The Chesapeake Griiano Co
BALTIMORE, MD.,
Offers for sale its well known brands of fertilizers,
Chesapeake Guano,
Chesapeake Ammoniated Alkaline.
These brands have been thoroughly tested by tho best farmers in the coantry
and the estimation in wldch they are held is shown by the fact that our sales
for the past season in Georgia reached tho enormous figures ot eight thousand
Ions, an increase of nearly soventy-fivo per cent, on last year, which is a proof
that tho farmers of Georgia appreciate a genuine article liko tho Cuksapeak*.
Wo can asauro onr friends that tho Guanos offered by us this season
are fully up to their former standard, and that in dealing with us they will get
fair value for their money.
