Neiv York Urate^and Poudrette Company. 



Not incorporated but cai^ried on by indiridital enterprise. 



The manures are not divided among the Stockholders, as 

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

 plicants, yor cask on delivery. Orders are supplied in the 

 order of time in Schick they are received. Urate SO cents and 

 Poudrate 40 cents per bushel, with contingent charges lor 

 ha^s 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 smi-ll, 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 tliey have ever tried. 



Amended instructions for their use, the result of practic'l 

 e.vperionce.will be furnished on application. The efTeci o/" 

 Poudrette upon Grape Vines and Moms Mtdticaulis is bey- 

 ond all comparison. 



This company are erecting large and extensive works in 

 the vicinity of the city of New York lo prepare the manures, 

 and fanners and gardeners may confidently rely on a supply.

 Poudrate Company," Box, No. 1211, Post Office. New York,

The Company will be very much obliged to gentlemen 

 who have used the manures, to give them a statement in wri- 

 ting what has been the result of their use and experiments in 

 relation to them.
