French GuanO.

CHEAP and EFFICACIOUS 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 tests in France, where it was
discovered and introduced, it was pronounced by
both Chemists and Agricuturists as superior to
any fertilizer in Three years since it was in
troduced into this country, first in Maryland, and
is rapidly superceding the Peruvian, and in
extensive use in Maryland Virginia, North Car
DINA, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia, |
for the following reasons:
LIST. 1t can be supplied at about ONE HALF the
cost of Peruvian. I'd. It 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 neutralzes to q
great degree its fertilizing qualities. Sd. 1t has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian a fertil
ger, and its power attested equal by all using
both, and by many the palm Of superiority award
ed it,
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.

Dear Sir i have been making some expert
ments with Nonpareil French Guano with marked
benefit upon beets, parsnips, carrots and cucum-

are largely in advance of adjoining plants. Hape
never been injured By insects, and have beautiful
glossy appearance. I am well satisfied, that
shall use several tons this grain crops,
and for the future use it largely.
Very truly yours.

says: II have tried your Nonpareil French Gu
ano in various ways in the cultivation of plants,
fruit trees, grape-vines roses, flowers of all kinds
lant that under my notice. l have used it
dissolved in water. and stirred in the sell as top
dressing. But the 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
tilzer. Knowing well its beneficial results, free
ly recommend it as the best thing l have ever
used.' -t --4 ff

ano by the side of Peruvian on wheat oats. corn
and tobacco and could see difference in its &C
ton; If any, acas in faror Of the former, and be-
leving it to possess the other advantages claimed
for it, shall certainly apply it alone on all my
crops for the future, and freely. recommend it to
farmers generally.

crops which Nonpareil Guano by the side of
the Peruvian and the Nonpareil l consider BEST
In another letter, dated March 26th, 1867: $50

Indeed the report is, that difference is seen be-

were used

| farm.
