FERTILIZERS. 



BLOOD AND BONE. 



This Fertilizer is made directly from the blood and bones of the animals slaughtered 

 at the immense abattoirs at Communipaw, N. J. It has been thoroughly tested by the 

 most intelligent market gardeners in the Bergen district of Jersey City, and all, with- 

 out exception, testify to its merits as a fertilizer. We ourselves, from our experiments, 

 believe it to be equal to the best Peruvian Guano, ton for ton, while the cost of the 

 Blood and Bone Fertilizer is fully twenty-five per cent, less than the Guano. 

 Price per 100 lbs., $5; per 1,000 lbs., $40 ; per ton, $65. 



PERUVIAN GUANO. 



From the large amount of ammonia and phosphate contained in pure Guano, it is 

 one of the best and most powerful stimulants for plants and growing crops. Before 

 using, it should be made fine, and may be mixed with loam, charcoal-dust, or plaster. 

 It should not be mixed with lime or ashes ; muck and clay also are not suitable. It 

 should not come in contact with growing plants. As it is nearly soluble in water, it is 

 most easily converted into liquid manure, and wheu applied in that form its effects are 

 almost immediate. One pound of Guano to twenty gallons of water will be sufficiently 

 strong for a single watering each week, and more efficient than repeated waterings 

 with weaker solutions. Per pound, 10 cents ; twenty-five pounds, $2 ; per bag of about 

 one hundred and sixty pounds, 6 cents per pound.
