The "CAROLINA FERTILIZER" is made from the Phosphates of South Carolina, and is pronounced by various chemists, one of the best Manures known, only inferior to Peruvian Guano in its Fertilizing Properties. These Phosphates are the remains of extinct land and sea animals, and possess qualities of the greatest value to the agriculturist.

We annex the analysis of Professor Shepard.

Analysis of a sample of CAROLINA FERTILIZER, personally selected.

<table><tr><td>Moisture expelled at 212° F.</td><td>16.70</td></tr><tr><td>Organic Matter, with some water of combination expelled at a low red heat.</td><td>16.50</td></tr><tr><td>Fixed Ingredients</td><td>66.80</td></tr><tr><td>Ammonia</td><td>2.60</td></tr><tr><td>Phosphoric Acid—Soluble</td><td>6.96</td><td>Equivalent to 11.27 Soluble Phosphate of Lime.</td></tr><tr><td>Insoluble</td><td>6.17</td><td>Equivalent to 13.48 Insoluble (bone).</td></tr></table>

<table><tr><td></td><td>13.13</td><td>24.75 Phosphate of Lime.</td></tr><tr><td>Sulphuric Acid</td><td>11.01</td><td>Equivalent to 23.65 Sulphate of Lime.</td></tr><tr><td>Sulphate of Potash</td><td></td><td>86</td></tr><tr><td>Sulphate of Soda</td><td></td><td>3.50</td></tr><tr><td>Sand</td><td></td><td>11.06</td></tr></table>

On the strength of these results I am glad to certify to the superiority of the CAROLINA FERTILIZER, examined.
