STANDEN'S 



MANURE. 



Established over 30 years. 



THIS OLD-ESTABLISHED MANURE 

 is acknowledged by most of the leading 

 practical Gardeners in the United Kingdom and 

 the Colonies to exceed all others in general 

 fertilising properties and staying powers. It 

 promotes a rapid, healthy, and robust growth to 

 plants generally. It is a clean and dry powder, with 

 very little smell, whioh renders it particularly 

 adaptable for ladies interested in plant culture. 



TESTIMONIAL FROM AMERICA. 



" We have used STANDEN'S MANURE for some years, and 

 have never found any fertiliser so safe and valuable. Its action 

 is literally ' magical.* We have tried it on unhealthy plants 

 ■which seemed past recovery, and it has restored them to their 

 natural vigour. However valuable other fertilisers may be, 

 none can oe compared to this. Camellias grown in the 

 same pots for 10 years are as healthy as if just repotted. — 

 C. M. Hovey, Boston, U.S.A., May 27, 1887."
