CAUTION. 
ITALIAN BEES. 
I learn from reliable authority—from those who knew of their 
exportation from Germany, and from those in this country 
who have seen them, that a spurious race of this lice has been 
imported into Philadelphia. After all my effor's to introduce the 
pure breed, I should much regret the general diffusion of a false 
one. Those who purchase, therefore, will benefit the public and 
confer a favor upon me. by demanding to see a bill of sale from 
me. The spurious breed is from an apiary in Germany, well 
known to have impure race. My own are direct from the 
mountains of Italy, where no other race is found.

The subscribers offer for sale 60,000 barrels of poudrette, made 
by the Lodi Manufacturing Company, in lots to suit purcha¬ 
sers. This article is in the twentieth year of i s introduction 
into this country, and lias outlived fertilizers of every other de¬ 
scription, for the following reasons : — 
1st. It is made from the night soil of the City of New-Y’ork, 
by the L. M. Co., who have a capital of over $100,090 invested 
in the business, which is at, risk should they make a bad article. 
2d. For corn and vegetables it is the cheapest, neatest, and 
handiest manure in the world, it. can he placed in direct contact 
with the seed, forces and ripens vegetation two weeks earlier, 
prevents the cut worm, doubles the crop., and is without disagree¬ 
able odor. Three dollars worth or two barrels is all sufficient 
to manure an acre of corn in the hi!!.. 
Price—1 bbl. $2 — 2^bills. 3.59—5 bids. $8, and over 6 barrels 
$1 50 per barrel, delivered free of cartage to vessel or railroad 
in New-York City.

GUANO. 
We would call the attention of Guano Dealers, Planters, and 
Farmers to the article which we have on hand and for sale at 
FORTY PER CENT LESS THAN PERUVIAN GUANO 
and which we claim to he superior to any Guano or fertilizer 
ever imported or manufactured in this country. This Guano is 
imported by WM. II WEBB, of New-York, from Jarvis’ k Ba¬ 
ker's Islands, in the “South Pacific Ocean,” and is sold genu¬ 
ine and pure as imported. It has been satisfactorily tested by 
many .of our prominent Farmers, and analyzed by the most em¬ 
inent and popular Agricultural Chemists, and found to contain 
(as will be seen by our circulars) a large per rentage of Rone 
Phosphate of Lime, and Phosphoric Acid, and other animal organ¬ 
ic matter, yielding ammonia sufficient to produce immediate 
abundant crops, besides substantially enriching the soil. It can 
be freely used without danger of burning the seed or plant, by 
coming in contact with it, ns is the case with some other ferti¬ 
lizers; retaining a great degree of moisture, it causes the plant 
to grow in a healthy condition, and as experience lias proved, 
free of insects. For orders in any quantity, (which will be 
promptly attended to,) or pamphlets containing full particulars 
of analyses and tests of farmers, apply to
