To the Farmers of the Comty of Ashburton. Gentlemen,—l have much p lecture m bringing under your notice SMITH'S pi wins For the Sale of which Have acquired the sole Agency for Nev Zealand. This preparation has enjoyed a most extensive denand m England for over forty years, and, as at one time T was personally employed by the mauufacturers at Home, m its preparation and sale, lam able to speak with the greatest confidence of its merits, and of the high esteem m which it is teld by English agriculturalists, especially throughout the Eastern Counties, where it is manufactured and sold by hundreds of tons annually. Wheat protected withjhis dressing has there a perfect immunity from Smut*] and the attacks of Rooks, Grubs, and Wireworm, which are the chief enemies of the English farmer. And although now for the first time introduced into this Colony, there is no room to doubt that it will prove equally effectual here, both as a certain pr&jentative of Smut, and the ravages of the Grub at the young root. From the advantageous terras made with the Proprietors, lam able to offer it to Farmers at a very Moderate Price—a 12|lb Packet, suffi cient for dressing 100 bushels of seed, costing only Four Shillings—and the method of using it is precisely the same as pickling with Milestone, over which it has many advantages. I RESPECTFULLY ASK A TRIAL FOR THE PRESENT SOWING Your Obedient Servant, (For the Ashburton Drug Company, L d. mail j. |£. CAMBBXDGE, Manager.
