TRADE MARK. 



Is a complete, natural organic manure, containing the Sola- ' 

 able Salts of plants which have ^served as food. These ele- 

 ments are indispensable to the development of cultivated 

 crops, and in BUjiplying these excrements to the Soil we re- 

 turn to it the constituents which the crops have removed 

 from it, and renew its capability of nourishing new crops. 

 The increasing demand and uniform satisfaction it has 

 (fiven ou all crops during the past three years, prove it to 

 be a good and reliable Fertilizer. A profitable and high, 

 degree of culture requires a liberal supply of manure.
