SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR. 
FERTILIZERS. 
STOCK FARM FOR SALE. 
H itherto the Planters of the South have been dependent on 
the North for all the artilicial 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 fill orders for the following 
FERTILIZERS at the same prices charged in Baltimore and New 
York: 
GROUND BONES. — For Fruit Trees and Grape Vines these 
are particularly benelicial. Five hundred pounds applied to an 
acre of ordinary pine -wood laud, aided by 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 baivells. The 
coarse is li cent per pound — the tine and sifted, 1 j cent per pound. 
Its great durability in the soil renders it the cheapest manure in 
"Bse. 
PHOSPHATED GUANO. — This valuable fertilizers, composed 
of equal parts of Peruvian Guano and line Bone Dust, is, in every 
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 
^e Guano and retains it until it is absorbed by the plants. A trial 
of 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 etfects for five years or more, by an annual in- 
crease of at least 10 per cent, in the croi)s. Put up in barrels of 
about 200 pounds each, at 2 cents per 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 hundred pounds, or about two barrels 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 Manure. 
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 tablespoonful 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 pinej' woods land having a clay 
subsoil, will enable it to yield as good a crop as any rdinary bottom 
land. A single hundi-ed pound applied as a top-dressing to an acre 
<»f meadow land, will increase its products at least a ton of hay. To 
Horticulturists, it is invaluable, as'it may be applied to Fruit Trees 
at any season of the year. More than two thousand bushels of Ruta 
Baga Turnips have been raised to the acre, by the application of 
200 pounds of this fertilizer. For Garden ci’ops, it is all that is 
necessary for success. 
The Super-Phosphate of Lime is put up in ban-els containing 
about 200 pounds, and is sold at 2 cents per pound. 
POUDRETTE. — Two large establishments in New York, tuni- 
ieg out o 50,000 barrels annually, are not able to supply the demand 
of the market gardeners in the vicinity of that city for this jmstly 
popular manure. It is composed of night-soil, deodorized and made 
aito a powder similar to Guano, and is put up in barrels at !|2 . 50 
per barrel. 
Orders by mail or otherv.-ise, addressed to the subscriber,
