The Pacific Guano Company has far creator
interest in the maintenance of the quality of its

continued excellence.

EXCELSIOR is composed of 700 pounds Of
No. Peruvian Guano, and 1900 pounds of Sol.
uble Phosphate Of Limo (bones dissolved in
sulphuric acid,) potash and soda, forming the
most concentrated, universal and durable fer
tilizer ever offered to the fsrmer-combining all
the stimulating properties of Peruvian Guano,
and tho ever durable tertilizing properties Of
Ground Bones supplyingana abundance of Am.
monia for any crop, and all soils, and IN per.
fectly fixed condition-not volatile and passing
off with the first crop, as with Peruvian and
other ammoniacal gusnos, but stimulating the
crop to which is is applied, and all succeeding
ones. giving to poor, worn out and unproduct-
i've soils now life and vigor, making. them, IN
this respect, equal to the most highly Guilt
waited lands, upon which much time and money
have beer expended.

tilizers, natural artificial Guano, to show re-
suits so invariably successful IS can be shown

UTE OF ITS MAN UFACTURE and there
| fore warrant every bag uniform, and to contain
by analysis the standard of fertilizing proper
ties, giving that protection to the farmer which
he does not have in the purchase Of any other
Guano or Fertilizer sold.
Excelsior is in fine dry powder. prepared ex-
pressly for drilling, and can be applied in any
quantity por acre, however small; and it is the
opinion of the most prominent and calculating
FARMERS, aler EhVE years experience IN
testing it side by side with other popular fertil-
izers, that an application of 100 pounds OF Rx-
sior is equal to zoo to 300 pounds of any other
Fertilizer or Gusno offered for sale, and there
fore is fully 100 to 200 per cent chea per.
ND-The very best evidence we can offer Of
the value of Excelsior as crop grower and
fertilizer, is tho fact of its being initiated and
counterfeited. Some unprincipled manufac-
turers have actually used the trade mark for
the purpose of palming off their worthless com.
pounds.

THE BOQUET WATCH.

This new style of watch is one of the
most ingenious and exquisite pieces Of
mechanism we have ever seen. 1t is a
miniature time piece, enclosed in an ar
tificiai rose, which is intended to be placed
in the centre Of a boquet, so that lady
may be able 10 consult the time without
offending the dignity Of her cavalier
The watch is exposed or concealed from
view, at pleasure, by opening or closing
the flower, the calyx and stem are made
Of gold aud the petals of silk. The
leaves are so arranged and connected
with slide in the stem that by moving
the slide they are made to move spirally,
spreading or closing themselves up &C
cording to the direction Of the movement.
drawing the ietals with them, and chang
ing the flower from bud to a fall blown
rose. and Uice cersa.
The stem is long enough to protrude
through the stock of a boquet, SO that
the slide can be easily worked.
The boqet watch, arranged in the cen
ire Of a boquet with the petals of the
rose closed up, attracts no more attention
than an ordinary rose bud, and resembles
one but, at the pleasure Of the lady
carrying the boquet, the petals are open
ed, and in the centre Of the flower, the
dial, which is of the circumference of
silver dime, is exposed to view.
These unique watches are made in
Geneva from design furnished by
member of one of our largest firms en-
gagged in the manufacture of watches.
