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 ions 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. 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 (a large pro¬ 
portion of whicn is immediately soluble), Ammonia, and 
Potash, besides other ingredients valuable :\s plant-food, 
manufactured at the Company’s works, Woods Hole, Mass., 
and Charleston, S. C., under the supervision of competent 
chemist.*
