Our Little “Blossom.”
Fold up the rich, embroidered dress,
Lay by the precious, tiny shoe,
The white plumed hat, the flaxen tress,
Her pretty sash and armlets, too;
A mother’s heart with grief is thrilled,
For Death the wearer’s pulse has stilled.
The laughing eyes are curtained in
With lids which seem so strangely doad,
While o’er the breast, so pure from sin,
The dimpled hands are gently spread;
The merry, prattling voice is hushed,
And fondest earthly hopes are crushed.
Away has flown the nestling dove,
And lone and sad the mother weeps
Her babe, whose fair face shines above,
Though in the tomb its body sleeps;
The rosewood crib is vacant now—
Alas! she must submit—but how?
Her lamp of hope seems dimly lit;
No breath of dewy blossoms mir
The windows of her heart admit,
No sparkling sunshine enters there;
Life now a broad Sahara seems,
No blessing in the future gleams.
Why thus lament in sadness lone?
Why let those tears of anguish fall -
Why grieve that one so young has down.
Why back to life the loved one call?
A life, at best, with ill so fraught
That three score years are counted naught.
Look up! look up! the jasper walls
Are nearer now than e’er before;
With beckoning hand your loved one calls—
For peace stands there—come o’er,
And gain the joy, and song, and rest
Within the mansions of the blest.

Peruvian, Guano, 600 “
Muriate of Soda, 100 “
(Patented.)
I CLAIM for the above Fertilizer that it is
richer in the elements valuable to
tho Cotton Planter than any article sold in
Georgia or the Carolinas. To establish this
claim I refer to analyses of the best Agri
cultural Chemists in the country,Di-.Liebig,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shepard, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of South Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
1 refer to Planters who have tested it with
almost every article known in the market.
In many instances using two pounds to one
against me. I claim it is the
CHEAPEST,
though high priced, because In each pound
of it there is as much valuable material as
in two pounds of any of the cheap rock
phosphates. IT IS DRYER, FINER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. Tho Phos
phate of Lime in it is better than that ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by tho
roots of plants more readily.

Dear Sir : Yours of the 26th at hand. In
regal’d to vour inquiries about Guano, I do
not think I. gave BUSEY S GUANO a tau
trial. I put half as much of it to the acre
as I did of Cotton Food, the results were
about the same. 1 thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.

Sir: I have been my c^nkraa wn 6 ”
gard to BUSEY’S 44 EXCELSIOR GUANO,
and in reply will say I used it on iny last
year's crop of cotton, with other standai and
Fertilizers, but I never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. lam satisfied it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.

Dear Sir : In reply to
to the effect of your “EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, 1 state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres of
poor worn-out land. The result was four
teen (14) bales of cotton, averaging 410
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.
Very respectfully,
M. A. RANSOM.
Barnett, Ga., January 28, 1875.
Dear Sir: I used 700 pounds of your
Guano on fifteen acres of land, which made
8 bales of cotton, weighing 466 pounds. I
consider it a first-class Guano.

I was very much pleased with the Guano
bought of Daniel & Rowland — BUSEY S

this year if I can get it.

last year. I have used several other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any I have ever tried. VYL&R

This is to certify that I have use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO for sev
eral vears past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any, it not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos

Dear Sir: Yours to hand asking ray tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872. and I thought it was the best I
ever used in my life, making the best yield
I had ever roceived from any fertilizer. I
used last year ono ton, and while it did
well, not so well as before; but it was
owing to seasons. If it is kept to its origi
nal standard, I think it one of if not tho
best I have ever found for mv land
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.

TV. G. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sir : Your favor requesting the re
suit of your Guano on my cotton crop JJtst
season is at hand. I mado no test with
other commercial manures last season, but
tested it with two different brands two
years ago, and tho result was greatly in
favor of your Guano, aud I was equally as
well pleased with it last season, and judg
ing from test rows that it enhanced the
value of this crop considerably. The exces
sively hot weather in August proved fatal
in this vicinity. To those wishing to use
Guano, I feel no delicacy in commending it
as a first-class Fertilizer, to be excelled by
none. Respectfully, _
