DE BURG EXCELSIOR
PERUVIAN GUAkO EXCELLED
BY
DE BURG"

t"DE BURG is composed of chemically
/ 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 as
either of the two which guano supplies; as il
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."
Again :-"There are other elements in De
Burg to which attach as much importance ms
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
W. 4Au'J says; JAN AO1 1000 1 dpplleu lie
Burg to my corn, 1870 pounds per acre, or n
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 il very much, as it grows
off quick and natures it early. 1t does not
affect or burn the roots Of corn like guano'--
My wheat sown with De Burg looks equally as
ix,-aIt hot -
Guano.'
R. B. SOPER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd,
says, Jan. 2S, 1858 g applied l50 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 sf
Peruvian Guano, and the caring and filing OF
the grain l consider better; | believe it 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 Eurg' larss
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 a drought
than guano."
d. WAKEFIELD, Esq, Carroll County, Nd,
says, February 18th, 1858; 81 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 nd
vantageous as the best No / Peruvian Guano.
have tried il twice on wheat, and found il
producing fully as large yield, and lately I
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 thatits cheaper and less troublesome.
JESSE HALL, Esq, Carroll Co., Nd, saws,
Jan Fl, 1858: applied De Burg to my
corn in the hill. My crop was a good one. l
am satisfied it will favorably compare with No.
Peruvian Guano.n
