.DE BURG EXCELSIOR E!
PERUVIAN GUANO ExCELLED
BY
De BURG"

~ prepared Peruvian Guano, Bones,
! Flesh. Blood &c, and is prepared expressly
to supply all soils, whether deficient or not,
with the constituents to produce all crops, and
at the same time improve them; no Guano or
admixture Of Guanos can do this as none con-
tain the requisites within themselves.
ANY one Of the seven elements of De Burg
are as important to the practical farmer as
either Of the two which guano supplies; as a
proof Of this. we subioin the opinion Of DR..
! DAVID STEWART, Chemist to Maryland
State Agricultural Society, who inspects every
lot we receive, before offered for sale, and says
in his report to US:
"De Burg's compound is much more general
! ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano."
Again :-"There are other elements in De
| Burg to which attach as much Importance as
ammonia and phosphatcs, and ] cannot pass
cargo where one Of these is absent, however
much ammonia and phosphates are present
/ We call your attention to the following Tes-
timonials, received within the past month,
from well known gentlemen, nearly all Of whom
speak Of the ertiizing and durable properties
| of De Burg in addition TO its value as crop
grower:
JAMES W. BURDETT, Esq Montgomery
Co, Nd, says, Jan. %, 1858: ~ applied De
Burg to my corn, 1870 pounds per acre, or q
handful to 3 hills, on old field, quite thin,
that would not have brought more than three
barrels per4acre; by APPLYING as | stated, |
made to barrels per acre; applied at the
| same rate for oats, and they were very good !;
for tobacco, like it very much, as it grows
off quick and natures it early. 1t Goes not
affect or burn the roots Of corn like guano'-
Ny wheat sown with De Burg looks equally as
wei! as that beside it, sown with Peruvian
Guano."
R. b. sOPER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd,
says Jan. %, 1858; Q applied $50 pounds
Of Dc Burg per acre, on corn in the hill this
consider very light dressing. The growth
of the corn | think equal to what it would
have been from the same number Of pounds of
Peruvian Guano, and the caring and filing Of
the grain consider better; l believe it is q
more permanent fertilizer than guano."
HENRY BUSSARD, Esq, Mount Airy, Car
roll Co. says: 81 have the most glowing ac-
counts from those who used the DE Rurg' last
sp@g on corn, &c, of its superiority over
Peruvian Guano and every other fertilizer.
used some and it beats anything | ever used on
corn Ny neighbors say De Burg is fully equal
to the best No. Peruvian Guano for wheat,
and decidedly better for any summer crop, as
it sustains the crop much better in a drought
than guano"
f. WAKEFIELD, ESQ, Carroll County, Nd.
says, February nth, 1852 81 have used De
Burg on oats and corn, and am disposed to
give it the preference to Peruvian Guano."
BAKER II. SIMMONS Esq, Frederick Co.,
Nd, says In reply to your enquiries, it
gives me much pleasure to inform you, that,
pound for pound, your De Burg is quite as ad-
vantageous as the best No. Peruvian Guano.
have tried it twice on wheat, and found it
| 81 Los al
| have tried it on my tobacco, and so far, it
seems to me to be quite the equal Of the Peru
Wan Guano One decided advantage it pos
sesses is that is cheaper and less troublesome.
JESSE HALL, ESQ., Carroll Co., Nd, says,
Jan 81, 1857 81 applied De Burg to my
corn in the hill. Ny crop was good one. l
am satisfied it will favorably compare with No.
l Peruvian Guano."
fake Notice.
Notwithstanding the great success of De
Burg heretofore as a rival of Peruvian Guano,
Mr. De Burg has increased the fertilizing pro-
perties Of his compound, for our sales, fully
| FIFTY PER CENT. We now challenge the world
to produce its equal at the same or an approx
innate price.
Farmers will pay particular attention to the
fact that Dc Bgrg is the only fertilizer that is
inspected in Baltimore, Except guano as il
