Mr.. W. A. FiIley, North aatswba, Cald-
well CO., N. G., Nov, "a, 1888, writes: l
used last spring 300 pounds of "Star
| Brand" Special Tobacco Manure to the
| acre, which acted we'll, making a heavy
| growth which yellowed we'll On the hill.
[ have used different brands Of fertilizers
during the last fifteen years, and find the
Star Brand" equal to any l ever used.
I do not want any better fertilizer tina
your Special Tobacco Manure. 49,
Mr.. J. G. Slaughter, Mill Green, Person
CO., N. c., Dec. 18, 1888, writes: L liked
your Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure very we'll, it acted as well as could
be expected. | shall use it again.
Do not purchase a common, ~oa0-grode
fertilizer, because, from its lOO price, it
may seem to be cheap.
Mr.. John H. Shipp, Durham, N. c.,
Dec. II, 1888, writes: [ have used each
the "Star Brand" Guano and the "Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure for sew
eral years past, and they have proved en-
| tirely 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. ID, 1888, writes: I
have used "Star Brand".Special Tobacco
Manure for ten years with entire success,
and consider it superior to any other
guano I ever used.
It costs as much money to transport and
apply an inferior fertilizer as it does one
of the most superior quality.
MI. W. L. Miles, Hillsdale, 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
better than any guano | ever used. l
shall use it again next year; have used
nothing but the "Star Brand" for the
last four years.
Mr.. R. J. Woody, Stovall, Granville CO.,
N. c., Dec. %, 1888, writes: I 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 I could expect under
the circumstances.
A poor fertilizer dla0ays makes a poor
crop, and often makes nj crop at all. To
prevent a failure, tits frequently found
necessary to make a second: application of
a better fertilizer, at considerable ertrG er-.
pense, which might have been avoided by
choosing the best at first. AsD -
,s Mr.. V. D. johnson, Hartland, Caldwell
CO., N. c., Nov. 1888, writes: I take pleas
HFe in saying that you. "Star Brand"
Special Tobacco Manure acted remarkably
wellso m my crop this year-soS 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., Nov. %, 1888, writes: I have
used several kinds of fertilizers until the
last two years, when I have used the
"Star Brand" exclusiyelyf as it suits my
land and crops best. 1 tSgives quicker
growth, brighter colon andbetter 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-
fpehditure of money and labor.
Mr.. W. R.. Hawkins, Corbett,, Caswel
co. N. c., Dec,x9, 1888, writes: I have
usedayour "Star Brand" Special Tobacco
Manure for several years, along side of
other fertilizers, and as yet have found
none to beat itin good or bad seasons.
Mr.. R. T. Ship, DurhamIco., N. c., Dec.
20, 1888, writes: I 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. G. 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 24ri 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 1 think it is
t'is1y up to whSt you recommend it.
