THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
February 20, 1904 
Mr. F. E. H am, Burlington, Mass., writes, “The picture of squashes 
is a correct photograph of my exhibit that took First Prize at the fair. I 
grow 6 to 7 acres every year and would rather have a handful of Bradley’s 
F ertilizer than a good shovelful of the best barnyard manure that could be 
produced. The fertilizer also is very obnoxious to the black bugs and other 
insects which feed upon the young plants, and I seldom have any trouble 
with them where I use Bradley’s. My former practise was to apply to my 
squash fields 9 or 10 cords manure to the acre.” 
Mr. J. A. Wilson, Amesbury, Mass., also reports a yield of 30 tons 
squashes on 3 acres, using Bradley’s, and adds, “ Squashes will 
mature two weeks earlier on the fertilizer than on stable manure — 
an important consideration where seasons are short.”
