SOUTHERN PLANTER— ADVERTISING SHEET.

ATTENTION FARMERS! 



Guano Direct from Patagonia. 



Referring to our advertisement in the August 

 number of the Southern Planter, we have now 

 the pleasure of informing the Farmers that after 

 making some chemical tests here of the Guano 

 therein referred to, and having unquestionable 

 proofs of its being genuine Patagonia Guano, we 

 secured the cargo of the Mary Francis. She 

 came on directly to our port without breaking 

 bulk, and we are now having the Guano bagged 

 at our wharf. It is the only cargo of Patagonia 

 Guano in the United States, so far as we can as- 

 scertain, and of it there are only 350 tons, nearly 

 half of which is already sold, mostly to those 

 who have used Patagonia Guano several years 

 ago — all of whom, so far as we can learn, were 

 pleased with the results, both on the crop of 

 grain and the succeeding grass and clover. 



Our own opinion is based on the experience of 

 those who have used Patagonia Guano hereto- 

 fore, among whom we name N. W. Harris, Esq., 

 of Louisa; Richard Sampson, of Goochland; W. 

 G. Crenshaw, Richmond; W. C. Scott, Orange; 

 Dr. W. L. Wight, Goochland. 



From the chemical tests of this cargo, we are 

 very favourably impressed with its value, and 

 have great hopes that alone, it will have a fine 

 effect ; but as it has only a limited quantity of 

 ammonia, which of all other fertilizers gives 

 promptly the greatest growth of straw, it is not 

 expected that it will at once shew such an effect 

 as Peruvian Guano, yet we think the Soluble 

 Phosphate of Lime will increase the quantity of 

 grain very materially. Our W. G. Crenshaw 

 therefore intends to combine it with Peruvian 

 Guano in equal quantities, and we would advise 

 its general use in this way ; at the same time we 

 want all to use a portion of it alone, and we hope 

 accurate experiments will be made and reported 

 to us, that we may be prepared with supplies 

 for the next crop, provided, as we have now 

 every reason to hope, the result will be satisfac- 

 tory. 



We think, therefore, that each farmer will con- 

 sult his interest by making a portion of his pur- 

 chases this fall of the Patagonian Guano. Price 

 $40 per ton of 2,000 pounds, delivered at the 

 Depots or Boats. CRENSHAW & CO.,
