"Normanby Patent Slag Manure"
. . . . by Helen Bynum   sent 10th April 2019  

I found an advert in the "Gardener’s Chronicle" May 22, 1897 which refers to 50 pounds in prizes for the best 12 potatoes or 6 turnips grown using Normanby patent slag manure, applicants to apply to the Normanby Iron-works co. Middlesbrough exhibits for the Stokesley Show.
   Does anyone in your group have any information on the patent manure?
   Thanks for any help, Helen Bynum (near Beccles, Suffolk)

[WebMaster (12 April 2019):
