DE BURG EXCELSIOR.
PERUVIAN GUANO EXCELLED
BY
DE BURG"

"DE BURG is composed of chemically
~ prepared Peruvian Guano, Bones.
Flesh, Blood, &C., and is prepared expressly
to supply all Soils whether deficient or moi,
with the constituents to produce all crous and
at the same time improve them; no Guano or
sdmixture of Guanos can do this, as none con-
tain the requisites " thin 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 saws
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.n
Again :--"There are other elements in De
Burg to which | attach as mach 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 Tcs-
timonials, received within the past month,
from well known gentlemen, nearly all Of " honr
speak Of the fertilizing and durable properties
of De Burg in addition to its value as a crop
grower:
JAMES W. BURDETT, Esq Montgomery
Co, Nd, says, Jan. %, 1852 81 applied Do
Burg to my corn, 1870 pounds per acre or IL
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 early. Ii does not
affect or burn the roots of corn like guano.-
Ny wheat sown with De Burg looks equally rs
well as that beside it, sown with Peruvian
Guano."
r. B. SOPER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd.
says, Jan. %, 1858; Il applied 1850 pounds
Of De Burg per acre, on corn in the hill this
consider a 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 %
the grain ] consider better; / believe it is a
more permanent fertilizer than guano.p
HENRY BUSSAf1D, Esq, Siiount Airy, Car
roll Co. says: II have the most glowing ac-
counts fom those who used the De purp' last
spring on corn, &c, of its superiority over
Peruvian Guano and every other fertilizer. |
used some and il beats anything ever used on
corn. My neighbors say Dc Burg is fully equal
to the best No. ! Peruvian Guano for wheat
and decidedly better for any summer crop, as
il sustains the crop much better in a drought
than guano"
Z. WAKEFIELD, Esq, Carroll County, Nd,
says, February nth, 1858 81 have used De
Burg on oats and corn, and am disposed TO
give it the preference to Peruvian Guano"
BAKER H. SIMMONS Esq, Frederick Co.
Nd, says: 3" 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 il twice on wheat, and found it
producing fully as large yield and lately
have tried it ON my tobacco, and so far il
seems to me TO be quite the equal of the Peru
Wan Guano. One decided advantage it pos
scsscs is ihatit is cheaper and less troublesome.
JESSE HALL, Esq, Carroll Co. Md. saws.
Jan Il, 1858; - applied De Burg TO NV
corn in the hill. My crop was a good one. /
am satisfied il will favorably compare with No.
Peruvian Guano."
Take III otfce.
Notwithstanding the great success Of De
Burg heretofore, as n rival of Peruvian Guapo
Mr.. De Burg has increased the fertilizinp mo-
perties Of his compound, for our sales, fully
FIFTY PER CENT. We now challenge the world
to produce lis equal, at the same or an approx
innate price.
Farmers win pay particular attention TO the
fact that De Burg is the only fertilizer that il
inspected in Baltimore, Except guano as il
comes from the Islands, and is guaranteed of
uniform quality-not sold upon the representa-
uon OF the manufacturer, as is the ease wi,l
all Others, but subject 10 reinspection, at our
expense, if not as represented.
LOOK FOR INSPECTION MARK.
The Genuine De Burg is in barrels, with
1chfte heads, maker name in black letters. and
Baltimore Inspection Mark in RED letters there
on-none other genuine.
