These Manures have been proved, by careful experiments extending over a period of from three to four years, to be one of the most re markable andusefuldiscovericsof modern times; and all who have tried them testify to their excellence and superiority over Guano, and all other known Manures and Fertilizers, They have been tried with perfect success on Grass, Wheat, and other grains; Peas, Beans, Potatoes. Asparagus, and other vegetables; Vines and Fruit-trees of all descriptions; Shrubs and Flowering Plants or every variety, and Young Trees. They stimulate the growth in an extraordinary degree, increase and beautify the foliage and bloom, and, as has been shown by numerous tests, DOUBLE THE PRODUCE of everything to which they have been applied. They do not burn or exhaust, the soil. The effects which they produce are permanent. They are a protective against Blights, Slugs, and other insects iniurious to plants and vegetation. One ton is equal to more than two tons of Guano in power and oifect. No ultimate deleterious results arise from their use. Guaranteed pure and unadulterated. The above Patentee's advertisement, C. T. Wren is in a position, in some measure, to en dorse, he having used it with excellent results. Potatoes on ground that seven tons of Kidneys to the acre would have been a good crop, by the aid of this manure have raised ten tons per acre. In Horse-beans, about 50 bushels to the acre is considered good, but with this manure, over 75 bushels have been reaped, and in many other items, equally good results. The manure is easily applipd, and entirely inoffensive in its character, and is suitable for a Lady's Flowr Garden, or the Farmer's fl«ld- C.T-W. hop«s to have constant supply, and at present is in i position to o'it'er it at £18 per ton ; 20* per cwt.; and in Tin Canisters, at is and Is (id each.
