EXCELSIOR is composed Of 700 pounds Of
No Peruvian Guano, and 1900 pounds Of Sol
uolo Phosphate Of Limo (bones dissolved in
sulphulic scid,) potash and soda, forming The
most concentrated, universal and durable fer
tizer over offered to the farmer-combin ing all
the stimulating properties of Peruvian Guano,
and the ever durable tertilizing properties Of
Ground Bones-supplyingan abundance of Am.
monia for any crop, and all soils, and IN per-
tectly txed condiion-not volatile and passing
off with tho first crop, as with Peruvian and
other ammoniscal guanos, but stimulating the
crop to which is is applied, and oil succeeding
ones, giving TO poor, worn out and unproduct-
| i've soils new life and vigor, making them, in
! this respect, equal to the most highly cult
waited lands upon which much time and money
have beer expended.
EXCELSIOR IS introduced in 1853. and we
challenge the manufacturers and vendors of fer
tiizers, natural or artificial Guano, toehow re-
suits so invariably successful as can be shown

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 cx-
pressly for drilling, and Can be applied in any
quantity pcr acre. however small and it is the
opinion Of the most prominent and calculating
farmers, Aber w ELV years experience IN
testing 1ls'de by sdo with other popular fertil-
izers, that an application of 100 pounds of Ex-
sior is equal to 200 to 300 pounds of any other
Fertilizer or Guano offered for sale, and there.
fore is fully 100 TO 200 per cent cheaper.
@sThe very best evidence we can offer of
tho value of Excelsior as q crop grower and
fertilizer, is the fact of its being initiated and
counter feited. Some unprincipled manufac-
turers have actually used tho trade mark for

lst The total prcclusion of tho possibility Of

Improved in
QUALITY AND CONDITION.
Tho quality of this Guano is materially i'm
proved this season by the addition to its COM
position of large per cent Of the
SALTS OF POTASH.
II is improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fno
to pass with f,cility and regularity through the
WHEAT DRILL.
Moro than 81 100, COO is involved in tho pro-
duction Of this Guano. and the trade in it has
steadily increased until now it far exceeds that
of any other fertilizer.
Tho Pacific Guano Company has far greater
interest in the maintanance o! hhu quality Of its
Guano than any number of consumers can
have; honco no apprehension mood exist as to its
continued excellence.
