MANURES FOR FLOWERS, FRUITS, AND VEGETABLES. 



Barr & Suoden, Agents, Wholesale and Retail, for 

 STANDEN'S GABDENEH8' AND AMATEURS' FRIEND MANnitE, inodorous, highly concentrated, and exceedinciv 

 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, and 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, ]«. and 2« (id • 

 large canisters, 5s. 6(/., 10«. Bi , and 2I«. No. 1 is applied to hard-wooded plants, such as Azaleas, Camellias, Hoses Friiit 

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

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

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

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

 perfeotly.formed flowers, larger, better-coloured, and finer flavoured fruits, and superior vegetables, than can be had by 

 using farm-yard manure only, liquid manure, or guano. The Phosphatio Manure posaesse s 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 Standiah & Co., Royal Nurseries, Ascot, have extensively used this 

 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 rjanisters, Is. and 2». 6(i. ; 11 lb. bag, 6«. 6<i. ; \ cwt.' do.

LAWSON'S PHOSPHO GUANO.— Of this manure Professor Liebig speaks as follows: — " I can say with conviction that
