Double Repined Poudbette for sale in 
lots to suit customers. This article is sold 
for half the price of other fertilizers, and is 
cheaper for Cotton, Corn, Tobacco, and 
Vegetables than any other in the market. 
Price, delivered on board in New York City, 
$25 per ton. I ask attention to the follow¬ 
ing testimonials: 
Charles A. Messenger. Providence Co., 
R. I., writes: “ The Double-refined Poudrette 
I bought of you has given satisfactory returns, and I con¬ 
sider lit the best of anything I can use for an early crop.” 
Thomas W. Latham, Providence Co., R. I.. writes: “ I 
would rattier have yonr Double-refined Poudrette than any 
M iate I ever used. Where I used it on Potatoes it was 
:ad of any other manure.” . 
L. H. Sheldon. Sup’t of the New Jersey State Reform 
School, writes: “We have used Poudrette for several years 
upon our farm crops, and for the money invested we have 
found nothing that has done us so much service.” 
S. J. Kelly. Burlington Co., N. J., writes: “ I used 
Double-refined Poudrette on Rutabaga Turnips alongside 
of Peruvian Guano and Hen Manure. Where tlie Pou¬ 
drette was applied the increase was thirty per cent over 
the others.” 
William H. Cady, Ocean Co., N. J., writes: “ I used 
Poudrette onCorn, Street and round Potatoes , Onions, and 
Lima Beans. It brought forward my crops two weeks 
earlier. I think it the best manure'I ever used, giving 
better results than Peruvian Guano, at much less cost.” 
Van Antwerp and Van Buren, Montgomery Co.,N. Y., 
writes : “ Poudrette has been used in this locality for ten 
years past, mostly on Corn, and those who have used it, say 
they have from 14 to >3 more Corn by using the Poudrette.” 
W. F. Gerkin, of Essex Co., N. Y., writes; “I have 
used the Double-refined Poudrette for the last five years, I 
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 
Poudrette a thorough trial this year, using it upon Corn, 
Potatoes, Lima Beans, Tomatoes, and Vines, and I have 
never raised better crops. My Com 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. H., 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: “ I have 
used Poudrette on Corn, Potatoes, and Tobacco. There 
was bnt. 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.” 
We. S. Pomeroy, of Hartford Co., Ct., writes: “ I have 
used the Double-refined Poudrette for several years on 
Tobacco, and I think it one of the best fertilizers made 
for this crop.”

NEW POTATOES. 
To tlie two popular varieties, Extra Early Vermont 
and Compton’s Surprise, introduced by us last 
Spring, we take pleasure in adding two new varieties, 
Snowflake and Brownell’s Beauty, as medium 
sorts maturing between tlie two, tlieir equal in quality and 
productiveness—and the most beautiful varieties in cultiva¬ 
tion. The great popularity of the Early Rose, Peerless, and 
others of Bresee’s seedlings first, ottered by us, and their 
general adaptation to the various soils and climates of ttie 
civilized world, has induced thousands in all parts of tlie 
country to experiment in raising seedlings, 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 in 
the country, tlie above named varieties have been selected, 
which we offer to our patrons, fully confident of theii 
superiority. 
The following favorable notice shows the high estimation 
in which Brownell’s Beauty and Extra Early 
Vermont are held in England: 
Gardeners’ Chronicle and Agricultural Gazette i 
Office. London, England, October 7,1873.' j 
Gentlemen: Last year you were good enough to send us 
for trial some of your new kinds of Potatoes. As a large 
trial of over 3n0 sorts was projected to be carried out at the 
Royal Horticultural Society Garden, at Chiswick, this sea¬ 
son, I thought the fairest way would be to send yonr sam¬ 
ples to be tried with the rest. 1 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 
you that a First Class Certificate was awarded by 
the judges to your Extra Early Vermont and to 
Brownell’s Beanty. No doubt von 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, your obedient servant, 
(Signed). MAXWELL T. MASTERS.
