MANURES FOR FLOWERS, FRUITS, 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 quulities. It is much more elllcient 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 surfaoe, raked in, and then watered. On grass it soon produces a fine riok green sward. To the Amateur 
it is a most valuable acquisition, and to the Gardener and Nurseryman, a real friend. Sample canisters, la. and 2s. lie/. ; 
large canisters, 6s. GcZ.,10#. 6 d., and 21s. No. 1 is applied to hard-wooded plants, 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 
AI oDOUGALL'S PHOSPHATIC MANURE, prepared by those eminent chemists with great care for plants in conserva- 
tories, 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 finer flavoured fruit9, aud superior vegetables, than can bo 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 ; itdoc9 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 & Oo., Royal Nurseries, Ascot, have extensively used this 
manure, and say “ The Phosphatic Manure seems to suit everything. Wo 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. aud 2#. 6cZ. ; 14 lb. bag, 6s. dd . ; } cwt. do.,
