■ 1 ® pAI?T)ENERS* AND AMATEURS’ FRIEND MANURE, inodorous, highly concentrated, and exceedingly 
rich m 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 pi »nts in conservatories adjoining the drawing-room, or even to plants in a sitting-room. In tho garden it is 
sprinhied on the surface, raked in, and then watered. Ou grass it soon produces a fine rich ereen sward To the Amateur

McDOUGALL’S PHOSPHATIC MANURE, prepared by those eminent chemists with great care for plants in conserva 
tones, greenhouses, stoves, flower beds and borders, and for vino and peach-borders, vines in pots, orchard-house plants', 
ana Kitchen-garden crops. It induces early maturity, and a free, vigorous growth, producing more richly-coloured and 
perJectly-fonned 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 Phosphatic Manure possesses the stimulating properties of the 
lmest a eruvian Guano, with a large proportion of soluble phosphates which furnish a supply of food till tho crops uro 
matured; it does not leave th« soil impoverished, which is frequently the case whon stimulating compounds only are used 
but it increases the fertility of the soil. Messrs. John Standish & Co., Royal Nurseries, Ascot, havo extensively used this 
manure, and say “ l lie Phosphatic Manure seems to suit everything. Wo put 2 lbs. to a barrow-load of potting-soil, and
