B R U C E'S 
fOlEfflRATED MANURE, 
Unices* Concentrated Manure Is no longer an 
experiment. Three years' trial has proved its superiority 
over all other fertilizers. It is not because of Its 
VALilJABIiE COJttPOriVDS 
alone, that we claim its 
Great Fertilizing; Povrer ; 
it is also in the Patent process througU ^vhich it 
passes in its ntanufacture, by which we are ena- 
bled to coicetUrate the necessar-y food for vegetation. 
Bruce's Concentrated manure 
was first brought to the notice of the Agriculturists of this 
country in the year 1862. About Fifty Tons were sold 
during the year, direct to farmei-s, with satisfactory results. 
The following year flS63) orders came in to the amount of 
Four Hnndred Tons, only Two Hundred of 
which could be furnished. The past year (1S64) we sold near- 
ly Six Hundred Tons, and notwithstanding the severe 
drought it has more than met our expectations. In order 
to supply the demand the coming season, we have been 
obliged to enlarge our Factory, and with improved Ma- 
chinery and enlarged facilities, we hope to be able to man- 
ufacture, 
Two Tlxoxxsancl Tons. 
Those who liavc already proved the value of 
Bruce's Concentrated Manure, 
and those desirous of testing its 
Fertilizing Poorer, 
are CAUTIONED from purchasing an article bearing 
the name of Bruce's fertilizer ; supposing it to be siiunu 
pure, as sold by us. The article sold by us is branded on 
eacli barrel,

Fbirnds— Tour favor asking our opiuion about "Bruce's 
Concentrated Manure " is received. I in reply would say 
that we have used it the past season with the most jiratify- 
m% results. Tlie season was so dry that wc could not test it 
as wc would have wished. We used it on our potatoes, hoe- 
in? it in after they were up, and the yield was greater than 
by any concentrated manure we have ever used. It has well 
paid the investment on our gardens. For most crops we 
prefer it to the No. \ Peruvian Guano. AVc shall want more 
of it the comins season. Have you it on hand-' and what 
is the lowest price. Kespectfully yours, 
D. C. Brainaed.
