DE- BURG EXCELSIOR (!
PERUVIAN GUANO ExCELLED
"DE BURG"

E BuhG Is composed OF chemically
| ~ 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
edmixture 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 subjoin 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 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 phosphates 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 Rertilizing and durable properties
Of De Burg in addition to its value as a crop
grower:
JAMES W. BURDETT, Esq Montgomery
Co., Nd, says, Jan. 25, 1852 81 applied De
Burg to my corn, 100 pounds per acre, or
handful to 8 hills, on an old f&d, quite thin,
that would not have brought more than three
barrels per acre; 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 does not
affect or burn the roots Of corn like guano.-
My wheat sown with De Burg looks equally as
well as that beside it, sown with Peruvian
Guano."
R. B. S0PER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd,
says, Jan. 90, 1858: ~ applied $50 pounds
Of De Burg per acre. on corn in the hill; this
consider a very light dressing. The growth
of the corn I 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; | 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 Burg last
spring on corn, &C., of its superiority over
Peruvian Guano and every other fertilizer.
used some and it beats anything | ever used on
corn. My 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 drought
than guano."
E. WAKEFIELD, ESQ.,, Carroll County, Nd,
says, February 18th, 1858: 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.,
Md, says: g 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
producing fully as large yield, and lately |
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, thatit is cheaper and less troublesome
JESSE HALL, ESQ.,, Carroll Co., Nd, says,
Jan 81, 1858; 81 applied De Burg to my
corn in the hill My crop was good one. /
am satisfied it will fayorably compare with No.
Peruvian Guano.'
Take 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 hisjcompound, foE our sales, fully
FIFTY PER CENT. We now challenge the world
| to produce its equal, at the same or an approx
innate price.
Farmers viii pay particular attention to the
fact that De Burg is the only fertilizer that is
inspected in Baltimore, Except guano as it
comes from the Islands, and is guaranteed of
uniform quality-not sold upon the representa-
ton Of the manufacturer, as is the case with
all others, but subject to reinspection, at our
expense, if not as represented.
LOOK FOR INSPECTION MARK.
The Genuine De Burg is in barrels, with
achite heads, makers name in black letters, and
Baltimore Inspection Mark in RED letters there
on--none other genuine.
Price $40 per ton of 1000 pounds
