FRUIT GROWERS AND NURSERYMEN 

 MAPES MANURES. 



Small Fruit, Strawberries, Nursery Stock, Etc. 



Four years' experience. The Mapes Fruit and Vine Manure cheaper and better than 

 Stable Manure at One Dollar a Two-horse Load, delivered. 



J. T. LOVETT, Nurseryman, Little Silver, X. J., January 22, 1S83, writes : 



" It affords me pleasure to again report good results from the use of the Mapes Manures. After using your 'Fruit and Vine Manure, on a 

 somewhat extended scale, for the past four years, I can scarcely commend it too highly. Besides heing susceptible of cheap and quick application, I 

 get better returns from the money expended for it than from the best stable-manure delivered at the nursery at a dollar per large two-horse wagon 

 load. I could also speak of its lasting properties, but space will not permit." 

 PINNEY BROS., North Carver, Plymouth Co., Mass., December, 1882, write: 



" Used the Mapes Complete Manure on Strawberries, new beds. Season was very dry, but the vines grew very well; applied one quart to a 

 rod of row three feet wide." 



G. H. & J. H. HALE, Nurserymen, South Glastonbury, Conn., December, 1882, report : 

 " We buy all our Special Fruit Manures of The Mapes Company." 



CORN, POTATOES AND CRASS "TOP-DRESSED. 



»> 



Heavy crop notwithstanding the severe drouth. — The Mapes Potato Manure compared with hen-manure in producing 

 large, smooth, clean potatoes. 



Effects of the Mapes Grass Top-Dressing on an old meadow where the grass was all run out. 

 S. D. NEWELL, Bristol, Conn., Dec. 11, 1882, writes: 



I did not husk my corn this year, but cut it cornstalks and all together ; it costs me more to get my corn into meal after it is raised than it does 

 to raise it. I applied four bags of your Corn Manure to the acre and drilled in about one bag of the Fertilizer with the seed. Notwithstanding the 

 severe drouth, it was estimated to yield 100 bushels of ears to the acre. For potatoes I put a light coat of yard manure, and a smallish handful of 

 Mapes Potato Fertilizer to the hill; potatoes very large and smooth, except a few rows where I used hen-manure in place of Mapes; there the 

 potatoes were smaller and scabby. On part of a meadow I used two bags to the acre of Mapes Top-Dressing, the grass was very thick and heavy, 

 estimated to cut two tons per acre. This was on an old meadow, where the grass was all run out; probably would not have cut more than 500 

 pounds per acre. 



Truck matured TWO TO THREE WEEKS EARLIER, last season, grown with these manures.
