E. PURSER & CO.'S 

 COFFEE MANURE. 



THE gradual decline of the Coffee Estates has been for some time a source 

 of extreme anxiety to all interested in their cultivation. 



Messrs. PUESER and Co. have been frequently consulted on the subject, 

 and having carefully investigated the causes of the failure of the crops, 

 prepare a manure containing all the organic and inorganic substances so 

 necessary for supplying the elements removed by repeated cropping. 



In preparing a fertilizer containing the mineral constituents of a plant, 

 it is not enough that these constituents be present, but it is further neces- 

 sary that they be in an available form ; that is, in such a form that they 

 can easily enter into assimilation and be readily taken up by the plant in 

 every stage of its growth. 



In the COFFEE MANURE prepared by Messrs. PURSER and Co., special 

 regard has been had to this ; the Manure is also in a concentrated form, 

 thus causing considerable saving in freight and labour. 



This MANURE has been used since 1870 with great success in the Madras 

 and Maugalore districts, as well as in Ceylon. 



The quantity per acre should be from 4 to 6 cwt.

PREPARED DISSOLVED BONES. 



THE value of Bones as a Manure for Coffee has been well known and proved ; 

 but Bones are slow in their action, particularly on heavy soils, and the 

 expense of collecting and crushing them very great- 



Messrs. PURSER and Co. have for many years manufactured the PRE- 

 PARED DISSOLVED BONES, an article well known and extensively used in 

 the Coffee districts. The fine state of subdivision of the Bone, and the 

 fact that portions of it have been acted on by certain acids, make it avail- 

 able at once for the food of the plant. 



The quantity used per acre 5 to 8 cwt,
