REMARKABLE SUCCESS IN 
THE PRODUCTION OF FRUIT. 
G RAPES. 
Prom Mr. PERKINS, The Right Hon. W. H. Smith, M P., Henley-on-Thames, \ 
August 23, 1888 :—“I have used several Vine Manure*, but not any have ever equalled Le Fruitier* through which I attribute niy 
success last year in obtaining FIVE FIRST CLASS PRIZES.” 
From Mr. CHAS. MARTIN, Lord Dacre, The Hoo, Welwyn, Herts, January 18, 1890 :— 
“Your Le Fruitier had a marked effect upon my Grapes this season, especially on Madresfield Court and Gros Colmar. His 
lord ship said he never had Grapes so fine as this year.There was a very marked improvement in the quality of Gros 
Colmar—much finer flavour with thinner skins.” 
Mr. ALLIS, of Old Warden Park, who has taken First Prizes for Grapes, &c., at Sandy Show, for 
eight years consecutively, says (letter dated September 14, 1SS8):—“ I have this season used your Le Fruitier for Grapes, and have 
found them better coloured where it has been used, and cairying a good bloom. Lady Downes are better finished than I have had 
them for some years.” 
_ -- -— ^ .... , „ — ..J ... .HO ouu uo a. OOlUf^. ± ran a 
marked improvement in some old Vines, both in size of bunch and berry. Chrysanthemums like it, and all other plants that require 
high feeding." 
PEACHES AND 
NECTARINES. 
From Mr. G-. CLAYDON, Woodbury Hall, Sandy, September 6, 1888:—“I have used 
Le Fruitier for Vines, Peach Trees, and Strawberry Plants, and we find the Grapes had much larger berries than we have had them for 
years, and we find it a great help to finish Peaches." 
From Mr. G-. H. RICHARDS, Lord Normanton, Somerley, Ringwood, Hants, July 25, 
1888:—“ More than a two years’ trial of your Le Fruitier has convinced me that it is a preparation wh’ch would be difficult to improve 
upon as an all-round Manure tor Vines, either in pots or planted out. Some Manures recommended for Vines produce luxuriant 
foliage and strong wood, without, however, touching the food itself in a corresponding degree. Le Fruitier seems to benefit the 
fruit quickly.” 
From Messrs. INGRAM & WHITFIELD, Aylesbury, Bucks. July 16, 1888:—“We have 
much pleasure in sending you a small present of the fruit growl, by your Le Fruitier. We thought it would be more satisfaction for 
you to see the fruit which gained the prize, which we consider highly satisfactory ; and we trust it will be the means of increasing the 
sale of some further order to follow." 
“ Le 
From Mr. G. GOLDSMITH, G. A. Hoare, Esq., High Trees, Redhill, January 10, 1890 :— 
Fruitier is one of the best Manures I ever used, especially for Peaches and Nectarines.” 
PEACHES IN POTS, 
PEARS IN POTS. 
STRAWBERRIES. 
From Mr. G-. H. RICHARDS, Lord Normanton, Somerley, Ringwood, October 17, 1887: — 
“ I may say that the trees to which the Manures have been applied have carried double the number of fruit; the fruit all finished 
satisfactory in all that we could desire in point of size, colour, and flavour.” 
From Mr. COX. The Warrens, Bushey Heath “ My Peaches this year averaged half a pound 
each, and I have had the heaviest crops this year I ever had, for which I thank Le Fruitier.” 
From Mr. GAIGER, The Gardens, Blakewell, January 11, 1888:— “I find Le Fruitier a most 
excelle nt. Manure for Fruit Trees. I have used it with good results for Peaches, Nectarines, &c.” 
From Mr. THOS. NUTTING, J. B. Maple. Esq., M.P.. Childwickbury, St. Albans 
September IS, 1SSS.—“ As I have grown my pot Peaches, exhibited at Harpenden Show, with your Le Fruitier, it may interest you to 
know that the dish of six fiuits weighed 3 lbs. 2 ozs.; the tree carried about two dozen fruits.” 
From Mr. G. H. RICHARDS, Lord Normanton, Somerley, Hants I send you a photo 
of four Pear trees in pots, grown and fed with your Le Fruitier. Size of pots—two 14 and two 11-inch diameter • number of fruit 165 • 
average weight of fruit, \ lb. each. This speaks for itself.” 
From Mr. T. B. LEADBETTER, A. Wilson, Esq., Tanby Croft, Hull, July 27 1888 • — 
‘‘After giving your Le Fruitier a fair good trial upon pot Strawberries, I am well satisfied with results: the fact bein'* that I Dever 
had forced Strawberries so fine, both in flavour, size, and colour, as they were this season, fed entirely with Le Fruitier My employer 
often spoke of their size and quality, and said he never had forced Strawberries so good.” ' * 
From Mr. T. WOOLFORD, A. Palmer, Esq., East Thorpe, Reading, February 7, 1888 :_ 
“Your Le Fruitier appears to be particularly suitable for pot Strawberries. Plants on which I tried it finished nearly doub’e the 
crop, and of better qualify than others did of the same sort, grown side by side and watered with manure water composed of horse and 
cow droppings and soot. - ’ 
MELONS. 
Mr. Lippingcott’s Agent, of Aylesbury, July 20, 1888, writes as follows Our Strawberries and 
V ill's were dressed with your Le Fruitier, and we took First Prize in the'amateur class at the late show." 
From Mr. J. OSBORN, J. N. Mappin, Esq., Southgate House:-“Le Fruitier has proved 
to be very successful in my Melon house." r 
From Mr. W. J. EMPSON, The Gardens, Ampthill House, Ampthill, January 25 1890 •— 
“ Yol > have rightly named your Le Fruitier ‘ The Perfection of Plant Food.' It is the best Manure I have ever used. I cut Melons last 
year, fed with your Le Fruitier, weighing from 6 lbs. to S lbs. each." 
VINES IN POTS, 
From Mr. H. PERKINS, The Right Hon. W. H. Smith, M.P., May 9, 18S9 “I should like 
f ‘-it to see some pot Vines which I have fed with Le Fruitier, everyone that has seen them say they have never seen better I believe 
t to be the best Manure for Vines in the market.” 
GRAPE GROWING FOR PROFIT. 
“ LE FRUITIER ” is a favourite Manure with the Market Growers, who have proved it to be the most successful Manure 
for producing Grapes alike remarkable for Size, Colour, Quality, and Quantity.
