NonpareiI French Guano.

CHEAP ssand EFFlCACIOUS FERTILIZER has
been attained, after years Of scientifcand prac-
teal tests, IN the GUANO we are now prepared ia
offer dealers and farmers. After several years Of
the seyerest possible tests in France where it was
discovered and introduced, twas pronounced by
both Chemists and Agrieulturists as superior t.
any fertilizer in Three years since it was in
troduced into this country, first in Maryland, and
is now rapidly superceding the Peruvian, and in
extensive use in Maryland, Virginia, North Car
DINA, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia,
fol the following reasons
lst 1t can be supplied at about ONE HALF the
cost OF Peruvian. I'd 1t has been proven to COM
bine property peculiar to it, which DESTROYS
ALL INSERTS In the soil where the Peruvian
produces them to an extent which neutralizes to q
great degree its fertlizing qualities. 3d. It has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as a fertiI-
ger, and its power attested as equal by .ll usins
both, and by many the palm of superiority award
ed it.
To substantiate what we claim for it we annex
few of the numerous certificates voluntarily placed
at disposal by those who have thoroughly
tried it.

tensive and successful planters in Maryland, and

BALTIMORE, July Both, 1866. :
Dear Sir Il have been making some expert
ments with Nonpareil French Guano with marked
benefit upon beets, parsnips, carrots and cucu n

are largely in advance of adjoining plants. Hare
never been injured By insects, and have beautiful
glossy appearance. | am well satisfied, that I
shall use several tons this season upon grain crops,
and for the future use it largely.
Very truly yours.

lant that erer came under ing notice. have used it
dissolved in water and stirred in the sell as top

and tobacco, and could see no difference in its ac-
ton; if any, it ,cos IN faror Of the former, and be-
lieving it to possess the other advantages claimed
