MANURES. The Feeezing Company, Auckland, Eversley, Walton, 261h July, 1887. Dear Sri?s.— Enclosed is my order for Corn Manure, but I shall probably require more by llie end ot August, and I slinl! need about eight tons of Manure for Turnips in December next. lam much pleased with the last lot I got from you. I have a very good crop of Swede Turnips this year. It is carrying 40 steers per acre per week, which, I think, is a very good result. Beeing that the manure I used only cost me 12s per acre. Yours very truly, John Hunt. The Freezing Company, Auckland, Wartle, August 19, 1887. Gentlemen-,— During my long experience as a farmer I have used many hundreds of tons of Superphosphates, supplied by various makers, and lean conscientiously say that I never used any with better results than from that supplied by tht Freezing Company. I am, yours respectfully, r J Jos. J. Baeugh. The Fhozen Meat and Stoeaoe Company, Auckland, Cambridge, 61 h August, 1887. Dear Sirs, — I have made several trials of your Manures, and used them extensively for root crops, and all the results have been most satisfactory. In fact, I think it madness to bbuty t the imported article when we can get as good here for much less money. Yours faithfully, Richaed Reynolds. The Freezing Company, Auckland, Inncllan, Onehunga, 17th August, 1887. Dear Sir,— ln answer to your inquiry about the Grass Manure, I can say that it answered the purpose so well that I Intend to repeat the application on the same land. Yours truly, Charles Suttib.
