Vine Manures. 
“ Mr. McFarlane, head gardener to Harvey Du Cros, Esq., at 
Cornbury Park, Oxfordshire (who has special facilities for conducting 
such experiments), has thoroughly tested our “Le Fruitier,” against 
three other well known Vine Manures, under exactly the same condi¬ 
tions, and conclusively proved (as so many others have done) that no 
other Fertilizer will give such good results as “ LE FRUITIER.”
