TO THE FARMERS OF THE COUNTY OF ASHBURTON. Gentlemen, —I have much pleasure m bringing under your notice SMITH'S PREMIER WHEAT iIKE>SIMi FOR THE SALE OF WHICH THE ASHBURTON DRUG COM PANY, LIMITED, 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 tline I was personally employed'4>y the manufacturers at Home, m its pre paration and sale, I am able to speak with the greatest confidence of its merits, and of the high esteem m which it is held by English agriculturists; especially throughout the Eastern Counties, where it ia manufactured and sold by hundreds of tons annually. Wheat protected with this dressing has there a perfect immunity from SMUT, and the attacks of Rooka, Grubs, and Wireworms, which are the chief enemies of the English farmer. And although now for the first time in troduced into this Colony, there is no room to doubt that it will prove equally effectual here, both as a certain preventa tive of Smut, and the ravages of the. Grub at the young root. , From the advantageous terms inad,e with the Proprietors, I am able to offer it to Farmers at a very Moderate Price—-k 12^1b Packet, sufficient for dressing 100 bushels of seed, costing only Four Shillings—and the method of using it is precisely the same as pickling with*'blue stone, over which it has many advantages I respectfully ask a trial for the present sawing. , Your obedient servant, For the Ashburton Drug Company, Ltd.)
