The Mapes Manures. 
The choice quality of the materials used, the basis of which is pure bone, the other 
materials added being all of the highest grade, and best suown forms of plant food, such as Sul- 
phate of Ammonia, Nitrate of Soaa, Peruvian Guano, ground dried pure blood, Soluble High 
Grade Potash, Magnesia, etc., all intimately blended together in the proper proportions and in 
the forms best adapted to meet the demands of the crops for which they are recommended, 
render these manures very valuable. We emphatically state that we use no S. C. Rock or 
Phosphate of Iron or Alumina ; no Rock, Horn, Heather, Marl, or any other inferior ingredients. 
All the materials used are of the very choicest quality and of high concentration. 
i'hese Manures do not deteriorate by keeping. All the Ammonia is ■ ‘ fixed, ” and safe from 
evaporation ; even when used as a top-dressing the waste is very slight. 
Each bag {200 lbs.) is plainly branded, besides having a tag upon which are printed full 
directions for use, and also guaranteed analysis. These manures are in a fine, dry condition 
for use. They are free from stickiness and dampness.
