“EXCELSIOR
GUANO,”
COMPOSED OF
Dissolved Bones, 1,300 lbs.
Peruvian Guano, 600 “
Muriate of Soda, 100 “
{Patented.)
I CL AIM for the above Fertilizer that it is
richer in the elements valuable to
the 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,Dr.Liebig,
of Baltimore; Prof. Shkpakd, Inspector of
Fertilizers for the State of Mouth Carolina;
also to Col. Rains, Inspector at Augusta.
I 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. FIN ER,
LIGHTER, AND CONTAINS LESS MOIS
TURE. It contains more ORGANIC MAT
TER, being made of Bones and Guano,
and not of Rock Phosphate. The Phos
phate of Lime in it is better than that ob
tained from rocks, and is taken up by the
roots of plants more readily.

IV. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. G:
Dear Sir : Yours of the 26th at hand. In
regard to your inquiries about Guano, I do
not think 1 gave BUSEVS GUAMO a fair
trial. I put half as much of it to the acre
as I did of Cotton Food, the results were
about the same, i thought it stronger than
the Cotton Food and put less.
Respectfully ATH AN M. MILLER,

W. G. Busey, Aiken, 8. C-: . .
Sir • I have been asked my opinion in re
gards BUSEY’S “EXCELSIOR GUANO,’’
and in reply will fay I used it on my last
year’s crop of cotton, with other standard
Fertilizers, but I never found any of them
equal to the BUSEY’S. lam sat shed it is a
No. 1 article, and expect to give it the
preference the present year.
Respectfully, „ E BARK sDALR

Dear Sir: Yours just received. I pur
chased from Daniel & Rowland, last Spring,
two tons BUSEY’S and am well pleased
with the results. On nineteen acres of thin
sandy land I made nine bales of cotton.
Land measured and cotton sold to Daniel

TV. G. Busey, Esq., Aiken, 8. C-
Dear Sir : In reply to
to the effect of your EXCELSIOR
GUANO ” last season, I state that I used
about 150 pounds per acre, on 25 acres of
poor worn-out land. The result was four
teen (14) balds of cotton, averaging 415
pounds each. I consider it in every re
spect, a first-class Fertilizer.
VeryreepecttuUW^.
Barnett, Ga., January 28,1875.
Dear Sib: 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.
Respectfully, J* H. WALKER.
Warrenton, Ga., January 28,1875.
Mr. TV. G. Busey.
I was very much pleased with Guano
bought of Daniel & Rowland—“ BUSEY S
EXCELSIOR,” and expect to use it agam
this year if I can get it.
Very TH& > aS l L: WHEELER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
Dear Sib : I used one ton of your Guano
last year. I have used several other kinds
of Guano, but think yours did better than
any I have ever tried. Rejspecuuu^
Bassett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
This is to certify that I nave use
“BUSEY’S EXCELSIOR” GUANO for sev
eral years past, and from actual test with
fifteen different kinds, I do not hesitate to
pronounce it fully equal to any, if not the
very best, of all the manipulated Guanos
used by myself since th ™'PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga., January 30, 1875.
Dear Sir : 1 used your Guano last year,
and liked it as well as any 1 have ever used;
think it a first-class Guano.

Dear Sib: I consider your “EXCEL
SIOR GUANO ” a most excellent manure.

TV. G. Busey, Ksq.
Dear Sib: Yours to hand asking my tes
timonial of your Guano. I used it in the
year 1872, and I thought it was the best I
ever useu in my life, making the best yield
I had over received from any Fertilizer. I
used last year one 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 the
best l have ever found for my land.
Respectfully, T. J. PILCHER.
Barnett, Ga., January 27, 1875.
TV. G. Busey, Esq.
Dear Sir : Your favor requesting the re
sult of your Guano on my cotton crop last
season is at hand. I made no test with
other commercial manures last season, but
to-ted it with two different brands two
years ago, and the result was greatly in
favor of your Guano, and I was equally as
well pleased with it last season, and judg
ing from test rows,Unit 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,
THOMAS ALLEN.
Thomson, Ga., January 20,1875.

Bear Sir : The Busey’s Guano stood at
the top of the list, as to good results, of all
the Guanos I used. Yours, Ac.
