New York, September 1st, 1874. 
I have the pleasure to inform the agricultural community, 
that the Special Agency established for the sale of Genuine 
Peruvian Guano, In small or large lots, at the same price at 
which it may be sold by Messrs. Hobson, Hurtado & Co., the 
sole Agents of the Peruvian Government in this country, 
has met with great success so far. 
Verbal reports and numerous letters, received dally at 
this Agency, subject to the perusal of those Interested, ex¬ 
press entire satisfaction with the Guano sold by me last 
Spring. Farmers and country dealers are finding out that 
the Guano Imported now, is as good as it was until adul¬ 
terated by unscrupulous jobbers, In such a manner that 
many consumers were obliged to abandon its use. As, how¬ 
ever, the knowledge of this Agency has spread, they are 
availing themselves of this opportunity to obtain again the 
genuine article. 
By instructions of the Peruvian Government, their Agents 
here have advanced the price of Guanape Guano from this 
date to slxty-two dollars and fifty cents, ($62.50) gold, per 
ton of 2240 lbs., gross, establishing at the same time a new 
scale of discounts, the lowest being of 50c. on parcels from 
50 to 100 tons, and the highest $4.00 on 500 tons and over. As 
usual, they will not sell in lots of less than ten tons. 
Under this new arrangement I am 
enabled to fill orders for lots of ten 
tons and upwards, at less price than 
the Agents of the Peruvian Govern¬ 
ment. I will, as heretofore, supply 
quantities under ten tons at the same 
rate as charged by them. 
Full particulars given in circular mailed free on application.

The large annual increase of the sales of these Standard 
Fertilizers is the best proof of their merits. Their free¬ 
dom from adulteration, with every particle available for fer¬ 
tilizing, and the low price at which they are sold make it for 
the interest of every practical farmer to give them a fair trial.
