Mapes’s Tobacco Manure 
(Conn. 
Brand.) 
Ammonia, 5.75 per cent; Phosphoric Acid, 7.75; 
. _ , plioric Acid, 7.75; Potash, actual, all in the form of the highest grade Sulphate of Potash. 
7.75, equal to 14.33 Sulphate of Potasli; Lime, Soda, Magnesia, Sulphuric Acid, etc., 78.75. 
Price per ton, 2,000 lbs. (bags 200 lbs.) $52.00. 
This is a Complete Manure for Tobacco, and lias been repeatedly used alone witli the best results. If used in connection 
with stable manure, reduce the usual quantity one-half. 
Directions for use.— Apply broadcast, harrowing in; if used near the plants let it be well distributed and mixed with 
the soil. 
Can grow with it a leaf of superio . quality at 
TOBACCO. 
Have used the Mapes Complete Manure for Tobacco for two years. 
less than one-half the cost of stable manure. ' 
Report of G. II. dc J. II. Hale, Nurserymen and Groioers of Strawberry Plants : 
_ _ , South Glastonbury, Conn.. Dec. 1st, 1879 
Crop —Tobacco, put in June 21st. Soil— A sandy loam. Season— not favorable to a perfect crop of tobacco. Applied 
L^jiXMbs.^peracre of the Mapes Complete Manure for " ’- --- ' ’ .. 
- -rf---,-.-for tobacco, used alone, broadcasted,and worked in with awheel harrow. 
Yield, 1,800 lbs. per acre. Quality, the best witli one exception of any crop we have liad for the past 15 years, having a very 
fine silky texture and of the ricli brown color, now so much In demand by dealers and manufacturers. 
Remarks. —Having used the Mapes Complete Tobacco Manure for the past two seasons, we are fully convinced that It is 
for our interest to use it in future instead of stable manure, as we can grow with it a leaf of superior quality at less Ilian 
one-half the cost, to say nothing of the time saved in the application of the Mapes Complete Manures. 
From $128.60 invested in your Tobacco Manure (Conn. Brand), we produced a crop, which at the price we have sold it 
for, although it at this date is not all stripped out, yet, estimating the balance to weigh in the same proportion as that al¬ 
ready stripped, will bring us a little over $1,000. 
TOBACCO. 
Report of John W. Doten. South Windsor, Hartford Co., Conn., Dec., 1879. 
U9ed 2,000 lbs. of your Tobacco Manure (Conn. Brand), on sandy loam—applied the fertilizer broadcast and harrowed in. 
tobacco planted June 15tli. Used 1,600 lbs. per acre of the fertilizer. It proved to be the best fertilizer for tobacco I 
ever used. My tobacco commenced growing before I left the lot, after I set it and never stopped until L 'cut it, August 
15th. I think the crop was the best 1 ever raised.
