Not incorporated but carried on by individual enterprise. 



The manures are not divided among the Stockholders, as 

 are those belonging to another establishment, kut sold, to ap- 

 plicants, for cash on delivery. Orders are supplied in the 

 order of time in which they are received. Urate 50 cents and 

 Poudrate 40 cents per bushel, with contingent charges for 

 bags or barrels, &c. 



■The company are daily preparing for use, during the 

 warm, dry weather, the materials collected during the past 

 winter, and will have several thousand bushels ready before 

 the first of October next. The material is disinfected and 

 rendered free from offensive smell, by a compound, every 

 part of which is in itself a good manure. 



The experience of the past and present years, 1838 and 

 1839, on Long Island, has satisfied many of the farmers 

 that these manures have the quickest operation upon vegeta- 

 ble matter, producing greater abundance, and the cheapest 

 of any manure they have ever tried. 



Amended instru(Uions for their use, the result of practidl 

 experience, will be furnished on application. The effect q/" 

 Poudretle upon Grape Vines and Morus Muliicaulis is bey- 

 ond all comparison. 



This company are erecting large and extensive works ir 

 the vicinity of the city of New York to prepare the manures 

 and farmers and gardeners may confidently rely on a supply.
