FERTILIZERS.

CHARLESTON, S. c.,
November /, 1875.
Having been engaged for twenty years in
the Guano Trade with eminent success,
deemed it advisable to introduce Fertilizers
under my own name and guarantee. I have
made arrangements to have prepared a
Guano unde! my inspection and control,
called ROBSON'S COTTON AND CORN
FERTILIZER. This Guano is of the high
est standard. 1t contains, among other
valuable ingredients, three per cent of Am.
monia, one and half per cent. Of Potash,
and fourteen per cent. of Available Phos.
phate. also have prepared for me a
COMPOUND ACID PHOSPHATE Of the
highest standard. These Fertilizers are
compounded of the purest materials, and
are Manipulated and tested under the su-
pervision of DR.. ST. J. Ravenel, of this city,
whose name gives warrant for their high
character and adaptation for our soil. l
Offer these Fertilizers 10 Planters on the
following favorable terms:
ROBSON'S COTTON AND CORN FER
TILIZER,
Cash, S44 per ton; on time, $50.
EOBSON'S COMPOUND ACID PHOs-
PHATE,
Cash, S28 per ton; on time, $35.
Planters ordering Immediately will be al
lowed to the first Of April to decide which
they prefer, cash or time. An order for
car load Of eight tons will be sent free Of
drayage; but for less amount 81 per ton
will be charged. On orders for large lots
from Changers or dealers, liberal discount
will be allowed.
take this occasion to return my thanks
to those who have so largely patronized
the Fertilizers hitherto offered by me, and
in soliciting their favorable attention to an
other, pledge my best efforts to meet
continuance Of confidence by keeping the
highest standard of Fertilizers adapted 10
