FEBTILIZERS. 
H itherto the Planters of the South have been dependent on the 
North for all the artificial fertilizers they have used The New 
Orleans Bone Black Company recently estabUshed in this city, with 
fmilitiesfor the manufacture of manures second to none in the Lnited 
States ar^prepared to fill orders for the following FERTILIZERS at 
the sam * prices charged in Baltimore and New York : 
GROUND BONES.— For fruit trees and grape vines these are par- 
ticularly benefi'-ial Five hundred pounds applied to an acre of ordin- 
ary Dine woodland, aided by good, deep plowing, will produce a crop 
of Cotton as large as any of the best bottom lacds. It is ground both 
fine and coarse, and is put up in barrels. The coarse is l^c per 
pound— the fine and sifted, l^c. per pound. Its great durability in 
the soQ renders it the cheapest manure in use. 
PH 0 SPH. 4 TED GUANO.- This valuable fertilizer, composed of 
equal parts of Peruvian Guano and fine Bone Dust, is, in every re- 
6pect superior and far more lasting than Guano used by itself. It is 
an established fact that Guano lacss 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 smell constant- 
ly emitted by it untill its strength is gone. 
Bone Dust is nothing more than Phosphate of L me, and this, be- 
sides beino- a strong and valuable manure, fixes the Ammonia in the 
Guano and retai' s it until it is absorbed by the plants. A trial of this 
fertilizer will satisfy any one of its curability and superior efficacy to 
simple Guano. Three hundred pounds applied to the acre will show 
its effects for five years or more, by an annual increase of at least 10 
percent, in the crops. Put up in barrels of about 200 pounds each, 
at 2 cents per pound. , . , 
SUPER-PHOSPHATE OF LIME.— This highly concentrated ma- 
nure is composed of Animal Matter, Sulphuric Acid, Bone Dust, Gyp- 
sum and Sulphate of Iron, each of which, by ifself, is a powerful fer- 
^ ^Ffve hundred pounds, or about two barrels of this Super-Phosphate 
of Lime have been found to be fully equal, in beneficial effects, to 
thir ty wagon loads of ordinary Stable Manure. 
The convenience of this article consists in its small bulk and con- 
sequent ease of handling. It may be used before or after planting of 
the crop. A tablespoonful put in each hili of Corn or Cotton, has 
been known to increase the yield twenty per cent. Five hundred lbs. 
to an acre of cotnnionpiiiey woods land having a clay subsoil, 'will en- 
.able it to yield as good a crop as any ordinary 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 Horticu- 
turists, it is invaluable, as it may be applied to Frcit Trees at any 
season of the vear. More than two tnousand bushels of Ruta Baga 
Turnips have ''been raised to the acre, by the application of 206 lbs. 
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 cents per pound. 
POUDRETTE.— Two large establishments in New York, turning 
out over fifty thousand, barrels annually, are not able to supply the de- 
mand of the market gardeners'in the vicinity 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 uji in barrels at $2.50 per 
Orders by mai' or otherwise, addressed to the subscriber, will re- 
ceive prompt attention, D‘C. LOMBER,

TEE ILLUSTRATED HOETICUlTURiST 
W ILL be published on or about the 1st day of July, an elegant 
illustrated monthly journal, containing 72 large royal octavo 
pages, devoted to the Rural Arts and the advancement of the Science 
of Horticulture in the United States. 
The want of such a JIagazine has long been experienced. The 
growing interest with which the rising generation view the science of 
ilorticultur.-, renders such a journal as the Illinitvated Horticultur- 
ist impei'atively necessary to the progress of rural affairs ; that it is 
destined to become the most popular Magazine of the kind in the 
world, no one can for a moment entertain a doubt. Its extreme ele- 
gance, large size, editorial ability, and that very important con- 
sideration, an astonishing low price, will command for it a widely ex- 
tended circulation. No expense will be spared to make it worthy of 
the attention of the Americ'n people, and .a work which, in a nation- 
al point of view, will do credit to its projectors' Mr. J. Van Tranken, 
an Artist of acknowledged talent, has been engaged to superintend 
and execute the engravings ; this important acquisition will secure 
the desideratum of unrivalled excellence in this department. 
The country gentleman who has, or contemplates, constructing a 
home in the country for his household gods will find the Illustrated 
IlorticvXtuiIst an invaluable companion both for practical purposes, 
and entertaining reading for the leisure hour. Its attractive ap- 
pearance will ensure it a place, even in the parlor. 
Nurserymen will find the Illustrated Ilorticidturist neces'aryto 
the advancement of their interests, as its columns will, monthly, con- 
tain all the latest information with regard to recent discovered fruits, 
flowers, etc., both in Europe and America. 
Rural Architecture will be one of the principal feat ul-es ofthe Illus- 
trated Ho> ticidtxin st ; each number will contain from two to four 
engravings of Model Cottages, from designs by eminent and skillful 
Architects. 
The Illustraiei HoriicuHurist will also have space devoted to the 
tasteful ar{ of Landscape Gardening. Engraved plans of Gardens in 
every style and adapted to the peculiarities of different orders of 
Architecture will accompany each number. 
The Illustrated Horticulturist will be printed on the finest quality 
of pearl surfaced paper, manufactured expressly. It will be issued 
regularly the first of each month. The following gentlemen, eminent 
for their ability in the science of Horticuhure, have been engaged to 
conduct the Editorial Department: H. P. Knight, James Snowden, 
and M. Focche, French Correspondent.

TO THE PLANTERS OF JSE SOUTH. 
T he Belleville Manufacturing Companj" would call your attention 
to-the different styles oi GEORGIA PLAINS, which they are 
now manufacturing for tfiecomifig season, believing they are better 
adapted to the wants of the South than any negro cloths manufactur- 
ed at any- point north of the Potomac. They have been successfully 
supplying the orders of Planters in the interior and on' the seaboard 
for a number of years, and have given satisfaction in every respect, 
so much so that none who have used them one season have failed to 
order them afterwards ; and the name has been considered so fair a 
guaranty of their qua'ity that in many cases the Northern Manu- 
facturers have endeavore.l to imitate and pass off their fabrics as 
the genmnofGeorQix Plains. Having increased the capacity to 
produce tfiese goods, we, therefore, desire to deal directly with the 
Planters, so they may get the genuine article f r their negroes, which, 
for warmth and wear, will save them more than its cost in Doctor’s 
Bills. ‘ * 
IVe are now making three styles, to wit: — The Heavy IVhite 
Twills at ^ cents ; the Heavy White Plains, 32 cents per 
yard ; the Brown A Plains, 21 cents per yard. 
The goods delivered at the Agency in Augusta, Ga , and forward- 
ed free of charge for forwarding, and to be settled for on receipt of 
the goods, by orders on any responsible Factor or Commission Mer- 
chant, payable on the 'st February next. All orders will be put up 
in quantities as directed, in a bale or bales, and can be shipped from 
Augusta to any point South or IVest at as Iowa rate of freight as 
from any point. Planters who have no regular Factor, can give a 
reference, either in Augusta, Charleston, Savannah, Mobile, Mont- 
gomery or New Orleans or in such place as they are known, and if 
satisfactory, the order will be entered at once and the goods put up 
and fori^arded at as early a date thereafter as possible. 
The highest market price will be given for WOOL, delivered 
in Augusta, in exchange for cloth. Address
