NOnpareil French GuanO.
~ The great Desideratum in the matter Of a
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
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 use in Maryland, Virginia, North Car
/ DINA, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia,
for the following reasons: ss 81 sfsfis
LIST. 1t can be supplied at about ONE HALF the
cost of Peruvian. I'd. 1t 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 neutralizes to
great degree its fertilizing qualities. Sd. 1t has
been thoroughly tested with Peruvian as ferili-
zer and its power attested as equal by all using
both, and by many the palm of superiority award
ed it. - - ~a
To substantate what we claim for it we annex
a few of the numerous certificates voluntarily placed
at our disposal by those who have thoroughly

zant that came under my notice. have used it
dissolved in water, and stirred in the sell MS 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

used''

ton; if any, seas fayor Of the former, and be-
