JOHN MERRYMAN A CO., Baltimore, numerated for the expenditure incurred in the pur chase. (From L. W. R. Blair, Camden, S. C.) A protracted drought prevented the cotton I plan ted with your Ammoniated Dissolved Bones from getting out ot the ground until early in June, It grew off very rapidly and promises to surpass cotton which I planted and had to come up early in May, on which-wasjapplied three first class fertilizers. Though much younger and planted under no more favorable circumstances, the cotton where your arti cle was used promises to excel either of the others.— Its effects are certainly very satisfactory. (From T. H. Blount,‘Washington, N. C.) It is impossible for me to give any decided opinion as to {he fuß merits the Dissolved Bones, beyond the general statement that up to this time its effects on all the varied characters of my soil (sandy, peaty and clay loam) is very flattering and altogether think it gives me more satisfaction than either the Peruvian Guano or the Peruvian Gu ano, Dissolved Bones, and Plaster combind, the quantity applied per acre being the same of each. (From J. D. McConnel, Hinds Cos., Miss). I would have written earlier, but desired to give the Ammoniated Dissolved Bones a thorough test.— It has been used by myself and some neighbors on gardens and corn, but most extensively on cotton. — The results of its use have been more than satisfacto ry. Gardens have produced better than from any other fertilizer. Where used on corn in separate and detached rows to test its virtues, the good results can be plainly perceived at the distance of a quarter of a mile. Those who have tried it on cotton have but one opinion, that there is nothing that will develope such results, increasing the product from 100 to 2UO per cent, in quantity, and from 25 to 50 in quality, causing it to mature from two to three weeks earlier. (From Col. J. W. Spain, Brooks Cos., Ga.) I.think you are perfectly safe in recommending the Ammoniated Dissolved Bones as highly as you do.— 1 have never tried it before this season, and my ex perience with it leads me to believe that it is the best in the market. That which lam using has just ex- Serienced a trying test from one of the severest roughts we have nad for many years. During the entire dry weather the cotton has kept a fine color and grown rapidly. I look for a much more rapid growth, now that we have had fine rains. The rows where I did not apply the fertilizer were carefully marked, but the marks were unnecessary as the arti cle shows for itself. You recollect I bought Peruvi an Guano, Dissolved Bones and Plaster of you at the same time. I mixed these at the rate of 100 pounds each of the two former and 50 pounds of Plaster. I am glad to say this so far has given perfect satisfac tion.* My largest cotton is where I used this mix ture, though it was planted a week sooner than that where I used the Ammoniated Dissolved Bones. 1 used them side by aide in the same field and can see the difference in color in favar o l the Ammoniated.— I anticipate the results of the latter preparation will be much better than the mixture for the following reason. In this section we generally get. the weed arge enough, but what we w ant is something to pro SOITTHF.RN ( ULTIVATOR—ADVERTISE vIFATS. duce the fruit and prevent shedding. This I think*! the Ammoniated Dissolved Bones will come nearer doing than the mixture, as the amount of Phosphoric * acid and Lime is greater in the former than in latter. (From R. H. Hardaway, Thomas Cos., Ga.) lam using five different kinds of fertilizers to test them. Your ammoniated Dissolved Boner leaves the others far behind. All who purchased. from yo«* are well satisfied. (From J. T. Robinson, Newton Cos., Ga.) The Ammoniated Dissolved Bones which 1 applied to my wheat last fall, doubled my crop or more. lam well pleased with it on cotton aud corn. (From David Lockhart, Bibb Cos., Giw.) From the present annearance of rnv crop where n applied the Ammoniated Dissolved Bones, I aar bet-. ter pleased than with any fertilizer I have ewer used. My neighbors have decided that it is doings extraor dinarily well. (From U. A. Rice, Twiggs Cos., Ga.) All who have used the Ammoniated Dissolved Bones, in this county, are highly pleased w ith the re sults so far. They will use no other fertilizer during the next season. (From Wm. M. Kinard, Newberry Cos., S. C.) I app ied from 250 to COO pounds to the aore of the Ammoniatea Dissolved Bones to my cotton and the prospect at present is very flattering for a good yield. Where I applied your article the cotton is more ad- I vanced than where other fertilizers were used, and I J am of the opinion that your preparation is one of the M best for cotton and small crops. I (From E. H. Bobo, Spartenhurg Cos., S. C.) I am glad to state that, tvbere I applied the Am moniated Dissolved Bones, my cotton is growing as w r ell as 1 could desire, considering the season, if it holds out to maturity as w r ell as it has done, to this—, time, I shaii be happy to report myself perfectly sat isfied at the end ot the year. (From Jas. U. Blount, Jones Cos., Ga.) I applied vour Ammoniated Dissolved Bones in quantities of 200 pounds to the acre. Sdme rows were left without any application as an experiment. The plant is six times larger where the fertilizer is than in the rows without it. It is too early to make a satisfactory estimate of its value, but of the various fertilizers used in the county, I think it far the best from present prospects. (From D. F. Bryan, Randolph Cos., Ga.) The Ammoniated Dissolved Booos I bought of you last spring has given me entire satisfaction where I applied 200 to 250 pounds to the acre, The cotton is at least three times as good as where none was used. lam satisfied that I shall use no other fertili zer duriug the coming season. (From Milton Waldrup, Newton Cos., Ga.) The Amm miated Dissolved Bones, which I pur- ‘ chased trorn you last fall through Mr. A. Livingston, I applied to wheat and cotton. My wheat crop was . doubled by the application, and the growing cotton ©xop is everything I could desire.
