FERTILIZERS AND FERTILIZING MATERIALS 



FERTILIZERS— Continued. 



MAPES' COMPLETE MANURES 



CHOICEST FORMS PLANT FOOD KNOWN, 

 NO SOUTH CAROLINA ROCK USED. 

 BASIS BONE, PERUVIAN GUANO, BLOOD, NITRATE AND CARBONATE OF POTASH. 



I am onw offering for sale the Mapes Manures, which strictly high-grade goods represent the highest standard and 

 choicest forms of plant food known. 1 he merits of these fertilizers has gained the most enviable reputation for im- 

 provement of quality in crops, as well as quantity of yield, and the best recommendation is the fact that the oldest 

 customers are the best. It will be found that these Manures are especially adapted to fruit and truck crops. 



I have no hesitancy in recommending to my friends that they will this year give these goods a trial, and be 

 sure to send for a special descriptive pamphlet, if not already supplied with one. 



Mapes' Vegetable Manure 



or Complete Manure for Light Soil 



SUPERIOR TO PERUVIAN GUANO FOR QUICK RESULTS AND LASTING BENEFITS. 



Analysis: Ammonia, 6 to 8 per cerLi ; phosphoric acid, available, 6 to 8 per cent; soluble potash, 6 to 8 per 

 cent'.; all as high-grade sulphate and in forms free from muriates (or chlorides). 



A strictly high-grade fertilizer, especially adapted for use by truck growers and on all classes of soil, with or 

 without stable manure, for vegetables, insurmg quick growth, tenderness, productiveness, fine flavor, nutritious quality 

 and early maturity — one to two weeks earlier than by usual methods. It is especially recommended for and is largely 

 used by our leading truckers upon the following crops: Radishes, lettuce, beets, onions, peas, snap beans, tomatoes, 

 cucumbers, pepper, spinach, early and late cabbage, eggplant, early turnips, melons, squashes and asparagus beds, 



This fertilizer is also, from the nature of its analysis ;md constituents, a complete manure for light soils, and on 

 this class of soils it will give the most excellent results on all farm crops, including corn, grass and grain crops. Bag 

 of 100 lbs., $2.50; bag of 200 lbs., $4.75; ton, $45.00. 



Mapes' Economical Potato Manure 



SUPERIOR TO STABLE MANURE FOR POTATOES. 



Analysis: Ammonia. 4 to 5 per cent; phosphoric acid, 6 to 8 per cent (soluble and available, 4 to 5 per cent); 

 soluble potash (actual), 8 to 10 per cent (Potash in the form of high-grade sulphate and free from muriates and 

 chlorides.) 



This is far superior to stable manure for this crop. Produces better and smoother potatoes, and makes a much 

 larger yield. It is especially prepared and recommended for both Irish and sweet potatoes, and also gives excellent 

 results on asparagus, beets and other root crops, and is also well adapted and gives the most satisfactory results on 

 strawberries, raspberries and all small fruits. Use 300 to 400 pounds per acre in drill for Irish potatoes, or 500 to 

 1,000 pounds broadcast; for sweet potatoes, 200 to 300 pounds per acre in drill. Bag of 100 lbs., $2.25; bag of 200 

 lbs., $4.25 ; ton, $40.00. 



Schultz's Lawn Enricher 



A splendid fertilizer to keep lawns vigorous and in a green, growing condition all through the year. One of the 

 principal drawbacks in obtaining and keeping satisfactory lawns is in the fact that nu-triment gets exhausted from the 

 surface soil, thus impoverishing the roots of the grass and causing it to die. An application of Lawn enricher in the 

 spring and fall will help the grass wonderfully. It is also a good plan to apply it during rainy spells in the surnmer. 

 The Lawn Enricher is practically odorless and composed of fertilizing ingredients which, from practical experience, 

 have given the very best results, not only to invigorate the lawn, but to conserve the moisture in the soil, so as to 

 make the grass stand hot. dry weather better. The Lawn Enricher is a complete lawn and grass fertilizer, and the best 

 that can be used, both for top dressing and when putting down new lawns. 



Directions for Using. — In applying this fertilizer, scatter as evenly as possible over the surface. It can be 

 applied to lawns at any time except during droughts, but the best results can be obtained by using it jluring the 

 months of September and October and the early spring. For making new lawns it should be applied at the rate of 

 25 pounds for 1,200 square feet, or at the rate of 800 pounds per acre. As a top dressing for old lawns, use from 400 

 to 500 pounds per acre; or for small yards, 6 pounds to each 300 square feet. Price: 5-lb. pkg., 25c.; lo-lb. pkg., 40c.; 

 25-lb. bag, 90C. ; loo-lb. bag, $3.00; ton, $48.00. 



Fertilizing Materials 



I call special attention to the fact that I keep on hand and am prepared to furnish at all 

 times every kind of material used in the manufacture of fertilizers, such as — 



NITRATE OF SODA. — A fertilizer for all crops. It is very quick in action, and hastens maturity of crops fully 

 two weeks. Being extremely soluble, it should not be applied until the plants are above ground, when 100 to 20(» 

 pounds per acre should be sown, mixed with wood ashes or land plaster. Nitrate of Soda does not exhaust the land. 



MURIATE OF POTASH. — 80 per cent pure; equivalent to 48 to 50 per cent actual Potash. A high-grade 

 fertilizer, and one of the best orchard fertilizers known; used largely in Peach cultivation and as a general fertilizer. 

 Muriate of Potash and Ground Bone stands as a leader. 



KAINIT. — (German Potash Salt.) — Analysis: 12 per cent actual potash. One of the most useful ingredients 

 for making "Commercial" fertilizers. For using alone, apply at the rate of 1,000 pounds per acre. 



SULPHATE OF POTASH.— A desirable form of potash to be used on all crops, but especially tobacco, potatoes, 

 sugar beets, cabbage or cauliflower. Cse 50 to 400 pounds per acre. 



HIGH-GRADE ACID PHOSPHATE.--(South Carolina Rock).— We advise the use of bone fertilizers, but there 

 are a great many farmers who use Acid Phosphate for gr.iin and get good results. Analysis: Available Phosphoric 

 Acid, 14 per cent. 



LAND PLASTER. — Excellent for composting, fertilizing or mixing with guano. 



GROUND ANIMAL TANKAGE.— Contains about 8 rxer cent of ammonia, and will be found a useful and 

 important ingredient for making a complete fertilizer for all crops.
