French Guano.

CHEAP and EFFICACIOUS FERTILIZER has
been attained, after years of scientifcand prap.
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 wss
discovered and introduced. it was pronounced BY
both Chemists and Agriculturists as superior to
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 in Maryland, Virginia, North Car
ofna, South Carolina Tennessee, and Georgia.
for the following reasons:
1st It can be supplied at about one HALF the
cost OF Peruvian. 3D. It has been proven to COM
bine property peculiar to it, which DESTROYS
ALL INSECTS in the soil, where the Peru7iaA
produces them to an extent which neutralizes to q
great degree its fertlizing qualities Sd. It has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as ferili-
GER and its power attested as equal -by all using
BOTH and by many the palm Of superiority awari-
ed it.
To substantiate what we claim for it We annex
few of the numerous certificates voluntarily placed
at our disposal by those who have thoroughly
tried it.
