Ihe great Desldcratum In the matter of
CHEAP and EFFICACIOUS FERTILIZER has
been attained, after years of scientiicand prac-
teal tests, rthe 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 bv
both Chemists and Agriculturists as superior 10
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. I'd. Ithas 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 3d. II has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as fertili-
ger, and its power attested equal by oil using
both, and by many the palm of superiority award
ed it.
TO substantiate what we claim for it we annex
q few of the numerous certificates voluntarily placed
at disposal by those who have thoroughly
tried it.

ano in various ways in the cultivation of plants,
fruit trees, grape-yines, roses flowers of all kinds
Oc
liant that erer came Under my notice. have used it
dissolved in water and stirred in the ssil as top
dressing. Butthe best mode, particularly for pot
ting purposes, is by mixing it in the proportion of
one load of composts to twenty pounds of the fer
tilizer. Knowing well its beneficial results, free
ly recommend it as the best thing l have ever
used"
From an Experienced Farmer and Planter
BALTIMORE, July 3lst, 1866.
Dear Doctor.-I used the Nonpareil French Gu
ano by the side of Peruvian on wheat oats, corn
and tobacco and could see no difference in its ac-
ton; if any, it acas in feuor of the former and be-
ieying it to possess the other advantage: claimed
for it, / shall certainly apply it alone on all my
crops for the future and freely recommend it to
farmers generally.
Yours very truly,

crops on which Nonpareil Guano by the side of
the Peruvian and the NonpareI consider best.''
