MORO PHILLIPS' GENUINE IMPROVED 

 SUPERPHOSPHATE OF LIME. 



The above Superphosphate., from which the 

 samples for analyses were selected, was purchased 

 from the manufacturer at his office in Philadel- 

 phia. It is put up in bags marked 200 Ibs. ; 

 the one purchased weighed 200 Ibs. The

 196 Ibs. The mechanical condition of both the 

 Superphosphate and the Phuine was very good,

 plied with a drill. We give the following quo-

 Phuine, he says nothing. Our analyses of the 

 latter will fully show its claims. 



" I^Calling the attention of buyers to this highly concen- 

 trated genuine SUPERPHOSPHATE, I guarantee it to be as repre- 

 sented." 



"I CLAIM, 



"First. That it contains less moisture than any other in 

 the market. The ingredients of this Superphosphate are Bone 

 Phosphate, Sulphuric Acid and Ammonia." 



"Second. It is more uniform in quality, one bag being a fair 

 sample of 10.000 tons." 



"Third. It contains more agricultural value than any other 

 Superphosphate of Lime in the market." 



" Fourth. The desire of the manufacturer to maintain his
