is the ONLY PRACTICAL TEST of the Agricultural value 
of a Fertilizer. Read Mr. Wilber’s opinion: — 
Middle Falls, N. Oct. 25.1889. 
1 used 200 pounds of your Phosphate on an acre of clay ground 
last summer, and got 7— bushels buckwheat actual measure 
from the acre. Four or live years ago I sowed the same piece 
and got only 7 bushels. The piece has had no barnyard manure 
for twenty-one years. J- S. Wilber. 
STANDARD 
FERTILIZERS 
have been tested for 2!) years by farmers on their varied crops, and to-day are 
recognized as the standard of excellence by farmers and manufacturers alike, 
and by their merits alone have secured a sale absolutely unapproached by any 
other fertilizer. 
The New England Homestead , after a minute inspection of our factories 
and methods of manufacture, as well as of the materials we use, says 
editorially: — 
" Special attention is given by the Bradley Fertilizer Co. to 
supplying all the constituents of plant food in the forms and propor¬ 
tions which science and long practical experience have demonstrated 
to be best for nourishing the crops throughout the entire season; and 
thousands of farmers have such complete confidence in the intrinsic 
value of Bradley's Phosphate, as demonstrated by long successful 
experience in the field, that they use it in preference to any other ferti¬ 
lizer that may be sold even at a less price.”
