PRATT, Chemist for the Sul? phuric Acid and Super-Phosphate Company. . $ Soluble Phosphoric Acid, in the form of Soluble Phosphate of Lime, or Dissolved Bone Phosphate, is the basis of all good Fertilizers, and these .are valuable in the ratio of Soluble Phosphoric Acid which is in them. The immense deposits of Phosphatic Guanos which were discovered in 1867 in South Carolins, by Dr. Pratt, consists mainly of Insoluble Phosphate of Lime, which is made available as a Fer? tilizer by being ground to powder, and reduced by Sulphuric Acid to such a condition as-to make its insoluble phosphate soluble ia water, and thus made capable of being taken up by growing plants. The insoluble Phosphate found in any commercial Fertilizer is of no more value to the- plant tbaa the original Phosphate rock. The greater the proportion of this Soluble Phosphate which any Fertilizer contains, the less the quantity required pen acre, <md consequently the cheapest Fertilizer is :hat containing the highest per centage of Soluble Phosphate. Impressed with these truths, the Sulphuric Acid and Super-Phosphate Company have erected at Charleston the first extensive Acid Chambers South of Baltimore, and are able to offer to plan? ters the highest per centage of Soluble Phosphate of Lime known in any market. Their Fertilizers are offered under two forms : 1. ETIWAN, NO. 1.?Pure Soluble Phosphate, guaranteed to contain 21.per cent, of Dissolved Bone Phosphate of Lime, S60 per ton, 10 per cent, discount for cash. 2. ETIWAN, NO. 2.?Peruvian Superphosphate, guaranteed to contain 20 per cent, of Dissolved Bone Phosphate, and l.V to 3 per cent of Ammonia, with a sufficient addition of Peruvian Guano* to adapt it to all crops, S70 per ton, 10 per cent, discount for cash. We also offer Dissolved Bone, of high grade, for planters or manufacturers, wfro-nray desire to mix into any other compost, and we suggest that this is the best and cheapest method for manufac? turers to transport the Sulphurio Acid contained in the mixture. Will be sold at a fixed 'rate for each per centage. " ; WM. C. BEE Sc CO., Agents, No. 14 A.dg"ez''s Wharf,. Charleston, S. CV 13. F. Crayton Sc Sons, Agents at Anderson.
