Nenparcil French Guano.

CHEAP and EFFICAClOUS FERTILIZER
has been attained, after years Of scientific
and practical tests, in the GUANO we are
now prepared to-offer dealers and faHners.-
After several years Of the seyerest possible
tests in France, where it was discovered and
introduced, it was pronounced by, both Chem
lists and Agricuiturists as superior TO any fer
tilizer in use. j. 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, Viygilia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tcnnsssee,
and Georgia, for the following reasons;
LIST. 1t can be supplied at about ONE raAaF
the cost of Peruvian. I'd. It has been pro-
ven to combine property peculiar to it., which
DESTROYS ALL INSECTS in the SOIL. where
the Peruvian produces them to an extent
which neutralizes toa great degree its feri-
lining qualities. Sd. 1t has been thoroughly
tested with Peruvian as fertilizer, and its
power attested as equal by all using both, and
by many the palm Of superiority awarded it.
= TO substantiate what we claim for it we
annex few Of the numerous certificates vol
UNFAIRLY placed at our disposal by those who
have thoroughly tried it.

Guano was used, are largely in advance of
adjoining plants. Haze neuey been injured By
insects, and have beautiful glossy appearance.
