The Philadelphia Poudrette is an active, energetic, natu- 

 ral manure, is soluble {like barn-yard manure) without the 

 use of acids. It contains the soluble salta of plants, which 

 have served as food. These elements are indiapensable to 

 the development of cultivated crops, and in supplying 

 these excrements to the soil, we return to it the constitu- 

 ents which the crops have removed from it, and renew its 

 capability of nourishing new crops. It la an invaluable 

 manure for Tobaero and other plants requiring an early, 

 healthy start, and rapid growth, maturing them from ten to 

 fifteen dave earlier. The increasing demand and uniform ^ 

 satiafactiou it has given on all crops duriug the past three 

 years prove it a reliable fertilizer. A profitable and high de- 

 gree of culture requires a liberal supply of manure. 

 Circulars with testimonial can be had at the office of The 

 IjaneaHter Farmer, and at 101 North Queen St.
