BARE & SUGDEN'S AUTUMNAL 



[1868. 



STANDEN'S GARDENERS' AND AMATEURS' FRIEND MANURE.— The finest fertilker 

 Avhich has yet been produced for all kinds of plants in pots and in the open gronnd, for improving grass 

 lawns, and for ]5rodiiciiig superior kitchen garden crops. The gardening community have had the oppor- 

 tunity of testing this manure for the last twelve years, and it is specially worthy of remark tliat those 

 who iiavc used it longest speak most highly of the extraordinary results produced by it. We may just 

 remark that Mr. Barnes, Kurserynian, Camberwell, one of the most successful and intelligent horticul- 

 turists of the day, uses this exclusively for his pot Vines, Azaleas, Camellias, and all such plants as are 

 benefited by manure. Messrs. James Veitch and Sons, Chelsea, Mr. Charles Turner, Slough, Messrs. 

 J. and C. Lee, Hammersmith, Messrs. E. G. Henderson and Son, St. John's Wood, and Messrs. Hugh 

 Lowe and Co., Clapton, regularly use this manure ; and Mr. John Standish, the well-known nurseryman 

 at Ascot, uses it very largely, and calls it " the wonderful manure." We could (piote a host of private 

 gardeners and nurserj'men around London, and all over the country, who use this extensively. In several 

 instances extraordinary Strawberries (produced under glass) which had been fed with this manure, wei-e 

 exhibited last spring, before the Fruit Committee of the Royal Horticultural Society. Samjile Canisters, 

 Is. and 2.<. (!(/. each ; Larger Canisters, 5s. Gd., 10s. Cd., and '21.i. each. It is sold in two qualities : No. 1 

 for hard-wooded plants, such as Azaleas, Camellias, Roses, Fruit Trees, &c., and for the open ground ; 

 and No. 2 for soft-wooded jilants. such as Geraniums, Bullis, &c. 



McDOUGALL BROTHERS' PHOSPHATIC MANURE — Prepared by these eminent chemists 

 with the gi-eatest care, for Floweriii;^ Plants, in pots or in the open ground, causing them to produce 

 larger, more perfectly fornied, and richer coloured flowers, than could be obtained by using either liquid 

 manui e or guano. For vine and peach borders, vines in pots, and orchard house plants, it is veiy superior 

 to farm-yard manure, and for kitchen garden crops the advantage of the Phosphatic Manure is obvious, 

 when we state that it possesses the stimulating properties of the purest Peruvian Guano, and, in addition, 

 contains a large percentage of soluljle phosphates, which furnish a supply of food till the crops are 

 matiu-cd ; it also prevents the soil becoming impoverished, as is the case when stimulating compounds 

 only are used. Crops to which it is ajjplied anive 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. Gd. ; 14 lb. bag, os. Gd. ; J cwt. do., KU. ; ^ cwt. do., ISs. ; 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 kmds of gi-een crops, wheat, grass, &c., per IJ cwt. bag, 25s., or 18s. per cwt. Terms for this latter, 

 per ton, on application. 



The following valuable Garden Manures we also keep in stock, and can recommend them. They are 

 pure, ar.d warranted of the best quality in the market. The Peruvian Guano and Cubic Petre we have 

 out of bond : — 



Peruvian Guano, Pure. — Tlio most stimulating, and, at the same time, the most rapidly available food

Cubic Petre, Pure. — This is used largely as a dressing for Grass and Green Crops, and the effect on these
