DE BURG EXCELSIOR.
PERUVIAN GUANO EXCELLED
Ny
De BURG"

SsnE 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
edmxture 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 sulioin 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
~ 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 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 frtilizing 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, |
made 8 TO barrels per acre; applied at the
same rate for oats. and they were very good ,
for tobacco. ! like ii very much as it grows
off quick and natures it carly. 1t docs not
affect or burn the roots of corn like guano'-
Ny 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 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 ii 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 Co. says: II have the most glowing ac-
counts from those who used the De urg' 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 ncighbors say De Burg is fully equal
TO the best No. / Peruvian GuanO for wheat,
and decidedly better for any summer crop, as
than guano.
Z. WAKEFIELD, Esq, Carroll County, Nd,
says, February It'll 1855 Il have used De
Burg on oats and corn and am disposed to
give il the preference to Peruvian Guano."
BAKER Il. SIMMONS, ESD, Frederick Co.
Nd, says: In reply to your enquiries, il
gives me much pleasure to inform you, that,
pound for pound, your De Burg is quite as adj
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, il
seems to me TO be quite the equal of the Peru
Wan Guano. One decided advantage it pos
sesscs is, thatit is cheaper and less troublesome
| JESSE HALL, ESD Carroll Co.. Md, says,
Jan 81 1858; " / applied De Burg to my
corn in the hill Ny crop was a good one !
ain satisfied it will fjtvorably compare with No
