AMMONIATED SUPERPHOSPHATE 
T HE attention of Farmers and Planters is 
respectfully called to the above invaluable compound, for 
their approaching spring planting. 
The Manufacturer begs to assure his friends and patrons, tha* 
they may always depend upon being supplied with a Genuine 
and uniform article, for he constantly superintends, in person, 
the entire process of manufacture and putting up for sale. 
This article has now been before the community for a period 
ol' five years, during which time it has been analyzed by a large 
number of Chemists in different places; has been TRIED by 
farmers upon every kind of soil, in nearly every State in the 
Union, with almost unvarying success. 
In response to my prsposition, two years since, to allow any 
responsible farmers or Agricultural Societies to take, free of 
cost, a quantity of it wherever they might find it on sale, and 
give it the most searching practical trials, I am happy to be 
able to statethat many of the most influential Agricultural So¬ 
cieties have made such trials, and have pronounced their un¬ 
qualified approbation of it as a valuable and paying manure. 
Please refer, for proof of this, among others, to the Reports of 
the “ Massachusetts State Farm’' for 1355, and for the present 
year. 
Perhaps one of the best proofs of its value is the greatly in¬ 
creased demand, unprecedented in the history of artificial fer¬ 
tilizers, and not equalod by guano itself. I have now (Feb. lst( 
OF LIME. 
orders for more than $100,000 worth, received since the com¬ 
mencement of the present year, but having greatly enlarged my 
works, adding the new factories of which a water-side view is 
given above, I hope to be able to supply orders to any extent 
that may be required. 
As there are a large number of Superphosphates inmarket, 
for the value of which I would not like to be responsible, I 
earnestly request all purchasing to be careful to get tho GEN¬ 
UINE article, either from myself or my accredited agents, who 
are always of acknowledged respectability. For the Superphos¬ 
phate purchased from such houses, I hold myself responsible for 
its good character. 
The Superphosphate is packed in bags holding 150 lbs. each, 
and in barrels containing about 300 lbs. each. No charge is 
made for bags or barrels. In small quantities I will deliver it 
—cartage free—on board any vessel or railroad leaving New- 
York City, for one dollar per tun. 
CASH PRICE, $45 per tun of 2,000 lbs.

Corn and seeds to come up sooner, ripen two weeks earlier, and 
yield one-third more than o her manures, and is a SURE PRE¬ 
VENTIVE of the Cut Worm.

Description of the Plant .—This is an original and entirely dis¬

Blackberry,” improved by cultivation, (the plants which abound 
in that neighborhood being no better than those growing wild in 
every other part of the country.) It differs in shape, size and 
quality from every other known variety. For descriptive circu¬

F ish guano.—T he narragansett 
MANUFACTUING COMPANY, of Providence, H. I., 
are now prepared to execute orders for their FISH GUANO. 
They have prepared their Guano after two methods. One by 
chemically treating, cooking and then drying and grinding the 
fish to a powder. This is put in bags and sold at $45 per luu. 
The other variety is prepared as above (with the exception of 
drying and grinding), and is then combined with an absorbant 
which is in itself a valuable fertilizer, and sold at two dollars 
per bbl. containing about 200 lbs. The compost is of great 
strength, and must De a very efficient fertilizer, as it is com¬ 
posed in great part of simple flesh and bones offish. 
Dr. Charles T. Jackson, of Boston, has made an analysis of the 
Powder, and says: 
” It is similar to the Peruvian Guano in composition, with the 
exception that the ammonialmatter is dried flesh,of fisn,andnot 
yet putrefied, so as to be ammoniacal. It will, however, pro¬ 
duce ammonia by decomposition in the soil. One hundred grains 
of this manure, dried and finely pulverized, was submitted tv» 
analysis, with the following result: 
ANALYSIS . 
Ammonial matter (flesh or fish) - 48.00 
Phosphate of Lime - - - - - 33 90 
Carbonate of Lime ------ 7 .60 
Sulphate of Lime ------ 6.40 
Potash of Soda -.- 4.10 
100.00 
Respectfully your obedient servant, 
CHARLES T. JACKSON, 
Assaser to the State of Massachusetts.” 
Dr. Jackson’s opinion of our Guano is expressed in the follow 
me note; Boston, March 9, 1855. 
S. B. HaLLIDay, Esq.—Dear sir: In reply to your letter, I 
would state my entire confidence in the superiority of a properly 
prepared artificial guano, made from fishes, over that of the nat¬ 
ural guano of birds, obtained from the coast of Peru. 
It is obvious that more of the nitro-geneous, or ammonia- 
producing substances, exist in fish prepared after your method, 
than are found in any guano, and hence the artificial prepara¬ 
tion will go further in the fertilization of a soil. 
The ammoniacal salts act chiefly in bringing the foliage into a 
healthy and luxuriant condition, and thus causes the plant to 
absorb more of the phosphate and other necessary salts and sub¬ 
stances from the soil, and more carbonic acid from the air. The 
carbonate of ammonia, also, is a solvent for humus, and it quick¬ 
ly saturates any injurious acid salts that may exist in the soil, 
and forms from some of.them valuable fertilizers. 
Respectfully, your obedient servant, 
C. f. JACKSON, M. D., Statute Assayer, Stc. 
This manure is offered to agriculturists with the assurance of 
its becoming one of the most popular to be obtained. The Com¬ 
pany are ready to establish agencies at such places as are desir¬ 
able for the convenience of farmers. As the supply for the sea¬ 
son is rather limited, the Company would esteem it a favor to 
have orders forwarded early to enable them to lay down at their 
agencies the requisite quantities in proper time for use. Orders 
may be addressed to to the Company at Providence, or to R. L. 
Allen, New-York ; R. H. Pease, Albany; Geo. Buck, Hartford.
