 after three years' experience, the Company are enabled to recom- 

 mend the above as one of the best manures for Barley, Oats, 

 Spring Wheat, and more especially Turnips. By promoting a 

 rapid growth of the latter it secures a full plant, at the same time 

 produeing a great weight per acre, and extending its beneficial 

 effects to the succ eeding crops. The Urate may be sown broad- 

 cast, or which is preferable, by the drill, at the rate of one ton 

 to three acres, and it is desirable it should not be placed more 

 than two inches below the surface. As a sopdressing for Wheat 

 the Urate has been used with great advantage. Gardeners and 

 Florists will find it very useful for Dahlias and other roots. Full 

 particulars and Testimonials will be forwarded on application.

OTTER'S GUANO MANURE.— 



The Proprietor thinks it needless to say a word in recom- 

 mendation of the above Manures; he merely solicits attention 

 to the following testimonials.

Richmond. Dec. 2, 1842 



TESTIMONIAL FROM A. COTTON, ESQ. — " Potter's 

 Guano Manors was applied with great effect to a light land on 

 the estate of A. Cotton, Etq., HH4er*/tam Hall, Cambridge. On 

 a field of Barley, it produced maikcd effect,— the finest crop for 

 years, and the produce Six Quarters of Barley to the acre.— The 

 space marked out was conspicuous, being some inches higher 

 than that irom common manure. On part of a Grass Field the 

 application, which whs but lightly made, produced at least double 

 the proportion of HAY compared to the part otherwise manured. 

 A portion of it was applied to the Orange Globe Mangold Wurtzel, 

 the produce c-f which was of very large size, double that of others, 

 and Its effects on a bed of Parsnips was exti aordinary , producing 

 a crop exceeding any before seen. 



* 1 add a letter received from Mr. Cotton, in November, 1842. 



" Mr. Cotton informs Mr. Potter, that the Guano has arrived 

 at Hildeisham— Mr. Cotton has just taken his Mangold Wurtzel 

 up, part of which was manured with Potter's G uano , the rest 

 With Farm-yard manure; a square yard of each was weighed, 

 that with his composition weighed 40 lbs., the other 27 lbs.*' 



* It will be found, by multiplying the result of Mr. Cotton, by 

 4,840 (the number of square yards in the acre) that the yield 

 amounted to nearly 87 tons, 



Dk. Lino LBV says, in the Gardeners' Chronicle, Avg. 20. 1843, 

 "From the first appearance of the Manure called Pottkr's 

 Qoano, we have expressed an opinion that it would necessanl 

 prove one of the most useful of fertilising agents; and expcrl- 

 ence proves us to have been right. In addition to the published 

 accounts of last year wc are now able to state that on Asparagus 

 and other Kitchen Garden produce, its action ha* been most 

 beneficial during the summer. Little worn-out suburban gar- 

 dens, where, for rbvious reasons, manure cannot be applied, 

 have been restored to futility by two or three dretsings ; and have 

 been crowded uith foweis where plants could scarcely grow at 

 all before. We are therefore glad to lind that Potter's Guano 

 has experienced such a reduction in price as will induce both 



Farmers and Gardeners to avail themselves td it." 



Potter's (Jitano, continued. 

 " Potter's Guano is excellent for Meadow Land.** 



"One great advantage of Potter's Guano over Peruvian Guano 

 is, that it is of uniform quality, which the latter cannot very well 

 be."— Gnrdentrtf Chronicle, Aug. 26, 1843. 



The following- are extracted trnmthe same journal of this y<*af, 

 August 19th. In the Horticultural Gardens, near London, Pot- 

 ter's Guano was used with Jksftoragm* dissolved ui water, the 

 plant of a dark preen, and * * parti culnriy vi^nrous." The Peru- 

 vian Guano used at the same time did not produce so good au 

 effect. 



j At page 577- — "No kind of manure is better ndanted for poor 

 soils than Potter's Gaano." At page 560. — " You cannot employ 

 a better substance than Potter's Guano j it will convert your 

 desert into a paradise/' At page 4(34. — " We are inclined to 

 think Potter's Guano amongst the most powerful and manage- 

 able agents known." At page :ij6.~ "The be*t liquid roanu e 

 for Gardens is Potter's Guano, mixed with water." At page 16]* 

 — u Try Potter's Guano against the foreign." At page 57.— * 4 For 

 your Beans, try Potrcr's Guano mixed with two or three times 

 its buik of cmder-siftings, peat mould, black earth, or any suclt 

 substance." At page G32.— "2 cwt. per acre of this manure, 

 (Potter's Guano) will he found excellent for any field oop. % ' 



Mr. E. H. FutLKE, Florist of Worthing. September 1843, says— 

 w I have tried your Guano upon Geraniums wJth great success.'* 



Mr. Brock, of Burking, used it for Celery on the latest row he 

 planted, which nevertheless was the first lor use, and the finest 

 in his garden. 



