MANURES FOR FLOWERS, &C. 



BARE, & SUGDEN, APPOINTED SOLE AGENTS, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, FOR 

 Standen's Gardeners' and Amateurs' Friend Manure, inodorous, highly concentrated, and 

 exceedingly rich in the most essential fertilising qualities. It has proved much more efficient than manure 

 water or guano. It is laid in small quantities on the surface of the pot, and watered in, thua effecting a 

 great saving in labour ; and being perfectly inodorous, it maybe applied to plants in conservatories adjoining 

 the drawing-room, or even to plants in a sitting-room. In the garden it is sprinkled on the surface, 

 raked iu, and then watered. On Grass it soon produces a fine green sward. To the Amateur it is a most 

 valuable acquisition, and to the Gardener and Nurseryman, a real friend. Sample canisters, Is. and 2s. 6d. ; 

 large canisters, 5s. Gd., 10s. Gd., and 21s. No. 1 is applied to hard-wooded plants, such as Azaleas, 

 Camellias, Roses, Fruit-trees, &c. No. 2 is for soft-wooded plants, such as Geraniums, &c. When 

 required for the garden, No. 1 should always be purchased. This Manure has for irany years been 

 fairly and honestly tested, and has been found matchless. For testimonials, see former editions of 

 our Seed and Bulb Catalogues. 



BARR & SUGDEN, APPOINTED AGENTS, WHOLESALE AND RETAIL, FOR 

 McDougall Brothers' Phosphatic Manure, prepared by these eminent chemists with great 

 care for the use of Gardeners and Amateurs in conservatories, greenhouses, stoves, flower beds, and 

 borders. Applied to all kinds of Flowering Plants, whether in pots or in the open ground, this valuable 

 Manure induces a free growth, causing the plants to produce larger, more perfectly formed, and richer 

 coloured flowers, than could be obtained by using either liquid manure or guano. The Phosphatic Manure 

 is sprinkled on the surface of the soil, and watered in. For vine and peach borders, vines in pots, and 

 orchard house plants, this manure is very superior in nutritive qualities to farm -yard manure, and for 

 kitchen garden crops the advantage of the Phosphatic Manure is obvious, when we state that it pos- 

 sesses the stimulating properties of the purest Peruvian Guano, and, in addition, contains a large per- 

 centage of soluble phosphates, which furnish a supply of food till the crops are matured ; it also prevents 

 the soil becoming impoverished, as is the case when stimulating compounds alone are used. Crops to 

 which it is applied arrive at maturity earlier, and are more delicate in flavour, than those which have 

 been manured in the ordinary way or with guano. Sample canisters, Is. and 2s. 6d. : 141b. bag, 5s. 6d. ; 

 £cwt. do., 10s. ; £cwt. do., 18s. ; 1 cwt. do., 35s. We also supply an excellent Phosphatic Manure, by 

 the same eminent chemists, for agricultural purposes, and which can be applied to all kinds of green crops, 

 wheat, grass, &c., per 1± cwt. bag, 25s , or 18s. per cwt. Considerable advantage is given if purchased by 

 the ton. Terms on application.
