De*r Sir: I desire to rive youa brief account of the success of the NORWAY OATS in this section.
r, allow me to thank you most heartily in the name of tho farmers of East Tennessee, a lew of
‘coiae practically acquainted with your Oats this season through tho agency of Dr. J. P. Greves
t Esq., and mj3elf. t* your persevwaaco in propagating and developing their wonderful
amo interested with Tr. Greves last spring in the introduction of forty-five bushels in the
loxville. I confess I tad some misgivings as to their success South, notwithstanding their eu-
’1 other varieties seemed to be thoroughly established in the North, for I had observed
by members of the Now York Farmers’ Clnb as to their being grown successfully in
nu. in oruer. uowever, tomako a full and fair test of what they would do in our climate and soil, fee
led to scatter them amonga number of planters in different localities and on different kind3 of lands.
I am enabled to speak of their success on a variety ef soils, having furnished seed to twelve planters
..„ and adjoining counties. The various crops having now been harvested, and having seen a large por
tion of them since and before the harvesting, I am prepared, to say that .the Norway Oats have proved a*
eminent success, although exceeding my expectations, and that in my opinion they possess all the merits yo»
c’aira for them, and that they aro admirably adapted to the soil and climate of this section.
Most respectfully your*. tllAKLtb ttllJS.

[E SUPPLY OF PERUVIAN GUANO having
. become exhausted, it is necessary for the
planting community to look for a substitute for
this article, so efficacious in promoting and sus
taining the growth of cotton. The combination
of Peruvian Guano and Dissolved Bones has been
fonnd to be the safest and best of all the many ar
ticles offered, and we are confident that in an or
dinary season, to use the language of Mr. David
Dickerson, can never fail. In presenting onr AM
MONIATED to the planter, we but give tho com.
binatiou in a form ready for immediate use, thur
saving the cost and trouble of manipulation and
securing uniformity ia quality.
The practical results obtained from the articles
shipped by ns, prove them to be superior to all
otliere, and in a trade extending through every
portion of the cotton growing regions, and, during
the past five years, consuming thousands of tons,
we are yet to hear of the first complaint.
Iu our manufacture we discard all mineral phot-
phates, and rely entirely upon

I take pleasure in certifying that I witnessed on last Tuesday tho operation of thrashing tho crop of
Ranudell Norway Oats, produced on ono aero of the farm adjacent to the University, anil known as the agri
cultural College farm, and that tho yield far exceeded anything which I have over known in the history ol
S uthern agriculture. The land was good upland and has not been manured, that I am aware of, for a num

Sim-^Having; for the past thirty years of tny lifo. watched with interest the growth and pros
perity of the country in the development of now inventions, new appliances, and consequently increasing
sources ol supply, 1 could not but desire an opportunity to test the merits of the Gray Norway Oats, origi

to sow for me. with a view of testing th«m in onr soil and climate, and while growing and harvestinc they
have been the wonder and admiration of all who have seen them. They were sown 15th to ri'tii of March,
and tho yield is three times greater than that of other oats in the same land.. Parties who have not hesitated
to pronounce them a humbug are now willing to accord to them all you claim. They overcome a difficulty in
the production of small grains in this country on our rich lands, being capable of theh.ghest culture on deep

Respectfully yours,
JAMES M. TOOLE.
A Well Known Tennessee Farmer Responds.
August 12.1869.
I certify that I cultivated thirty-one acres of Norway Oats, the present season, on my taroi near Con-
wvj .1 I iravo them tho same cultivation and tho samo soil that I gave my black oats, and the result has been
that tho ** Ramsdell Norwajs” yielded more than double mv black oats. The stalks pro very largo and
strop* and tho heads yield more than double tho number of kernels of the ordinary varieties. I am of tho
opinion these oats arc well adapted to tho soil and climate of the South generally, end that our farmers
should not fail to raise them, nnd on their richest soil if they choose, ns the stalfes are sufficiently strong te
prevent lodging. I hojje the farmers in this section will not fail to secure seed, at an early «jvy. f;r their gen
eral introduction. I snail cultivate no other variety of oats on my farm. G. W. MARB1.
JL Prominent Mississippi Planter Sndorses Them.
Capt. H. A. Rice, widely known in the South, says: . A .
I sowed one bushel of Norway Oats on about three-fourths of an acre. Thovcarae up and grew finely.
In fact, the prospect for 75 bushel? from the sowing was very flattering, until they began to heaU out, when
the Tats made an attack upon them, and despite all all my attempts to rout them they destroyed all except
t> of about two feet around the edge of tho patch, which I harvested, making only a little over four
bushels. I have several heads over 18 inches in length with stalks over five feet high. I am satisfied that
the heads would average over twelve inches. The stalks wore nearly as largo as my little finger, and very

am fully convinced that the ICorwiiy Oats are as good as they are represented to be by Mr. Ramsdell. I