The following notice is added from The Xew Farmer's Journal : 



Pottkr's Guano.— " This excellent composition has now 

 obtained a character which places it in the very first rank of 

 chemical fertilisers; and on Wheut-lunds in particular will be 

 found a most efficient manure." 



From a letter dated Lynn, July 24th, 1843.— "The sample sack 

 sent is sold to one of our first Agriculturists, who approves much 

 of it" 



From a letter dated Pembury, July 7th, 1843. — "It appears to 

 mc your Guano is pressing Wheat into a great tube." 



From a letter dated Sherbourne, June 2nd, 1843.—" I hear very 

 good reports of the Guano you sent me." 



From a letter dated Newton House, Bedale, Yorkshire.—" Hav- 

 ing used much of your Guano, and at all times been successful 

 with it, I recommend it to my friends and neighbours."— 



August Mh, 1843. 



• From a letter dated Salisbury, July, 1843.— "A gentleman that 

 I sent 17 cw:, of your Guano to is very much satisfied with it j he 

 has tried it upon different crops, and in different ways, and has 

 promised to give me his testimonials of it." 



From a letter dated Lewcombe Rectory, near Dorchester, Ang. 

 29th 9 1843.— 4t The trial I gave your Guano, last year for Turnips 

 was quite satisfactory." 



Froma letter dated Londonderry, Aug. 29th, 1813.— " I am happy 

 to inform you that some or the gentlemen who have tried it (Pot- 

 tkr's Guano), have cailtd hi, unsolicited, to tell me of its 



success." 



From a letter dated Dundee, July 26th, 1843.— "I have the 

 pleasure to inform you that your Glano has Lad a decided action 

 upon Grass and also Turnips." 



From a letter dated Cambridge, July 24th, 1843.— "The piece of 

 Turnips sown with Pottsr's Gu a no is now a fine crop." "A 

 piece next this, sown with Foreign Guano has totally failed, and 

 has been ploughed up and re-sown." 



From a letter dated May 23, 1843 (from the Rector of Rurnham 

 Thorpe.)—" 1 sowed your Guano broad cast after the Whcut was 

 iu . it now looks like Wheal dressed with saltpetre, and certainly 



has got together very much." 



Extract of a letter from the Rev. G. Wilkin s. Wis, inserted in 

 the Gardeners' Chronicle of Oct. I, 1S43— «• I determined to give 

 Potter's Guano a fair trial for WHEAT. The result has in every 

 respect answered my expectations. During the whole year the 

 crop on the part dressed with Potter's Manure had the advantage 

 overthat dressed with common manure, and towards harvest it 

 was very visibly sunerior, as was evident to all who saw it, being 

 thicker on the ground, the straw longer and firmer, and the ears 

 much larger, fuller, and heavier: 1 



From the Maidstone Journal, Oct. 31, 1843.— "It was stated at 

 an Agiieultural Meeting in this neighbourhood, that Potter's 

 Guano was preferable to the natural, as there was no danger of 



its being adulterated.'" 



From a Londonderry Paper, Oct. 1843.— "This valuable manure 

 (Pottkii'£ Guano), the efficacy of which is now fully tested, is 

 very remarkable we understand, in its effect on the production 

 of WHKAT. It has given general satisfaction to the gentlemen 

 and Farmers who made use oi" it last year— producing a yield 

 bevond their most sanguine expectations." 



From a letter dated Cambridge, Oct. 3, 1843:—" Bones, Farm 

 Manure, and your Guano have been tried together (on TUR- 

 NIPS),— all look well, but yours is certainly best:* 



From a I, tier dated Dartford, Oct. :\, 1S43:-" My friend told 

 me he had tried your Guano for TURNIPS, and liked it very well, 

 on a field where five other compositions were also tried. He 





Mr. Fetbergill half a ton of your Manure last January, aud have 

 every reason to be satbfied with the results." 



From a letter dated Bridgend, Oct. 5, 1843-.— "The crop grown 

 with your Guano is far superior to that which was manured with 

 Urate." " I believe yourcomposttion to be very far superior to any 

 other artificial manure I have met with." 



From a letter da I Exotic Nursery, Canterbury, Oct. 13, 1843: 

 'lhave now tried your Mixture with many crops, and with 



BA S. BROCCOLI, &c." ..

<< 



Sir, In 



answer to yours respecting your Guano, 1 beg to luiorm you that 

 I find it a most excellent manure for the Kitchen and Flower 

 Gardens, and for Greenhouse Plants of every description." 



»* I assert without hesitation that there were no crops in this 

 neighbourhood equal to those in my Kitchen- garden ; and the 

 effects upon the Imwer-beds and borders were perfectly astonish- 

 ing. Although the season was unfavourable, scarcely any of my 

 annuals failed, and the number of plants v is quite double what 

 could reasonably have been calculated upon. This was owing 

 to the use of Pottkr's Guano, which I received last Nov. (1842) 

 just as 1 was making up my P«»«/-beds. I nsed it upon them, 

 and although my Flowers were iate, they were nearly all mnch 

 larger than I ever had them before, and remained in full bloom 

 longer than I erer recollects—John Jlitson, Sunderland.
