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 ions in a -single season — 
that it is now ofiered for sale witli 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 lirst-class, reliable fertilizer more thoroughly es¬ 
tablished. In consequence of the satisfactory results of these 
very complete tests, this Guano has acquired a reputation 
equal to that formerly enjoyed by Peruvian Guano. It is rich 
in Bone Phosphate ot Lime, finely ground (alarge pro¬ 
portion ot 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

and all Gardeners will find my new work on “ Vegetable 
Plants ” indispensable, as it gives explicit directions for 
growing all kinds of plants in open ground and under glass, 
also more valuable information on noxious insects than was 
ever before published. Dr. F. M. Hexamer, of New Castle, 
N. Y., says: “ Many a single page contains more valuable 
hints than could be obtained for ten times the cost of the 
whole book.” On receipt of $2.50 I will mail one copy of 
this book and one pound of the finest and beet Premium 
Flat Dutch Cabbage Seed you ever saw 1 In support of this 
assertion I will send testimonials from many eminent Hor¬ 
ticulturists, and a sample of the seed free to any address.
