Roberts fe Co., Atlanta, Ga. Gentlemen: I am well pleased with tho result of the uso of the "Double Refined Poudretto" on my crops. I tried it on both oom and cotton, and am satisfied wherever it was applied the yield iras moro than double what it would havo o-ten without it. I regret exceedingly my not using it moro extensively tho present year, but will try to mako up my IOBB by purchasing a larger quantity next spring. I regard it as tho cheapest, most reliable, ami easiest man? aged fertilizer within my knowledge, and cheerfully recommend it fas I have tried it thoroughly) to tho farmers of this section, and particularly to those planting cotton, from the fact of its causing it to maturo from ten days to two weeks oarhcr than it would without tho uso of tho Poudrctte. I also used it on my garden, and found it of much benefit to nil kinds of plants. Very respectfully, Ac. G. S. OGLESRY. Extract from a lotter received from Prof. Martin, of Hampdon. Siduev College, Va., dated July 1, 1867: The Double Refined Poudrctte.is operat? ing like a charm on my crop, and attract? ing universal attention from all beholders. I am already satisfied that it is tho cheap? est and surest renovator of our worn-out lands. - High Shoals, Ga., October 4, 1807. James R. Dev, Esa. Sir: Tho Double Refined Poudretto I bought for two other parties in connection with myself-one of them used it on cotton and corn, and thinks it answered finely; tho other put it on cotton, on very pool ground, and thinks it doubled his crop. 1 used it on corn. It answered finely, and was thought by tho hand that cultivated the crop to be fully equal to Rhode's Supei Phosphate. I also used it on about ar acre of cotton, and I am clearly of opinior that it is the host and cheapest fertilizoi in use, and I expect to order several tom this winter. Yours, very respectfully, ISAAC POWELL. Ellaville, Schlep Co., Ga., Oct. 4, 18G7. Tho Doublo Relined Poudretto, pur chased ot you last spring, I think, in creased my crop of cotton 150 poundB po acre; put it upon worn-out pino land, a the rate of 200 pounds per acre, drilled ii with cotton seed. Yours, Ac, S. MONTGOMERY. Salisbury, JV. C., August 10, 1867. JamoB R. Dey, Esq. Dear Sir: i can safely say that you Doublo Refined Poudretle is far auperio to any other fertilizer for cotton; for! hav given it a fair trial this season. Yours, JEHU FOSTER, Ju. Savannah, Ga., September 25, 1867. James R. Doy, Esq., President. Dear Sir: I used tho Doublo Refino Poudretto, bought of you last spring, o corn. I think it increaaod the yield ont half. I consider it an excellent man un Respectfully, T. HOLCOMBE. Ridgeway, S. C., September 21, 1867. Mr. James P.. Dev. Sir: I applied the Double Refined POT drette by itself, and in combination wit other fertilizers, on cotton, and am please with it; BO much so that it ia my proser intention to purchase a larger supply < you the next year to apply to my cottc crop. Yours very respectfully, HENRY C. DAVIS. Rocky Mount, Edgecomb Co., 2V. C. JVov 1 Jumes R. Dey, Eaq. Sir: In reply to your Inquiry of tho r suite of our experienco in the uao of yoi improved Poudretto-purchased of you f this year's cotton crop-vre would beg lea1 to aay that tho present season has bec one quite unfavorable to the action of ? fertilizers. Soveral kinds of manures wero need 1 mi, with tho exception of your Pondrett with littlo or no effect to tho crop. Where tho Poudrctte was used, it ga UH near half a bale moro per acre, and caused the cotton to open much earlier; and wo would, therefore, recommend the samo as n concentrated manure for tho growth of cotton, aa well au improvement to tho soil.
