SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR. 
FERTILIZERS. 
H itherto the planters of the South have been dependent on 
the North for all the artiticial fertilizers they have used. The 
New Orleans Bone Black Company recently established in this city, 
with facilities for the manufacture of MANURES second to none 
in the United States, are prepared to till orders for the following 
FERTILIZERS at the saane prices charged in Baltimore and New 
York; 
GROUND BONES. — For Fruit Trees and Grape Vines these 
are particularly beneficial. Five hundred pounds applied to an 
aero of ordinary pine wood land, aided b}- good, deep plowing, will 
produce a crop of Cotton as large as any of the best bottom lands. 
It is ground both tine and course, and is put up in barrells. The 
coar.se is li cent per pound — the fine and sifted, Ij cent per pound. 
Its great diirability in the soil renders it the cheapest mamu’e in 
use. 
PHOSPHATED GUANO. — This valuable fertilizers, composed 
of equal parts of Peruvian Guano and fine Bone Dust, is, in everj" 
respect, superior and far more lasting than Guano used by itself. It 
is an established fact that Guano lacks Phosphate of Lime, and, 
also, that one half of its fertilizing qualities are dissipated in the air, 
which is plainly to be perceived by the strong ammoniacal small 
constantly emitted by it until its strength is gone. 
Bone Dust is nothing more than Phosphate of Lime, and this, be- 
sides being a strong and valuable manure, fixes the Ammonia in 
the Guano and retains it until it is absorbed by the plants. A trial 
»f this fertilizer will satisfy any one of its durability and superior 
efficacy to simple Guano. Three hundred pounds applied to the 
acre will .show its efiects for five years or more, by an annual in- 
crease of at least 10 per cent, in the crops. Put up in barrels of 
about 200 pounds each, at 2 cents i)er pound. 
SUPER-PHOSPHATE OF LIME.— This highly concentrated 
manure is composed of Animal Matter, Sulphuric Acid, Bone Dust 
Gypsum and Sulphate of Iron, each ot which, by itself, is a power 
ful fertilizer. 
Five luindred pounds, or about two baiTels of this Super-Phos 
phate of Lime have been found to be fully equal, in beneficial ef 
fects, to thirty wagon loads of ordinary Stable Ma,nure. 
The convenience of this article consists in its small bulk and con 
sequent ease of handling. It may may be used before or after plant 
ing of the crop. A tablcspoonful put in each hill of Corn or Cotton 
has been known to increase the yield twenty per. cent. Five hun 
dred pounds to an acre of common piney woods land having a clay 
subsoil, wili enable it to yield as good a crop as any rdinary bottom 
land. A single hundred pound applied as a top-dressing to an acre 
of meadow land, will increase its products at least a ton of hay. To 
Horticulturists, it is invaluable, as it may be ai^plied to Fruit Trees 
at any season of the j'ear. More than Uvq thousand bushels of Ruta 
Baga Turnips have been raised to the acre, by the application of 
200 pounds of this fertilizer. For Garden crops, it is all that is 
necessary for success. 
The Super-Phosphate of Lime is put up in barrels containing 
about 200 pounds, and is sold at 2 e'ents per pound. 
POUDRETTE. — Two large establishments in New York, tum- 
ieg out 0 50,000 barrels annually, are not able to supply the demand 
of the market gardeners in the viemity of that city for this justly 
popular manure. It is composed of night-soil, deodorized and made 
into a powder similar to Guano, and is put up in barrels at $2.50 
per barrel. 
Orders by mail or otherwise, addi'essed to the srrbscriber, 
will receive prompt attention. D. C. LOWBER,
