Extract of a I^etter from Samuel Ridout. 



From what I have seen I am convinced that for rath" 

 er coarse and porous soils, your preparation is prefera- 

 ble, by far, to the best Peruvian Guano used alone. 



I shall (if nothing happen) ^et three tons for my 

 wheat, this fall. I have only about 40 to 50 acres of 

 arable land, and this of the poorest quality, but take 

 great pleasure in its culture, and am endeavoring to 

 improve it, as fast as the profits from it will allow. 1 

 try to give back nearly all tliat it yields- 

 Be pleased to reserve the quantity specified for me, 

 and forward it about the middle of August; however, 

 the captain of the vessel will apprise you of the time. 



A number of my neighbors will apply to you for it 

 in the fall. 1 forgot to mention that a small quantity- 

 was used on some early cabbage, with excellent re- 

 sults. 



Extract of a tetter from Wm. H. Trundle. 



Mr. Sir: — I procured through you, last 



spring, some of the Mani])ulated Guano, compounded 

 by Mr. Reese, of Baltimore, to be used on my corn, 

 and am so much pleased with the present appearance 

 of the crop, that I would like to know if I can be sup- 

 plied this fall, with 18 tons, for my wheat, and at what 

 price. When I gather my corn I will give you the 

 result of my use ot the Guano, if you wish it. By 

 giving the desired information, you will confer a fa- 

 vor. Address — Monocacy, Montgomery Co., Md.
