SnE BURG" 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
admixture Of Guanos can do this as none con-
tain the requisites within themselves.
Any one of the seven elements Of Dc 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 nspects 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 ftrmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano."
Again :--"There arc 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 phosphatcs 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 fertiizing and durable properties
Of De Burg in addition to its value as a crop
grower
JAMES W. BURDETT. Esq Montgomery
Co., Md, says, Jan. 25, 1858: 81 applied De
Burg to my corn, 1870 pounds per acre, or a
handful TO hills, on an old field, quite thin,
that would not have brought more than three
barrels per acre; by applying as | stated, I
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 il early. 1t does not
affect or burn the roots Of corn like guano.-
My 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. %, 1853: :" ] applied $50 pounds
Of De 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 filling of
the grain | consider better; believe it is a
more permanent fertilizer than guano."
HENRY BUSSARD, Esq, Mount Airy, Car
roll Go. says; 81 have the most glowing ac-
counts from those who used the DE Eurg' 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 a drought
than guano."
j.. WAKEFIELD, ESQ.,, Carroll County, Nd,
says, Februury nth, 1853 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: Z" In reply to your enquiries. ii
gives me much pleasure to inform you, that,
pound for pound, your De Burg is quite as ad-
vantageous rs the best No. l Peruvian Guano
