W« want every Farmer to nee— Phospiiae It Rents all other Manures and gives wonderful results when used on Orchards l It is also by far the hest HreEETISF If you once use this Celebrated Manure you will use no other. Read what some of our local and well-known farmers say: MoVueka, Jan. oih, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bn.s., and Co., Nelson. Dear Sirs,—lt affords me much pleasure to be able to advise you of the ■.Teat success 1 have from the 5 tons of Rockland. Basic Phosphate Manure which I purchased from you a iew months ago. For many years I have been a large user of imported Superphosphates. Basic slag and various brands of New Zealand Freezing Companies' mixtures ; but I HAVE NEVER HAD SUCH MARKED SUCCESS from any manures as I HAVE HAD THIS PHATE, in sprite of worse weather conditions than we have experienced for many vears. I used a portion of your manure to ! TOP DRESS some of my GRASS LAND i and the 'balance I used on oats. One 1 paddock I manured and shut up for hay, and desoite the dry season and general bad Year for grass, I had from th.s veryold pasture a very good crop, while unma.mrred paddocks shut up gave poor results. 1 manured one paddock on which I run my cows regularly and left the others. The PADDOCK THINK PRODUCES ABOUT 25 PER CENT. MORE FEED THAN ANY OF THE UNMANURED PADDOCKS. Clovers came in a surprising manner although clover had not shown to any exten.t°for some years. As well as this, THE GRASS SEEMED TO GROW FRESHER AND TO CONTAIN MORE NOURISHMENT, as the cows milked better and did better when on the manured pasture. I had sufficient manure to cover half my oat crop and for the remainder I used! a Freezing Oom|pany"s special grain manure. THE OATS ON WHICH I USED THE BASIC PHOSPHATE LEFT THE OTHER OATS FAR BEHIND, AND TC SUCH A MARKED EXTENT THAT PEOPLE ASKED ME WHAT I HAD DONE TO HALF MY CROP. I am so pleased with my success with this manure that I think every farmer should know of its qualities, and to see this end, I would be pleased to give every farmer further .particulars and show the aetual results. I can confidently recommend 'Rockland Basic Phosphate, and my order for the coming season will be about 5 tons. (Signed) W. W. Livesay. Brightwater, Feb. 9th, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bros, and Co. Nelson.

Dear Sirs, —We have to advice you of our success with Rockland Basic Phosphate Manure. We purchased' two tons from you, and although late in the geason, applied a jp'ortion. of it to one half of our CLOVER PADDOCK. The other half of this paddock we topdressed with Basic Slag. The difference between the two manures was most marked, and WE HAD A REALLY WONDERFUL RESULT WITH THE BASIC PHOSPHATE. The portion manured with the Basic Phosphate grew stronger, -taller, ' and the clover was bright green, ' whereas THE BASIC SEAG PORTION had a yellowish tinge, and WAS DECIDEDLY INFERIOR. We are so pleased with our success with this manure that we will use large quantities during the coming season. (Signed) NEWMAN BROS. Although fcthe paddock was not topdressed the following year the result was even more noticeable, which proves that BASIC PHOSPHATE IS A LASTING MANURE. [ Riwaka, ' March 11th, 1915. Messrs Bisley Bros, and Co. •Nelson. Dear Sirs, —It affords m© much pleasure to be able to advise you of my success with the Rockland) Basic Phosphate manure which I purchased from you last July. I used this manure on. mv GRAIN CROPS {OATS AND WHEAT). The paddock where this grain grew ij> the poorest piece of land on my property and DURING THE FORTY YEARS I HAVE HAD THIS PLACE I HAVE NEVER HAD A CROP SO GOOD BY HALF. It is the opinion of the Farmers in this neighbourhood that my oat crop is the best in the district, and my wheat crop is exceptionallv good. I HAVE TO PUT THIS SUCCESS DOWN TO YOUR BASIC PHOSPHATE. You can make use of this reference to help to make the manure known, as after my success I feel it is the best (manure an<s the cheapest on the market. (Signed) Alex. Drumimond. Motueka, Jan. 14th", 1915. Messrs Bisley Bros, and Co. Nelson. Dear Sirs, —I have great pleasure in advising you of the success I have had from the Rockland Basic Phosphate which I purchased from you last July. I used the Majority on GRASS PADDOCKS, and I can. confidently say that DURING THE TEN YEARS I HAVE HAD THIS PROPERTY I HAVE NEVER HAD HALF THE GRASS I HAVE HAD THIS SEASON, a.vjough I have stocked the ground as hoavily as usual. The effect ot your manure is even more surprising seeing that the season has been exceptionally dry and a general bad year fur grass. The BASIC PHOSPHATE FORCED tne GRO>, x d. OF CLOVER IN MY PADDOCKS WHERE CLOVER HAD NOT SHOWN FOR YEARS. I am so satisfied with the manure thai I will largely increase my order for the coming season. I will be pleased if any farmer wanting further particulars will come along and see the results. (Signed) L. Francois, We have large shipments arriving in July, August and September. Forward us your order promptly to ensure deLivery. Rockland Basic Phosphate runs through the drill, well. It gives the result, it is a lasting manure and it iweetens and improves your soil. Let us know youx requirementa to-dsj. BISEiEY BROS. and Co. Sola 'Afeai for Nelaos District.
