As there are inferior and worthless forms of fertilizer in the market. Prof. Johnson of Connecticut, the oldest State inspector, 
publishes this caution : — 
"The main security of purchasers is in dealing with firms which have an established reputation, and avoiding 'cheap goods' 
offefed by irresponsible parties." 
The Country Gentleman and Albany Cultivator says editorially under the head of " Trustworthy Fertilizers " : — 
"We suppose most readers understand that anything offered by the Bowker Company ... is sure to be excellent of its kind. 
. . . It is emphatically a concern with which it is safe to deal."
