NO EQUAL

FERTILIZER. 
The Richest Natural Manure, Better than All Others, Natural or Artificial. 
This is a pure Natural Manure, and the most nutritious food for plants. Its effect is immediate ; much more lasting and 
healthy than guano or any other manure. It is the best of all manures for mixing with the soil for greenhouse plants—one 
part manure and six parts soil. Strewn over and dug into the vegetable garden or placed directly in drills or hills, it- 
promotes a rapid, steady growth until maturity; all culinary vegetables reach their highest quality only when growth is rapid 
and unchecked. It makes the richest, safest and quickest Liquid Manure, rivaling guano, without any deleterious effects. 
For use in liquid form, one pound to five gallons of water will make a dark liquid which can be used with safety daily if 
necessary. As a Lawn Top Dressing it is unequaled. In bags of 100 lbs. each, $3.00; 34 ton, & bags, $12.00; per ton, 20 bags, 
$40.00. in packages of 2, 4 and 10 lbs., 15 cts., 25 cts. and 50 cts. each.

This is valuable solely for the nitrogen it contains, equal

it is used in addition to other fertilizers. It is very quick in 
action and hastens the maturity of crops fully two weeks. 
Quantity required. Being extremely soluble it should 
not be applied until the plants are above ground, when 100 to 
500 pounds per acre, mixed with wool aslies or land plaster, 
convenience in applying, are generally used. Price, per 5 lb. 
package, 30 cts.; 10 lb. package, 50 cts,
