Ymir Miiniircs \\ err \\>o<\ upon tin's: Eshrte for the Turnip crop last season at the rale nf lewt. each of Superphosphate 25 per cciit. and B<>nr.iu*l per acre. The iv.su!is ;-io vn-y satisfactory, and the crop compares very favorably with that of the previon> sonson. when L.-n.vt-s' 30 per cent. Supi-i phosphates were used at the same rates. Our Swede crop has been carrying sheep at the rate of IGU per acre per week, and imury of the roots weigh up to 3.4 and lGlbs. Yours faithfully, G. L. Gbant, Manages. The Freezing Company, Auckland. Paumure, July 1, 1887 i Dr.Aii Sies.— -I wish you to know that lam preatly pleased with the Manure which I had from 3"ou last March. You Will remember that I intended to use Boncclust only, but on your recommendation, and a good deal against my own inclination, I gave a 33-aciv field of Swedes at my Te Awamutu farm a dressing of your Special Dissolved Bon<T Manure. I do not hesitate to say that the crop has been three times as heavy as I had looked for— that is, three times as much as I had ever grown.on the same paddock with any other Manures. Many of the Swedes were 30 inches in circumference. I have also used your Grass Manure on new grass with extraordinary results. The sheep running on this grass have improved very rapidly, and I consider that I have realised better prices for them as a result of the use of the Manure. English Phosphates, costing Jriel £5 per tou more. ha%o not yielded me results to be compared with those I have had since" using yours — which is ever since your works started. You may make any use you like of this letter. Yours truly, BogerKat. CHEMICAL WORKS, " wass 'SS^ai!S >lire^ AUCKLAND; 1
