VIRGINIA FERTILIZERS, 



MANUFACTURED BY 



S. Me GEIJ DEE'S SON'S, 



RICHMOND, VIRGINIA. 



PHOSPHO-PERUVIAN GUANO, warranted to contain 8 per cent, of Ammonia 

 and 50 per cent, of Bone Phosphate of Lime. This, we consider, the very best Fer- 

 tilizer that can be used for Wheat. The ingredients are the dryest and best Peruvian 

 Guano, Bone Ash, and the richest and most soluble Phosphatic Guano that can be 

 obtained. Price per ton of 2,000 lbs. . . . $50 00 



BONE ASH GUANO, containing 5 per cent, of Ammonia and 70 per cent, of Bone 



Phosphate of Lime. Price per ton of 2,000 lbs. . . $50 00 



GROUND BONE ASH, containing 75 per cent, of Bone Phosphate of Lime, and 



ground to a very fine powder. Price per ton of 2,000 lbs. . . , $35 00 



A. A. WHITE MEXICAN GUANO, which we grind to a fine powder, containing 



75 per cent, of Phosphate of Lime. Price per ton of 2,000 lbs. . . $30 00 



Having been for many years largely engaged in the Guano Trade, and had opportunities of 

 testing fully the value of all kinds of Guano that have been imported into the country, enables 

 us to select the very best varieties for our preparations — and from repeated experiments that 

 have been made with all the ingredients we use, both separately and in combination, we are 

 satisfied that the Farmers will find our Fertilizers much cheaper than the Peruvian Guano, when 

 used alone. 



The Peruvian and Phosphatic Guanos vised are selected with great care, and always subjected 

 to rigid analysis. They are very dry, and ground to a line powder, and thoroughly and inti- 

 mately mixed. 



We will take pleasure in showing Farmers through our establishment, as there is no secret as 

 to the ingredients used, or process of manufacturing. 



ALL ORDERS will be promptly filled, when sent directly to us, or to our Agents.

Oak Dill, near Richmond, August 13, 1860. 

 I take pleasure in recommending S. McGrtUDEifs Sons' Phospho-Peruvian Guano to our farming- 

 community. They are gentlemen of high standing and strict integrity, — live in our midst, and 

 conduct their manufacturing in the city of Richmond. They have been extensively engaged in 

 the Guano trade for a longer period than any other house that I know of in the city, and their 

 facilities for the selection of ingredients for their fertilizers are unsurpassed. Their manufactur- 

 ing establishment is very large and complete, and at all times open for the inspection of farmers. 

 I have myself used their Phospho-Peruvian Guano under circumstances to test its excellence, 

 and the result is entirely satisfactory. LEO. ROSSER, 



j Editor Richmond Christian Advocate. 



I have used S. McGruder's Sons' Phospho-Peruvian Guano. I have never used anything like 

 it, and will use no other in future, if I can get that— much preferring it to Peruvian, and would 

 like for any one to see mv tobacco, it being very fine. JOSEPH LOVELACE,
