De BURC.v

3HE BURGn is composed of chemically
~ prepared Peruvian Guano, Bones.
Flesh, Blood, &C., and is prepared expressly
10 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 n
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 scompound is much more general
ly valuable to the practical farmer than any
mixture OF phosphates ard ammonia or manip-
ulated guano'
Again There are other elements in De.
Burg to which attach as much importance ma
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 fertilizing and durable properties
of De Burg in addition TO It's 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
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 IL very much, as it grows
off quick and natures ii early It does not
affect or burn the roots Of corn like guano'--
My wheat sown with De Burg looks equally as
wei. as that beside it, sown with Peruvian
Guano.''
r. B. S0PER, Esq, Montgomery Co., Nd,
says. Jan. %, 1858: q | applied $50 pounds
OF De Burg per acre, on corn in the hill; this
consider 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 it is
more permanent fertilizer than guano.
HENRY BUSSARD, ESQ., Mount Airy, Car
roll Co. says 81 have the most glowing nc
counts from those who used the DE Eure' 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
II sustains the crop much better in a drought
than guano.
E. WAKEFIELD, Esq, Carroll County, Nd,
says, February 1lth, 1853: 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: 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 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, 1t
seems to me to be quite the equal of the Peru
Wan Guano. One decided advantage it pos
scsscs is thatit is cheaper and less troublesome.
JESSE HALL, Esq, Carroll Co.. Nd, says,
Jan 81, 1862 ~ applied De Burg 10 nv
corn in the HILL My crop was a good one. /
am satisfied it will favorably compare with No.
Peruvian Guano."
Take N office.
notwithstanding the great success Of De
Burg heretofore, as a rival of Peruvian Guano.

perties Of his compound, for our sales, fully
FIFTY PER CENT. We now challenge the world
to produce It's equal, at the same or an approx
innate price
