been attained, after years of scientifcand prac-
teal tests, in the GUANO we are now prepared to
offer dealers and farmers After several years of
the severest possible tests in France, where it was
discovered and introduced, it was pronounced by |
both Chemists and Agricultursts as superior to
any fertilizer in use 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,
for the following reasons:
lst. 1t can be supplied at about ONE HALF the
cost Of Peruvian. Cd. 1t has been proven to COM
bine a property peculiar to it, which DESTROYS
ALL INSECTS in the soil, where the Peruvian
produces them to an extent which neutraizes to a
great degree its fertilizing qualities. Sd. 1t has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as fertili-
zer and its power attested as equal by all using
both, and by many the palm of superiority award
ed it.
To subsantiate what we claim for it we annex
afew of the numerous certificates voluntarily placed
at our disposal by those who have thoroughly
tried it.

tensive and successful planters in Maryland, and
for years President of the State agricultural So
ciety, after thorough test, endorses it thus:
