The great Desidcratum in the matter of a
CHEAP and EFFICACIOUS FERTILIZER has
been attained, after years Of seientifcand prac-
teal tests in the GUANO VIC 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 Agriculturists as superior to
any fertilizer in use. Three years since it wasin-
troduced into this country, first in Maryland, and
is now rapidly superceding the Peruvian, and in
extensive use in Maryland, Virginia, North Car
olina South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia,

produces them to IN extent which neutralizes to o

been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as fertili-
