J. W. Sullivan, Agent, Monrovia. Md.: Libertytown. Frederick County, Md., April 4th. 18P9 
I have been using “ Lister s Standard ” on my wheat land for the last eight or ten years. Previous to tha 
time I used good fertilizer. I have for many years kept an accurate account of my yearly yield of wheat 
Since I commenced using the “standard.” I tlnd by careful calculation that my ylel J of wheat has Increased 
fully 50 per cent. I regard Lister’s Standard ” as the most reliable fertilizer I have ever tried, and, of course, 
will use no other so long as It is procurable at a reasonable price. Yours &c., D. W. HAMMOND.
