Soluble 
Pacific Guano. 
Having taken the General Selling Agency of above Guano, 
the value of which has already been demonstrated on crops 
of cotton, corn, tobacco, sugar cane, wheat, roots, and gar¬ 
den vegetables—the Company’s sales having exceeded the 
enormous aggregate of 40,000 tons in a single season —we 
now offer the same for sale with entire confidence as to its 
merits. No fertilizer ever introduced in this country has ; 
undergone severttr 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 repu- ! 
tation equal to that formerly enjoyed by Peruvian Guano. I 
It is rich in Bone Phosphate of Lime, finely ground (a 
large proportion of which is immediately soluble), Am¬ 
monia, and Potash, besides other ingredients valuable 
plant-food. Soluble Pacific Guauo is manufactured at the 
Company’s Works, Woods Holl, Mass., and Charleston, S. 
C., under the supervision of competent chemists, and none 
offered for sale is genuine unless having the Company’s
