MANURE. 
Exceeds all others in general fertilising properties 
and staying powers. 
It promotes a rapid, healthy, and robust growth to 
plants generally. 
It is a clean and dry powder with very little smell 
The highly fertilising properties of this Manure 
render its money value, in comparison with other 
Manures, at least double ; and users will find that 
very small quantities will produce favourable and 
lasting results.
