HARWICHPORT, MASS., Oct. 19, 1891.
I have used Bradley’s Fertilizer for growing cranberries, and find
it very beneficial. New vines come to bearing one year earlier by
its use, and grass and weeds are crowded out, and do not get the
foothold they are apt to where vines grow slowly, and are a long
while covering the ground.
Cranberry growers in this section are finding it greatly to their
interest to use Bradley’s Fertilizer on their bogs, both new and
old.
About the 1st of June, 1891, I put on 100 pounds of Bradley’s
Fertilizer on about 60 rods of late vines, set out 20 years ago. On
the other side of the ditch were 60 rods of vines, the same age,
both done by the same man; in other words, the same conditions
exactly, except the Fertilizer. This year I gathered both pieces.
The piece to which I applied 100 pounds of Fertilizer yielded 8
barrels of cranberries, the other, barely 1 barrel.