Over One Hundred and Fifty Bushels from an Acre.
The following two letters are from one of the most prominent and widely known planters in the South-
Chattanooga, Tenn., July 31,1869.
^AR^B:^^bout"thefirst of February last, I ordered from your ngents in New York five bushels of
yen’* Norway Oats. I received them about tho first of February, and sowed them immediately on five acres
of Tennessee River laDd. and cut them about the 15th of July. I think when thrashed I shall have about 149
bushels to the acre. Tho average height of the oats was over 5 feet 6 inches. Tho heads will average from
18 to 22 inches in length, with from five to mx hundred grains to th© head. The representations in your cir
cular of last year fall fsir below my crop of this year; in fact, they surpass anything on this Continent, and
are well adapted to this climate and roil. I am satisfied they are an improvement of vast importance to the
country. Very respectfully, etc. J0HN L . DIV INE,
SECOND LETTER. „ „ _
Chattanooga, Tenn., August 8, 1869.
Dkar^Sib:° Since*my last, I thrashed my crop. They have turned out something more than one hwn
dred and fifty bushels of oats to tho acre. I tried adoseu sheafs taken as they come from the stack: tho
yield wa« four bushels and one pint to the dozen, or over one-fourth bushels to the shear. Owing to tho ban I
weather one-third of my oats froze out. We have had the longest and most disastrous drought we over had
in 1 his country, having no rain, scarcely, since May first. If we had had an ordinary season, I would un
doubtedly have made two hundred bushels per acre. If I live, next season, I will give your oats a fair test.
I do not write this for advertising or publication, as I have none for sale, what I spare will be grataitous to
my friends. I believe I can excel anything of the oat kind in the world with this
Respectfully yours. JOHN I*. DlVIhE.
Ono Hundred Per Cent. Better.
Knoxville. Tenn., August 12, 1S& _
Gentlemen : I baTo no hesitancy in saying that, after a careful examination of the Norway Gats, made
whilst growing in the field, and ainco harvested. I am satisfied that their introduction will be attended with
great benefit to onr farmers. The increase in the yield U fully 100 per cent, over the other varieties and the
auality is sIso better. The great strength of thestraw preventing, to a great extent, lodgine, especially adapts
these oats to this latitude where severe wind storms are not unusual during harvest season.

Fully Up to Expectation.
Middleton, Baltimore Co., Md., July 31, 1969.
I purchased of you, last spring, ono-half bushel of your new Oats, and thesame were sown about theloth of
April on about half an aero of ground in a fair state of cultivation. The result is fully up to my expectations
of this grain from your description of them. Tho soring was backward and cold weather continued until
May 10th, which of course kept back tho oats, but aftor once started they grew rapidly. My neighbor farm
ers admired them much, and estimate the yield from the half bushel at So bushels. The yield would have
been much heavier if sown in a clear patch. I put them in a peach orchard and tho ground was t<“> much
shaded. I heartily endorse and recommend them. _ nt ,„ T

Dear Sirs : In reference to those Norway Oats, we prepared one acre to suit ourselves in a field of 60
acres of different kinds of oats, and wohave cutoff8.0d0 pounds of Norway Oats and straw. It is now stacker
up and we can’t tell what tho yield will be until thrashed. Wo enclose a piece of tho butt or lower end or
one of the stalks. They grew_stx feet high on an average, with broad leaves resembling corn blades, and
i. They grew six feet high on an average, with broad leaves resembling corn
heads about ono foot long. Wo had an excellent season for oats and fine crops, but tho Norways wero_much
the best. We propose to show what we do to all our farmers who wish to see, and then let them think and
act for themselves. The way to Heaven is open to all tho world, but very few take tho trouble to steer by
that compass, and it is so with farmers. ... .... . , ...
We have, at this time, a splend d crop of cotton : our neighbors have very poor, indifferent ones, bnt if it
suits them, being none of our business, wo shall try to not lose much sleep over it.

