EARLY CABBAGES (JERSEY WAKEFIELD) AND GRAPES. 

 Cabbage very fine — sold out the crop before the glut came in. 



ALFRED BROWN, Richmond, Henrico Co., Va., November 13, 1882, reports: 



The ground on which r had early cabhajre (Jersey Wakefield i had been manured 

 the summer before with from 1.200 to 1,500 lbs. Mapes Cabbage Manure to the 

 acre, for late cabbage, but the cabbage worms had entirely destroyed them before 

 heading, so all tin- fertilizer remained in the -round. The Msipcs « 'oinph'te Manure 

 for light soil, 1,000 lbs. to the acre. I applied at first hoeing (the time of planting 

 was from Feb. 20th to March 1st). The cabbages were vet y fine, and were as early 

 as any about here. 1 had sold out my crop before the glut came in. My soil is stiff 

 and cold. I attribute the excellence of the crop partly to the Cabbage Manure 

 already in the ground. My grapes were a light crop, about two-thirds, it being the 

 off year; but the grapes were very good considering the season was backward and 

 cold. I applied 400 lbs. Fruit and Vine Manure to the acre. I am well satisfied 

 with all the Mapes Manures I have used, the results being goml. and shall continue 



ling purposes only. On 

 two thousand plants in 

 used in connection with

 writes: 



Made no comparisons except with Peruvian (iuano i guaranteed) on early cab- 

 bage. Used 1.600 lbs. to the acre each of (iuano and the Mapes Cabbage and 

 Cauliflower Manure, and could see no difference in crop : but, considering the dif- 

 ference in the price of the Fertilizers, the result was very much in favor of the 

 Mapes. The season was very dry, and the cabbage crop was almost an entire 

 failure in this section ; but I had a very good crop, every plant headed. Used the
