MANURES FOR FLOWERS, FRUIT, AND VEGETABLES. 



Barb & Sugden, Agents, Wholesale and Retail, for 



STANDEN'S GARDENERS' AND AMATEURS' FRIEND MANURE, inodorous, highly concentrated, and exceedingly 

 rich in the most fertilizing qualities. It is much more efficient than manure-water or guano. It is laid in small quantities 

 on the surface of the pot, and watered in, thus effecting a great saving in labour ; and, being perfectly inodorous, it may be 

 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 in, ana then watered. On grass it soon produces a fine rich green sward. To the Amateur 

 it is a most valuable acquisition, and to the Gardener and Nurseryman, a real friend. Sample canisters, 1*. and 2s. Gd. ; 

 large canisters, 5s. Gd., 10s. Bd-, and 21s. No. 1 is applied to hard-wooded plant3, such as Azaleas, Camellias, Roses, Fruit 

 Trees, Vegetables, etc. No. 2 is for soft-wooded plants, such as Geraniums, etc. 



Barr & Sugden, Agents, Wholesale and Retail, for 

 McDOUG ALL'S PHOSPHATIC MANURE, prepared by those eminent chemists with great care for plants in conser- 

 vatories, greenhouses, stoves, flower beds and borders, and for vine and peach-borders, vines in pots, orchard-house plants, 

 and kitchen-garden crops. It induces early maturity, and a free, vigorous growth, producing more richly-coloured and 

 perfectly-formed flowers, larger, better-coloured, and liner flavoured fruits, and superior vegetables, than can be had by 

 using farm-yard manure only, liquid manure, or guano. The Phosphatic Manure possesses the stimulating properties of the 

 finest Peruvian Guano, with a large proportion of soluble phosphates which furnish a supply of food till the crops are 

 matured ; it does not leave the soil impoverished, which is frequently the case when stimulating compounds only are used, 

 but it increases the fertility of the soil. Messrs. John Standish & Co., Royal Nurseries, Ascot, have extensively used thi« 

 manure, and say: — "The Phosphatic Manure seems to suit everything. We put 2 lbs. to a barrow-load of potting soil, and 

 it is wonderful how the plants root into it and flourish." Sample canisters, Is. and 2s. Gd. ; 14 lb. bag, os. Gd. • \ cwt. do.,
