The Richest Natural Manure. Better than All Others, Natural or Artlflclal. 



This is a pure Natural Manure, and the most nutritious food for plants. Its effect is immediate ; much more lasting and 

 healthy than guano or any other manure. It is the best of all manures for m.ixing ^vith the soil for greenhouse plants — one 

 part manure and six parts soil. Strewn over and dug into the vegetable garden or placed directly in drills or hills, it 

 promotes a rapid, steady growth until matm-ity; all culinary vegetables reach their lughest quality only when growth is rapid 

 and tmchecked. It makes the richest, safest and quickest Liquid Manure, rivaling guano, without any deleterious effects. 

 For use in liquid form, one pound to five gallons of water will make a dark liquid which can be used with safety daily if 

 necessary. As a Lawn Top Dressing it is unequaled. In bags of 100 lbs. each, $3.00; ^ ton, 6 bags, $12.00; per ton, 20 bags,.
