ZOOltBS. 



The Fhilxlflphis Poudreite is an active, energetic, natu- 

 ral manure, is Boluble (lil^e barn-yard manure) without the 

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

 have served as food. These elements are indispensable to 

 the development of cultivated crops, and in supplying 

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

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

 capability of nourishing new crops. It is an invaluable 

 manure for Tobatco and other plants requiring an early, 

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

 fifteen dave earlier. The increasing demand and uniform 

 satisfaction it has given on all crops during the past three 

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

 gree of culture requires a liberal supply of manure.
