TO THE FARMERS OF THE COUNTY OF ASHBURTON.: Gentlemen, —I have much pleasure m bringing under your notice : SMITE'S PREMIER WHEAT |iRE« FOR THE SALE OF WHICH THE ASHBXJRTON DRUG COM PANY, LIMITED, 1 HAVE acquired the sold Agency for New Zealand. This preparation! has enjoyed a most extensive demand m England for over forty years, and, as at one time I was personally employed by the manufacturers at Home, m its pre paration and sale, I am able to speak with the greatest confidence of its* merits, and offcbe high esteem m whichit is held by English agriculturists, especially throughout the Eastern Counties, wljere it is manufactured and sold by hundreds of tons annually. Wheat protected with this dressing has there a perfect immunity \ rom SMUT, and the attacks of Rooks, Grubs, and Wireworms, which are the chief enemies of the English farmer. And although now for the first time in troduced iiito this Colony, there is no room to doubt that it will prove equally effectual here, both as a certain preventa tive ©f Smut, and the ravages of :he Grub at the young root. From the advantageous terms made with the Proprietors, I am able to offer it to Farmers at a very Moderate Price —a 1241 b Packet, sufficient for, dressißg 100 bushels of seed, costing only Four Shillings—and the method of using it is precisely the same as pickling with blue stone, over whichit has many advantages T respectfully ask a trial for the. present sowing.
