GUANO. 
We would call the attention of Guano Dealers, Planters, and 
Farmers to the article which we have on hand and for sale at 
THIRTY PER CENT LESS THAN PERUVIAN GUANO 
and which we claim to be superior to any Guano or fertilizer 
ever imported or manufactured in this country. This Guano is 
imported by WM. H WEBB, of New-York, from Jarvis’ & 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 centage of Hone 
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, as 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 has 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 
JOHN B. SARDY, Agent, 
No. 58 South-st., corner of Wall-st., New-York.
