TO THE FARMER.
Nonparcfl French Guano.
N The great Desideratnm in the matter Of a
CHEAP and EFFfCACIOtS FERTILIZER has
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 in France, where it was
discovered and introduced, it was pronounced by
both Chemists and Agriculturists as superior to
any fertilizer in use. Three years since it was in
PRODUCED into this country, first in Maryland, and
is now rapidly supcrceding the Peruvian, and in
extensive use in Maryland, Virginia, North Car
DINA, South Carolina Tennessee, and Georgia,
for the following reasons: .t3 54
1st. 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 INSECTS in the soil, where the Peruvian
produces them to an extent which neutralizes to a
great degree its fertilizing qualities. Sd. It has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as fertii-
ger, and its power attestcd as equal by all using
both, and by many the palm of superiority award
ed it. si#ttt fAH wF
TO substantiate what we claim for it we annex
afew of the numerous certificates voluntarily placed
at our disposal by those who have thoroughly
tried it. flt t1y
JOHN MERRYMAN, Esq, one of the most ex-
tensive and successful planters in Maryland, and
for years President Of the State Agricultural So
ciety, after q thorough test, endorses it thus
s Baltimore, July 30th, 1866.
Dear Sir II have been making some expert
ments with Nonpareil French Gllano with marked
benefit upon beets, parsnips, carrots and cucum-
bers. The plants upon which the Guano was used,
are largely in advance of adjoining plants. Have
nerer been injured By insects and have beautiful
glossy appearance. am so well satisfied, that l
shall use several tons this season upon grain crops
and for the future use it largely.
Very truly yours.
