PERUVIAN GUANO EXCELLED
BY
ode BURG"

nE 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 crops, and
at the same time improve Them no Guano or
soInlXture OIL Guanos can do this, as none con-
tain the requisites within themselves
Any one Of the seven clements of De Burr
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
~ valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano'
Again ;-"Therc are other elements in De
Burg to which | attach as much Importance as
ammonia and phosphates, and | cannot pass u
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 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. %, 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,
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 docs not
affect or burn the roots of corn like guano'-
/ Ny wheat sown with Dc Burg looks equally as
well as that beside it, sown with Peruvian
/ Guano."
R. B. SOPER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd,
says, Jan. %, 1858: % 1 applied $50 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 Of
the grain ] consider better; believe il is q
more permanent fertilizer than guano."
HENRY BUSSARD, Esq, Mount Airy. Car
roll 20. says Il have the most glowing ac-
counts from those who used the DE Iure' last
spring on corn, &c, Of its superiority over
PERUVIAN Guano and every other fertilizer /
used some and ii 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: ~ have used De
Burg on oats and corn, and am disposed.
give it the preference to Peruvian Guano.'
BAKER II. SIMMONS, ESQ.,, Frederick Co
Nd, says; q In reply to your enquiries.
gives me much pleasure to inform you, that
pound for pound, your De Burg is quite as adj
vantage0us 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, it
seems to me to be quite the equal of the Peru
Wan Guano. One decided advantage it pos
sesses is, thatt is cheaper and less troublesome.
JESSE HALL, Esq, Carroll Co. Nd, says,
Jan q, 1862 :" / applied De Burg to my
corn in the hill. My crop was good one. !
am satisfied it will favorably compare with No.
Peruvian Guanou
