop, and often. makes no crop at all. To.
prevent a failure, it is frequently found
necessary to make a second application of
a better fertilizer, at considerable ertrG &c
pense, which might have been avoided by
choosing the, best at first.
Mr.. V. D. Johnson, Hart1and, Caldwell
CO., N. c., Nov. 1888, writes: I take pleas
'ure in saying that your "Star Brand"
Special Tobacco Manure acted remarkably
well on, my crop this year-so much so,
that I can heartily recommend it to others,
assuming that you will, Of course, keep
up the grade and quality.
Mr.. Amos J. Roberts, Barnard, Madison
CO., N. C.,FNov.. %, 1888, writes: I have
used several kinds of fertilizers until the
last two years, when / have used the
"Star Brand" exclusively, as it suits my
land and crops best. 1t gives quicker
growth, brighter color, and better body'to
to the tobacco.
The best fertilizer is that which pro-
duces the largest crops of the best quality
from any given soil, with the smallest ex-
penditure of money and labor.
MI. w. R. Hawkins, Corbett, Caswen
Coz N. c., Dec. 9, 1888, writes: 1 have
used your "Star Brand" Special Tobacco
Manure for several years, along side of
other fertilizers, and as yet have found
none to beat it in good or bad seasons.
Mr.. R. T. Ship, Durham CO., N. c., Dec.
20, 1883, writes l have used your Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure for sew
eral years, and shall continue to do so.
Think it the best guano on our market
for general excellence Too much cannot
be said in praise of it.
The application of the best fertilizer
adds greatly to the chances of making a
crop, and Increases Its value when made.
Mr.. W. c. Sprinkle, Marshall, Madison
CO., N. c., Nov. II, 1888, writes: Ny
crop is very good and cured brighter than
for for several years. I think the "Star
Brand is a splendid tobacco manure it
gave me perfect satisfaction.
Mr.. E. H. lilly, North Catawba, Cald-
well CO, N. c., Nov. "a, 1888, writes:
The Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure l purchased last spring gave perfect
satisfaction. Tobacco grew large and yell
loved fine on the hill, and I think it is
fully up to what you recommend it.
