Special Formula for Tobacco. 
We have recently added to our List of Formulas, prepared in accordance 
with the system of Prof. Ville, a SPECIAL MANURE for TOBACCO, prepared 
from PURE PERUVIAN GUANO, HIGH GRADE SULPHATE OF POTASH, 
PURE GROUND DRIED BLOOD or FLESH, and PLASTER. 
The composition of this formula will be found to exactly correspond in Ammonia, Phosphoric Acid, and Potash 
to the demands of the Tobacco Crop. (See Table by Prof. W. O. Atwater given below.) 
The Ammonia is reduced proportionately in this formula to one half, leaving;, as practised by Prof. TiUe, to the 
nattiral capacity of the Tobacco plants the absorption of the balance of the Ammonia from the atmosphere. 
Removed from the Soil by a Crop of Tobacco: 
Leaves 1,800 lbs., (1,200 lbs. dry.) i Xitrogen 82 lbs., (equal to Ammonia, 100 lbs.) 
Stalks 1,100 lbs. dry. | Phosphoric Acid 221bs. 
Potash . 118 lbs. 
I, OOO lbs. of this TOBACCO FORMULA contains of: 
Nitrogen 50 lbs. | Pho^phf)ric Acid 50 lbs. | Potash 119 lbs. 
all in the "best form to develop a normal, liealtby gro"Wl,li of the plants, resulting in the liest qual- 
ity of leaf, and largely increased yield. 
This formula, as well as all others supplied by ns, is furnished at prices based strictly npon our established low 
schedule of rales, namely. Ammonia, per lb., IT^^^c. ; Phosphoric Acid, per lb., 9c. ; Potash, per lb., TXc 
Price of TOBACCO FORMULA, Ready Mixed, perton of 2,000 lbs., (bags 200 lbs. each).. $49.34 
Price per ton of 2.000 lbs., when shipped in lots of two tons and upwards in the form of tlie Ingre- 
dient In tbeir original packages $44.34 
No charge for packages. Cartage, 7,5 cents per ton.
