L.ODI MANUFACTURING COMPANY'S 
Common and Double Refined Poudrette at retail and 
wholesale. This valuable fertilizer has been manufactured 
the past season with more than usual care, and having an 
abundance of pure nigl/t-soil, it has been used without stint 
in its manufacture. We give but few of the hundreds of 
testimonials received from those who have used It the past 
season. 
E. W. Christie, of Haverstraw, N. Y, under date of Oct. 
20th, 1S70, says: " I used the Double Refined Poudrette on 
Corn, Potatoes, and Cabbage. I never saw better corn or 
more on the acre than I raised this year. I am satisfied the 
use of the Poudrette increased the yield fully one-third. It 
gives the plant an early start, makes it grow rapidly, giving 
less work to cultivate it ; I also find it a sure preventive of 
the Cut, or Wire-worm, which often destroys the young corn 
or cuts the roots. It more than doubled my yield ol pota- 
toes and cabbages." 
R. D. Pearce, of Squam Village, N. J., Bars in a letter da- 
ted Sept. 20th, 1S70: " I used the Double Refined Poudrette 
mostly on corn. The corn came up in a superior, healthy 
condition, and continued to grow faster and more stalky 
than that planted in Die same field with best barn-yard 
compost. lam well satisfied my corn is twice better than 
the cost of the Poudrette. I also applied it to pumpkins 
and other vines with much better results than with com- 
post." 
Price of Double Refined Poudrette, $25 per Ton. 
Common Poudrette, $2 per Barrel.

much indeed." "Wni. Crozier, Beacon Stock Farm, North- 
port, L. I., says: "It is the best Seed Sower I ever saw."

Of Harvard University. 
" How Plants Grow," "School and Field-Book of 
Botany" " Manual of Botany " " Structural and 
Systematic Botany" dtc, &c. 
The publishers beg to call the attention of those about 
forming classes in Botany to the well-known works by Pro- 
fessor Gray. Having been carefully revised, they present 
the latest and most accurate principles of :ind developments 
of the science, and it is sufficient indorsement of tliera to 
state that they are used In almost every noted College, High 
School, and Seminary in the «ountrv, and are recommended 
over other series by nine-tenths ot" the leading Professors 
and Botanical Teachers in the United States. 
No author has yet approached Professor Gray in the rare 
art of making purely scientific theories and dry details pop- 
ular and interesting. From his charming elementary work 
"How Plants Grow" to his more elaborate "Manual, there 
Is one simple, concise, and yet exhaustive method of teaching 
the various grades of the study. 
Descriptive Circulars, giving full titles and prices, will
