well CO., N. G., Nov,t24 1883, writes; |
used last spring 800 pounds ot Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure 90 the
acre, which acted well, making a heavy
growth which yellowed well on the hill.
I have used different brands OF fertilizers
during the last fifteen years, and find the
+" Star Brand" equal to any I ever used.
T 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 well, it acted as well as could
be expected. I shall use it again.
Do not purchase a common, IOaO-grode
fertilizer, because, from its toU price, it
may seem to be cheap.
Mr.. John II. Ship, 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-
tirely satisfactory in every instance, L
prefer them to n other fertilizers on my
land.
Mr.. w. L. E. Bullock, Oxferd, 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.
l. 1t costs as much money to transport and
apply an inferior fertilizer as it does one
Of the most superior quality.
Mr.. W. L. Miles, Hillsdale, Guilford, n.
c., Dec. "a, 1888, writes: [ haveeu used
your I" Star Brand " Special Tobacco Ma
nure for the last Tor s years, more or
less, and can say I think 1T as good or
better than any guano / yer used. |
shall use it again next year; have used
nothing but the ".Star Brand" for the
last four years.
MI. R. J. Woody, StoEall, 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 web, but owing to the
dry weather it was mot as good as usual,
but fully as good as I could expect under
the circumstances. .
A poor FERTILIZER 0SwGysS makes a poor
crop, and.0ften makes 40 cropsat all. To
Eprevent a jfailUre, it is frequently found
necessary to make a seeoad application of
a better fertilizer, at considerable erhU eT-
penSe, which might have been avoided by
choosing the best at first.
Nj. V. D. Johnson, Hartladd, Caldwell
CO., N. c., Nov. 1888, writes: / take pleas
ure in saying that your "Star Brand y
well on my crop this year-so much so,
that | can heartily
assuming that you will, OF course, keep
up the grade and qualify. .E
Mr.. Amos J. Roberts, Barnard, Madison
CO., n. c., Nov. q, 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, 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-
penditere of money and labor.
Mr.. w. R. Hawkins, Corbett, Caswell
CO., n. G., Dec. 8, 1888, writes: I 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.. B. 7. Ship, Durham CO., N. c., Dec.
20, 1888, writes: l have used your Star
Brand" Special Tobacco Manure for sew
eral gears, and shall continue to do so.
Think it the best guano on orH 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 ats value when made.
Mr.. w. G. Sprinkle, Marshall. Madison
CO., N. c., Nov. IL, 1888, writes: Ny
crop is very good and cured brighter than
for for several years. l think the "Star
Brand" is a splendid tobacco manure; it
gave me perfect satisfaction.
Mr.. E. Il. lilly, North Catawba, Cald-
well CO., N. c., Nov. "a, 1888. writes:
The, Star Brand" Special Tobacco Ma
nure | purchased last spring gave perfect
satisfaction. Tobacco grew large and vel
lowed fine on the hin, and I think It is
J tuliV Up to what you recommend it.
