THE FARMERS FRIEND.
A New Departure in Fertil-
lZerS.

NcssrS. Boyhin. GARNER < Co.
wholesale druggists. No. ; North
Liberty street, have maturcd and
developed a new plan OF enriching
our exhausted soils. which bids far
TO revolutionlze the whole system
Of fertilizers. The farmers owe
this enterprising house a debt Of
gratitude that they can never re-
pay. The plan i. for the farmer
instead Of buying ready manipul-
ated fertilizers, to buy the cheml-
cals-pure chcmicals-thosc that
contain the largest noun Of
potash. nitrogen and sol. phoSph.
acid, the three great elements OF
plant food, and manipulate them
selves at home. This Is cheaper.
with the advantage 10 the farmer
Of knowing what he buys. NcSsrS.
Boykin, GARNER x Co, have a
formula that they are selling in
large amounts. that they call the
CLONE Fertilizer The chcmi-
Gals to make 1900 lbs. Of this OK
cellent manure can be bought from
twelve to thirteen dollars. That
the reader may have some idea OF
the value of this manure, Messrs.
Boykin, GARNER 4 Co.. who began
selling it only about five years ago,
have already sold in the present
year of 1878 four thousand seven
hundred tons; and are at present
shipping thirty to forty tons daily
to Maryland and Virginia, for
wheat. The value of their expert
ment has been SO thoroughly cstaj-
lished, and there has been such a
determined effort on the part OF
INSCRIPTIONS dealers to sell cheap
and worthless material to make
their formula, that they have been
compelled IN self-defense to have
the name CLONE Fertilizers "
copyrighted, and the "formula"
patented. All who want a manure
hat Will make the largest amount
of money, will do well to call on
them at once. BE sure and call, or
send for their catalogue with re
cipc, directions, suggestions, ETC.,
all useful hints to the average
farmer. Investigate the matter for
yourself, and you will be apt to
buy. Messrs. Boykin, GARNER &
Co., who, by the by. are all North
Carolinians and Nirgin'ans, are
wholesale druggists, and keep full
lines Of drugs, patent medicines,
druggists sundries, etc, in fact, all
articles kept by physicians, drug
gists, and general dealers.
They claim, and are able to cs-
tablish the fact, that they are pio-
neers in selling chemicals for fer
tilizcrs. Since they have been so
successful in this branch of their
large and growing business, others
have rushed IN and are making ter
rife efforts, with all sorts of re-
cipes, to sell fertilizing chemicals,
with what success remains to be
seen. OF course, the farmers and
dealers who supply the former can

indebted for the great boon Of
cheap and reliable measures.
The house Of Boykin, GARNER 4
Co., is composed of the following
gentlemen, DR.. L. j. Boykin, of y.
c.; j. w. GARNER, of n. c.; A. S.
Baird, of W. Va; and J. G.. Stan
ley Md. The quarter occupied are
large, and afford every facility to do
a large trade, which we are happy
20 say they do, so the farmer will
consult his own interests by giving
this house a call, as the wares Of
fered are Of the very best quality,
and placed at the lowest figures the
market will justify. The house
supplies a want long felt and its en-
terprising p%roprietors on account
of the excellence of their wares, and
their constant care to aim to please
and accommodate their patrons,
are deserving of the most liberal
patrOnaoe.-Bulim0re Times.
