CARTER’S FERTILIZER. 
Professor Church, of the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester, says, “ I am much 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 ovor 
other manures is its nutritious and stimulating powers, in superinducing 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 tho Flower Carden, Kitchen Garden, pot plants, Fruiting plants in pots, including Vines, Strawberries, 
Orchard House Trees, Cucumbers, &c., Fruit Trees, Vine Borders, and Strawberry Bods, and is highly benelicial if 
applied as a Liquid Manure for Lawns. 
Directions for Use mill 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 havo submitted to careful 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 which 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 
tho 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.
