Fertilizers and Fertilizing Materials 



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 now offeriuR- for sale the Mapes Manures, wbicli strictly high-grade goods represent the high- 

 est standard and choicest forms of plant food known. The merits of these fertilizers has gained the 

 most enviable reputation for improvement 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 Man- 

 ures 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 Soils 



SUPERIOR TO PERUVIAN GUANO FOR QUICK RESULTS AND LASTING BENEFITS 

 Analysis: Ammonia, 6 to 8 per cent; 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 strictlv high-grade fertilizer, especially adapted for use by truck growers and on all classes of 

 soil, with or without stable manure, for vegetables, insuring 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 and 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 specially 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. 



5chultz'5 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 nutriment 

 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 summer. 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 during the months of September and October and the early spring. For making new lawns 

 it should be applied at the late 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 40O to 500 pounds per acre, or for small yards, 6 pounds to each 

 300 square feet. Price: 5-lb. pkg., 25g. ; 10-lb. pkg., 40c.; 25-lb. bag, 90c.; 100-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 — 



:VITRATE 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 200 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. 



SUIjPHATE of potash. — A desirable form of potash to be used on all crops,' but especially 

 tobacco, potatoes, sugar beets, cabbage or cauliflower. L"se 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 grain and get good results. Analysis: 

 Available Phosphoric Acid. 14 per cent. 



JLAIVD PILASTER. — Excellent for composting, fertilizing or mixing with guano. 



GROUlVD AlVIMAL, TANKAGE. — Contains about 8 per cent of ammonia, and will be found a useful 

 and important ingredient for making a complete fertilizer for all crops.
