DE BURG EXCELSIOR !
PRJyiAN GJANO EKGELLED
BY
De BURG"

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 De Burg
are as important to the practical farmer as
either Of the two which guano supplies; as n
! 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 repor; to US
ode Burg's compound is much more general
! ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated ouano'
| Again :--"There are other elements in De
Burg to which ! attach as much Importance as
ammonia and phosphates, and cannot pass a
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 fertilzing and durable properties
of De Burg in addition to its value as crop
grower
JAMES W. BURDETT, Esq Montgomery
Burg to my corn, 1870 pounds per acre, or
handful to 3 hills, on an old field, 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 carly. 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. SOPER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd,
says, Jan. %, 1858: @ ] applied $50 pounds
OF Dc Burg per acre, on corn in the hill this
| consider Il 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; | believe it is a
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 Hurg' last
spring on corn, SC, 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."
+. WAKEFIELD, Esq, Carroll County, Nd,
| says, February 18th, 1883: % ! 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; o In reply TO your enquiries, it
gives me much pleasure to inform you, that,
pound for pound, your De Burg is quite rs ad-
yantageous as the best No. l Peruvian Guano.
| | have tried it twice on wheat, and found il
