Soluble 
Pacific Guano. 
The Superior excellence of this Guano has been so suc¬ 
cessfully demonstrated during the past ten years in the Mid¬ 
dle and Southern States, on cotton, corn, tobacco, sugar-cane 
and garden vegetables—the Company’s sales have exceeded 
the enormous aggregate of 35,000 tons in a single season— 
that it is now offered lor Rule witlventire 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 reputa- ' 
tion equal to that formerly enjoyed by Peruvian Guano. It 
is rich in Bone Phosphate of Lime, finely ground (a 
large proportion of which is immediately soluble), Ammo¬ 
nia, and Potash, besides other ingredients valuable as 
plant-food. Manufactured at the Company’s works, Woods 
Holl, Mass., and Charleston, S. C., under the supervision of 
competent chemists.

MATFIELD FERTILIZER. 
This is the only fertilizer professedly containing all the 
soil elements found in each crop. Prof. W. O. Atwater, of 
the Connecticut Agricultural Station, analyzed six of our 
different fertilizers, and found in every case, as we guaran¬ 
teed, that thev contained a larger percentage of 
plant-food elements than we claimed by the labels 
placed on each package. Send for circulars. Address
