QUALITY AND CONDITION..
The 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.
tits improved in condition by being brought
into market sufficiently dry and uniformly fine
to pass with facility and regularity through the
orifces of the 7u1p,n np11
More than 81 100 600 is involved in the pro-
duction of this Gusno, 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 tho maintenance Of the quality OF It's
Guano than any number of consumers can
have; hence no apprehension need exist as to its
continued excellence.

EXCELSIOR is composed of 700 pounds OF
No. Peruvian Guano, and 1900 pounds of Sol
uble Phosphate Of Limo Clones 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 the ever durable tertilizing properties of
Ground Bones-supplyingan 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 Peruvia an and
other ammoniacal guanos, but stimulating the
crop to which is is applied, and all 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 tho manufacturers and venders of fer
tilizors natural or artificial Gusno, to show re-
suits go invariably successful rs can be shown

PERINTENDS IN PERSON EVERY MIN.
fore warrant every bag uniform, and to contain
by analysis the standard of fertilizing proper
tics, giving that protection to the farmer which
he does not nave 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, Aer TWELVE years experience in
testing tM6e by side with other popular fertil-
izers, thai IN application of 100 pounds Of Ex-
sior is equal to NO to 800 pounds of any other
Fertilizer or Gusno offered for sale and there.
fore is fully 100 10 200 per cent cheaper.
EB-The very best evidence we can offer of
tho value of Excelsior as crop grower and
fertilizer, is the fact of its being initiated and
counterfeited. Some unprincipled manufsc-
turers have actually used tho trade mark for
the purpose of pslming off their worthless COM
pounds.
