Nonparcil French Guano.

~ The great Desidcratum in the matter Of
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 sevcrest 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 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:
1st. 1t can be supplied at about ONE HALF the
cost of Peruvian. I'd. 1t has been proven to COM
binc property peculiar to it, which DESTROYS
ALL INSECTS in the soil, where the Peruvian
produces them to an extent which neutralizcs to
great degree its fertilizing qualities 3d. It has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as fcrtili-
ger, and its power attested as equal by oil using
both, and by many the palm of superiority award
ed it.
To substantintc what we claim fer it we annex
afew of the numerous certificates voluntarily placed
at our disposal by those who have thoroughly
tried it.
JOHN MERRYAAN, ESQ.,, one Of the most ex-
tensive and successful planters in Maryland, and

BALTIMORE, July 30th, 1866.
Dear Sir II have been making some expert
ments with Eonparei French Guano with marked

are largely in advance of adjoining plants. Hare

glossy appearance am SO well satisfied, that
shall several tons this season upon grain crops,
and fer the future use it largely.
Very truly yours.

Dear Doctor used the Nonparsil French Gu

and tobacco, and could sec no difference in its ac-
ton; if any, scas foror of the former, and be-
lieving 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.
