Charles A. Messenger. Providence Co. 
R. I., writes : " The Double-refined Poudrette 
I bought of you has <,'iven satisfactory returns, and I con- 
eider it the hest of anything I can use. for an early crop." 
Thomas W. Latham, Providence Co.. R. I.,' writes : " I 
would rather have your Double-refined PouUrette than any 
fdiosphate I ever used. Where I "used it on Potatoes it was 
ar ahead of any other manure. " 
L. H. Sheldon. Sup't of the New Jersey State Reform 
School, writes : "We have used Poudrette for several years 
upon our farm crops. and for the money invested we have 
found nothing that, has done us so much service." 
S. .7. Kelly. Burlington Co., N. J., writes: "I used 
Doable-refined Poudrette on Rutabaga Turnips alongside 
of Peruvian Guano and Hen Manure. Where the Pou- 
drette was applied the increase was thirty per cent over 
the others." 
William IT. Cadt, Ocean Co., N. .T., writes: •' I used 
Poudrette on Corn, Sweet and round Potatoes, Onions, and 
Lima Beans. It brought forward my crops two weeks 
earlier. I think it the hest manure I ever used, giving 
belter results than Peruvian Guano, at much less cost." 
Van Antwerp and Van Biiren. Montgomery Co..N.Y., 
writes : " Poudrette has been used in this locality for ten 
years past, mostly on To™, and those who have used it say 
they have from >£ to S more Corn by nsing the Poudrette." 
W. F. Gerkin, of Essex Co., N. Y., writes: "I hnve 
used the Doable-refined Poudrette for the last five years, 
and I consider' it the cheapest, fertilizer I can buy— giving 
the hest results for the cost." 
Milton Strong, Suffolk Co., N. Y., writes: " I gave 
Poudrette a thorough trial this year, using it upon Corn, 
Potatoes, Lima Beans, Tomatoes, and Vines, and I have 
never raised better crops. My Corn will yield 100 bushels 
of ears per acre, ami my garden was the surprise and ad- 
miration of all who saw it." 
Heniiy T. Horton, Cheshire Co., N. H., writes: "I 
And, from experiments made last year, the Double-refined 
Poudrette ie the cheapest fertilizer to use on Tobacco. I 
put it beside Peruvian Guano with equal cost of both, 
and the Tobacco was 30 per cent better where I used 
Pondrelte." 
W. H. Remington, Hartford Co., Ct., writes: " I have 
used Pondrelte on Corn, Potatoes, and Tobacco. There 
was hut one piece of Corn in the place equal to mine, and 
that had 30 loads of manure per acre anil mine none. The 
Tobacco started as soon as set and grew luxuriant." 
Wm. S. Pomeroy, of Hartford Co., Ct., writes : " I have 
used the Double-refined Poudrette for several years on 
Tobacco, and I think it one of the best fertilizers made 
for this crop."
