DIE BURG EXCELSIOR.
PERUVIAN GUAN0 EXCELLD
-EY-
81 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
edmiXture 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 IL
proof of this, we subon the opinion of Dr.
DAVID STEWART, Chemist to MARYLAND
State Agricultural Soc,Sy, who in,pects every
lot we receive, before offered for sale, and saws
in his report to us
'De Burg scompound is mucE more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphatos and ammonia or manip-
ulatcd guano"
Again There are other clements in De
| Burg to which attach as much importance as
ammonia and phosphatcs, and cannot pass q
cargo where one Of these is absent however
much ammonia and phosphates arc 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 u crop
grower
JAMES w. BURDETT, Esq Montgomery
.
Burg to my corn, 100 pounds per acre, or II
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 We're very good
for tobacco, like it very much as ii 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 rs
well as that beside it, sown with Peruvian
Guano."

SAYS, Jan. %, 1858: g. ] applied so pounds
Of De Burg per acre, on corn in the hill; this

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
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 Eurg' last
spring on corn &c, of its superiority ever
