TO FARMERS & PLANTERS, 
Double Refined Poudrette for sate in 
lots to suit customers. This article is sold 
for half the price of other fertilizers, and is 
cheaper for Cotton, Corn. Tobacco, and 
j! Vegetables than any other in the market. 
Price, delivered on board in New York City, 
J $25 per ton. I ask attention to the follow- 
* ing testimonials: 
Charles A. Messenger. Providence Co,, 
R. I., writes : " The Double -refined Pondrette 
I bought of yon has given satisfactory returns, and I con- 
sider it the best of anything I car. use for an early crop." 
Thomas W. Latham, Providence Co., R. I., writes : " I 
would rather have your Double-refinid Pondrette than any 
phosphate I ever used. Where I used it on Potatoes it was 
far ahead of any other manure."' 
L. H. Sheldon. Sup't of the New Jersey State Reform 
School. writes: "'We have used Pondrette for several years 
upon our farm crops, and for the money invested we have 
found nothing that lias done us so much service." 
S. J. Kelly. Burlington Co., N. J., writes: " I used 
Double-refined Pondrette »n Rutabaga Turnips alongside 
of Peruvian Guano and Hen Manure. Where the Pon- 
drette was applied the increase was thirty per cent over 
the othere." 
William H. Cady, Ocean Co., N. J., writes: " I used 
Pondrette on Corn* Street and ?ound Potatoes, Onions, and 
Lima Beans. It brought forward my crops two weeks 
earlier. I think it the best manure' I ever UBed, giving 
belter results than Peruvian Guano, at much less cost." 
Van Antwerp and Van Bcren. Montgomery Co.,N.Y., 
writes : " Pondrette has been used in this locality for ten 
years past, mostly on Corn, and those who have used it say 
they have from i^'to % more Corn by using the Pondrette. 11 
W. F. Gerkin, of Essex Co., N. Y., writes: lt I have 
used the Double-refined Pondrette for the last five years, 
and I consider it the cheapest fertilizer I can buy— giving 
the best results for the cost." 
Milton Strong, Suffolk Co., N. Y., writes: " I gave 
Pondrette a thorough trial this year, using it upon Corn, 
Potatoes, Lima Beans, Tomatoes, and Vines, and I have 
never raised better crops. NyCorn will yield 100 bushels 
of ears per acre, and my garden was the, surprise and ad- 
miration of all who saw it." 
Henry T. Horton, Cheshire Co., N. IL, writes: "I 
find, from experiments made last year, the Double '-refined 
Poudrette is the cheapest fertilizer to use on Tobacco. I 
pul it beside Peruvian Guano with equal cost of both, 
and the Tobacco was 30 per cent better where I used 
Poudrette." 
W. H. Remington, Hartford Co., Ct.. writes : " 1 have 
used Pondrette on Corn, Potatoes, and Tobacco. There 
was but one piece of Corn in the place equal to mine, and 
that had 30 loads of manure per acre and 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 Pondrette for several years on 
Tobacco, and I think it one of the best fertilizers made 
for this crop."

NEW POTATOES. 
To the two popular varieties. JSxtr a Early Vermont 
and Compton's Suipnse, introduced by us last, 
Spring, we take pleasure in adding two new varieties, 
Snovt'ilakc and BrownelPs Beauty, as medium 
sorls maturing between the two, their equal in quality and 
productiveness— and the most beautiful varieties in cultiva- 
tion. The great popularity of the Early Rose. Peerless, and 
others of Brcsec s seedlings first, offered by us, and their 
general adaptation to the various soils and climntes of the 
civilized world, has induced thousands in all parts of the 
country to experiment in raising seedlingB, in hope of pro- 
ducing a better one, a large number of which have been 
sent to us for trial. After being carefully tested by ourselves 
as well as several of the most experienced cultivators io 
the country, the above named varieties have been selected,, 
which we offer to our patrons, fully confident of tbeit 
superiority. 
The following; favorable notice shows the high estimation 
In which BrownelPs Beauty and Extra Early 
Vermont are held In England : 
Gardeners* Chronicle axt> Ageiciti.tural Gazette i 
Offioe. London, England, October 7, lffTS. 
Gentlemen - : Last year you were good enough to send u& 
for trial some of your new kinds of Potatoes. As a large 
trial of over 800 sorts was projected to be carried out at the 
Royal Horticultural Society Garden, at Cbiswick, thiB sea- 
son, I thought the fairest way would be to send your sam- 
ples to be tried with the rest. I sent them under numbers, 
so that no one but myself knew either the names of the 
varieties or the senders. I have now the pleasure of telling 
yon that a First Class Certificate was awarded by 
the judges to your Extra Early Vermont and to 
Brownell's Beauty. No doubt vou will obtain official 
notice of this ere long; meanwhile I thought you would 
like to know how much appreciated your potatoes were. 
I expect the official list of awards will soon be published. 
I am, gentlemen, vour obedient servant, 
(Signed), ' MAXWELL T. MASTERS.
