MANTJ_EES. '■'"•: The Fbeezino Compaht, Auckland, Eversley, Walton.Mth. July, 1837.Dear Sibs.— Enclosed is my order for Corn Manure, but I shall probably require more by the end or A^c'itst, and J sunn need about eight tons of Manure for Turnips in December next. lam much pleased with llic last lot I got irom you. I liave a very good crop of Swedo Turnips this year. It is carrying 40 steers per acre per week, which, I think, is a very good result, teeing that the manure I used only cost me 12s per acre. Yours very truly, John Hukt. . • . - . i The Freezing Compaht, Auckland, V^ tle ' At-gnst 19. 1887. Gentlemen,— During my long experience as a farmer I have used many hundreds of tons ot {superphosphates, s»PP') e(J by various makers, and I can conscientiously say that I never used any with better results than from tnat supplied by the Freezing Company. I am, yours respectfully, & * J Jos. J. Babu&h. rn-sFBOzBK Meat and Stoba&b Company, Auckland, Cambridge, 6th Augnst, 1887. Dear Sibs, — I liavc made several trials of your Manures, and used them extensively for root crops, and all the result! have been most satisfactory. Tn fact, I think it madness to buy the imported article when we- can get as good here for much less mouey. Yours faithfully, Richard Reynolds. The Fbeezing Company, Auckland, Imicllan, Onehunga, 17th August, 1887. Deae Sir,— ln answer to your inquiry ahout the Grass Manure, I can , say that it answered the purpose so, well tl^at 1 intend to repeat the application on the same land. „ • , i Yours truly, Charles Suttie.
