DE BURG EXCELSIOR.
PERUVIAN GUANO EXCELLED
BY
DE BURG"

EnE 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 az
either of the two which guano supplies as "a
proof Of this, we subioin 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's compound is much more general
| ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture Of phosphates and ammonia or manip-
ulated guano."
! Again There are other clements 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 W hom
| speak Of the fertilizing and durable properties
of De Burg in addition to its value as crop
grower:
JAMES W. BURDETT, Esq Montgomery
Co., Md, says, Jan. 25, 1858: 81 applied De
Burg to my corn, 100 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, l
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. 1t does 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.n
R. B. S0PER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd,
says, Jan. 2s, 1858: 81 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 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 Burg 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 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."
&. WAKEFIELD, Esq, Carroll County, Nd,
says, February 18th, 1858: al 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: In reply to your enquiries.
| gives me much pleasure TO inform you, that.
pound for pound, your De Burg is quite as adj
vantageous as the best No. Peruvian Guauo.
have tried it twice on wheat, and found il
| 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, hatit is cheaper and less trou blesome.
! JESSE HALL, Esq, Carroll Co., Nd, says,
Jan 81, 1883 applied De Burg to my
corn in the hill. My crop was a good one. 1
am satisfied it will favorably compare with No.
