Grass are truly wonderful.

Crop, containing the Plant Pood which each particu¬ 
lar Plant requires. These manures were used on more than 
10,000 acres in 18 1 7, and with Gieat Success.

Soluble 
Pacific Guano. 
The Superior excellence of this Guano has been so success¬ 
fully demonstrated during the past ten years in the Middle 
and Southern States, on cotton, corn, tobacco, sugar-cane, 
and garden vegetables—the Company’s sales having exceed¬ 
ed the enormous aggregate of 35,000 tons in a single season— 
that it is now offered for sale with entire confidence as to its 
merits. No fertilizer ever introduced in this country, has 
undergone severer tests, or come out of them with its char¬ 
acter as a first-class, reliable fertilizer more thoroughly es¬ 
tablished. Inconsequence of the satisfactory results of these 
very complete tests, this Guano lias acquired a reputation 
equal to that formerly enjoyed by Peruvian Guano. It is rich 
in Bone Phosphate ol Lime, finely ground (a large pro¬ 
portion of which is immediately soluble), Ammonia, and 
Potash, besides other ingredients valuable as plant-food, 
manufactured at the Company’s works, Woods Hole, Mass., 
and Charleston, S. C., under the supervision of competent 
chemists.

Hatfield Fertiliser. 
This is the only fertilizer professedly containing all the 
mil elements found in each crop. Prof. W. 0. Atwater, of 
the Connecticut Agricultural Station, analyzed six of our 
different fertilizers, and found in every case, as we guaran¬ 
teed, that they contained a larger percentage of 
plant-lbod elements than we claimed by the labels 
placed on eacli package. Send for circular. Address
