QUALITY AND CONDITION.
The quality of this Guano is materially i'm
proved this season by the addition to its compo-
sition of large per cent. of the
SALTS OF POTASH.
1t improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with facility and regularity through the
orifices of the
WHEAT DRILL.
More than ST. 100000 is involved in the produce
ton of this Guano and the trade in it has stead
lily increased, until now it far exceeds that of an
other fertilizer.
The Pacific Guano Company has a far greater
interest in the maintenance of the quality of its
Guano than any number of consumers can have;
hence no apprehension need exist as to its contin-
ued excellence.