.. — , . . _ little conversation with
some ef my neighbors resulted in our ordering 16' bushels. The proper timo to sow here is last of February,
butowingto extremecoM weather wo were two or three weeks late. The.y weroputondiflerentfarmswitbin
a range of twenty-five miles of Knoxville. Two farmers put it in by drilling, the others broadcast, the 169
bushels covoring 180 acres in all. The crops aro now harvested but not thrashed. The result thus far ascer
tained may safely be summed up as follows: ...
1st. The largest part was seeded with one bushel to the acre, some three pocks, and in one instance half
2d. The growth wa3 rapid, roots striking deep, and putting up often as many as twenty stalks from caeb
ECCt 3d. The height of stalks was from feur and a half to six feet, heads from ten to twenty inches long, leaves
half an inch to one inch wide. ......
•1th. The united testimony of the farmers who grew our crops is. that they will yield more than twice as
much as any other varieties known here. ... . . _
5th. The kernel is well filled, the hull thin, and the flour very white.
6tb. In consequence ot the site and strength of the stalk it can bo grown on the richest land without
dancer of lot Ring, which cannot be said of any other oat known in the South.
7tb. We are satisfied that not over three pecks should be sown te the acre, while by drilling one-half
^jBconeltiri™, allow me to say that certain member* of the Farmers’ Club of New York have done yo«
and us great injustice in representing that the Norway Oats could not be grown at the Sonth successfully.
None of them could have based their opinion upon a knowledge of facts, when it is well known here that
thus far all good varieties heretofore grown at the North have succeeded equally well here, while the Nor
way* have exceeded our highest expectations.

Would not Fart with his Seed at any Price.
Lexington, N. C., August 1, 1869.
Sirs : I sowed 16 pounds of your Norway Oats, half on a poor piece of land by the side of some black
spring oats, and the balance on somo rich tobacco land. The first were at least a third higher than the oth-
•rsby their side, and donble the kernels on the heads. The drought damaged our oat crop seriously: ia
fact, it is about a failure, bnt I find on measuring that I have 1* bushels. I am so well pleased with them
that I shall sow a good part of them again, and would not part with it for any money.
Yours respectfully, ABRAM CROSS.
Forty-five Bushels from One-half Bushel of Seed.
Newburgh, Md., July 29, 1869.
Gentlemen; I purchased half a bushel of your Norway Oats from Jones & Clark, New York. They
were irjured by thedrought toaconsiderable extent, butlfind on measuring that I havoa yield of forty-
five bushels from the half bushel of seed. They ripen about tho same time a3 the common oat and are much
heavier. Very respectfully yours, P. A. L. CONTKE.
Perfectly Satisfied.
M. Ferguson. Crains Creek, N. C., writes, August 12.1869: The season hers has been most unfavorable
for oats, and I put them od poor gTound. I have not thrashed them yet. but it is sufficient to say I am per
fectly satisfied with the Norway Oats. I find there is from three to four times as many kernel* on the heads
of Norway* as there are on tho other varieties. We generally sow in the fall season. Will it do to sow these
*** ytmL-Ws never have known of their being sown in tho fall, bnt we can seo no reason why they will not
do well and even better in some sections.

S. H. Harris, Knoxville, Tenn.. writes, August 2,1869: Ihavojust harvested 17 acres ofyour Norway
Oats and have them now in barn. I have been a farmer for 35 years, during which timo I have tested a great
many varieties of oats, and I can truly say that I have never seen any oat in the South that will oomnete
with yours in productiveness and stout, heavy growth. I consider them peculiarly adapted to the soil of the
South. I am satisfied that they will yield at least double that of any other variety known to us, on the same
soil and with the came culture.
The above are a few of many hundred letters received. The demand for this Seod is now so great that
it is safe to say, that many orders will have to be returned unfilled. Those desiring Seed should order at
once. The a-surances of a large demand next season for Seed will make this the most profitable crop the
farmer can grow. A few acres will prove a rich h arvest. Judging from the result of the past year, we be
lieve 8500 would be a low estimate of tho profits of a single acre. The demand is certain.
