'ii&E FOR V A 
Professor Church, of the Royal Agricultural College, 
Cirencester, says, 11 1 am muoh pleased with the thoroughly 
satisfactory character of Carter’s Fertilizer.” 
Carter’s Fertilizer is a manure specially prepared for the 
use of gardeners and amateurs, and its speciality over other 
manures is its nutritious and stimulating powers, in super- 
inducing a quick, healthy, and vigorous growth, it is therefore 
specially recommended to be used in all forcing operations : 
it will also be found the best and cheapest Manure for the 
Flower Garden, Kitchen Garden, pot plants, Fruiting plants 
in pots, including Vinos, Strawberries, Orchard House Trees, 
Cuoumbers, &o., Fruit Trees, Vine Borders, and Strawberry 
Beds, and is highly beneficial if applied as a Liquid Manure 
for Lawns. Directions for Use will accompany each Tin . 
Report and Analysis of Carter’s Fertilizer, by Professor CHURCH, M.A., F.C.S., Professor 
of Chemistry, Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. 
I have submitted to oareful analysis the sample of Carter’s Fertilizer forwarded to me a few days since. The 
Fertilizer satisfies all the conditions of an excellent Horticultural Manure. Its physical condition is first-rate, it is 
free from excessive moisture ; it contains in large amount those ingredients of plant food whioh it is necessary to 
supply in a manure, and it contains these ingredients in effective combination and in due proportion . 
The phosphates in the Fertilizer occur in their most available conditions, and constitute more than four-tenths of 
the weight of the Manure ; while the nitrogenous matters are equivalent to nearly six per cent of ammonia, an 
amount of this stimulating and valuable ingredient which it would probably not be safe to exceed. 
I ought to add that the inert matters in Carter’s Fertilizer are reduced to a minimum.
