I have used the past season on my tobacco land, Bradley’s High 
Grade Tobacco Manure, and in part have used Bradley's Complete 
Manure for growing my potatoes, and from each brand of these, 
your high grade goods have received satisfactory results. 
My tobacco started off much quicker than it did last year when 
another brand was used, was of larger growth, being fine in quality, 
silky and elastic. 
With Bradley’s Complete Manure I tried an experiment side by 
side with goods of two other manufacturers. 
On one plat the crop was so poor no account was kept of it; 
but on the other two plats the yield, in comparison, was greatly in 
favor of the “ Bradley,” it producing certainly double the potatoes 
that the other fertilizer did.

For four years I have used 600 lbs. annually of Bradley’s Com- 
plete Manure for Potatoes and Vegetables for potatoes on one half 
acre, and have had good crops each season. The yield this year was 
89 bushels, 78 of which were salable. No other manure used or any 
applied to the land in a dozen years previously. The soil was high 
ground, rather hard, and not naturally good.

We have used Commercial Fertilizers nearly ever since they have 
come into use; and very many kinds. From previous experience we 
decided last year to use principally for growing our crops Bradley’s 
Complete Manure for Potatoes and Vegetables, and were successful 
enough to make the same decision again this year. We like this 
brand of goods for use in the garden, and for growing potatoes, and 
as we plant our potatoes with a potato planter, we find that Bradley’s 
Complete Manure passes through the machine very nicely.

Have used the various grades of Bradley’s Fertilizers several years. 
This season applied 800 pounds of your Potato and Vegetable to one 
fourth acre that was in buckwheat last ye^r, with no fertilizer, except 
ninety pounds Phosphate. Planted potatoes middle of April and har- 
vested eighty bushels. In midsummer set out cabbages between the 
rows and sold thirty barrels for $r per barrel. Receipts from the 
two crops on the one fourth acre this season were $90.

For eleven years I have made an extensive use of Bradley’s Fer- 
tilizers, with those of many other well-known manufacturers, and 
have always found Bradley’s to be equal to the best and superior to 
most of them. Plowed last .spring z l / 2 acres that was in grass nine 
years, and top-dressed six seasons previously with Bradley’s Complete 
Manure for Top-Dressing Grass and Grain, usually getting two tons 
of hay per acre. Applied a good dressing of barn manure turned 
under, and used 300 pounds of Bradley’s Fertilizer in the hill per 
acre. Result from the operation 184 bushels of shelled corn, 73J4 
bushels to the acre, and ten tons of fodder that is well secured and 
worth $80. The fodder is clear profit above every item of cost 
including $ 60 allowed for the barn manure. To know the number 
of bushels shelled corn, I took an average basket of ears and dried 
them by fire heat fifteen days, then weighed the corn shelled from it. 
Your grass dressing this season did well, as it always does. On 
one meadow applied 500 pounds per acre and found the crop in- 
creased 150 per cent, from that on one side left without dressing.
