MANIPULATED GUANO.

IN
TOBACCO FERTILIZER.
The JAMES RIVER MANUFACTURING
COMPANY again offers to the planters and
farmers of Virginia and North Carolina its
we'll es established MANIPULATED GUANO,
prepared from pure Peruvian and Phosphate
iNeyassa) uano-the latter finely ground on
burr millstones-mixed in equal quantities
and assuming the former to contain from fiji
teen to sixteen per cent. of ammonia and the
la alter from seventy to SeventytWo per cent.
of phosphate of lime, we have, for the ma
nipulated article, about eight per cent of the
first and thirtysix per cent. of the latter.
This is known rs our
REGULAR PREPARATION
of 1000 pounds Peruvian and 1000 pounds
Nevassa-price, $40 per ton of 1000 pounds
and is recomm ended rs a choice fertilizer in
the cultivation of tobacco, furnishing all the
ammonia needful for this crop, and assisted
by liberal supply of Bone Phosphate OF
Lime to impart weight and substance to the
plant, and ut the same time protecting it from
the bad effects Of q too dry season, when the
excessive use of Peruvian is always injurious.
But, to meet the views of those who insist
upon larger proportion of Peruvian Guano,
the formula is changed for another, combin-
ing two thirds of Peruvian twelve per cent.
Of ammonia) with one-third OF Nevassa
(twenty- -four per cent. of phosphate of lime)
and called our
SPECIAL PREPARATION
OF 1855 POUNDS OF PERUVIAN dnu ooi POUNDS OF
Nevassa. Price, $50 per ton of 1000 pounds.
This splendid article approaches more
nearly to the pure Peruvian than any other
ever offered to the public and is the choice of
many successful tobacco planters, who yet
cling to the largest proportion of this unri-
vailed source of ammonia-the pure Peruvian
Guano. For all the grain crops-corn, oats,
rye, and wheat-it stands without rival, and
challenges all competition.
Should mixture be preferred to contain
less ammonia and more of the phosphate of
lime-say one third 1857 pounds) of Peruvian
and two thirds 1883 pounds) of Neyassa-
which, for some soils and under peculiar cir.
cumstances, may be all that is required, it
it can be furnished ut the reduced price of $50
per ton of 1000 pounds.
Fort he COTTON crop 1t is precisely the fer.
tilizer needed. A moderate quantity will be
prepared, and supply kept constantly on
hand.
GROUND PERUVIAN GUANO.
This article, in which a marked success has
been attained in finding means to GRIND Peru
Wan Guano in its driest state on millstones,
and reducing it to the use Of the drill with
out in the slightest degree impairing it's quail
ity, Is kept always on hand, the price being
governed by that of the crude article, with a
small advance for loss in weight by handling
(the purchaser getting his full 1000 pounds)
and the cost OF the labor and machinery en-
ployed, but an actual saving TO the buyer,
who, by no process OF his own, can so cheaply
or efectually prepare 1t for use.
It is only necessary to add that all the Pc
ruvian Guano used by this company is pro-
cured direct from the agent Of the Peruvian
Government in New York, the only importer
into the United States, and it is, therefore,
impossible for any one TO offer 4 better or
purer article
Orders can be addressed through the com
mission merchants of the city, or directly to
