THE  MAPES  MANURES 
PREPARED  SPECIALLY  FOR 
Potatoes,  Celery,  Onions,  Cabbages,  Cauliflowers,  Tobacco,  Truck, 
Corn  (Ensilage),  Tomatoes,  Mangolds,  Rhubarb,  Top- 
Dressing  Pastures,  Mowing  Lands,  Lawns. 
Quality  and  Yield  Superior  with  these  Manures  than  with  Stable  Manures,  and  at  Much  Less  Cost. 
From  the  Official  Report  of  the 
American  Agriculturist,  Dec.  IHSKI. 
“847 %  bushels  of 
Potatoes  with  half  ton 
of  THE  MAPES  PO¬ 
TATO  MANURE  on 
one  measured  acre.’’ 
“The  largest  crop  ever 
grown  with  fertilizers 
or  manure.” 
The  Grower  of  the  Crop, 
847%  Bushels,  It.  A.  CHIS¬ 
HOLM.  says:  “I  am  satisfied 
that  I  can  raise  1,000  bushels 
on  this  same  acre  with  a  ton  of 
the  Mapes  Potato  Manure.” 
“  The  highest  yield  obtained 
with  barnyard  manure  in  this 
section  was  492  bushels, 
being  the  Sixth  Prize  Crop 
in  Contest  1889.” 
The  American  Agricultur¬ 
ist,  in  commenting  pn  the 
Crop  Contest  in  December, 
1890,  writes: 
“  In  the  two  seasons  we 
have  here  singular  proof  of 
the  fact  that  a  few  pounds 
of  plant  food  in  the  Right 
Forms,  so  as  to  become 
available  at  the  right  times, 
have  almost  doubled  the 
crop  from  what  it  was  on 
the  stable  manure.” 
“  Apparently  it  is  not  so 
much  the  QUANTITY  but 
the  FORM  in  which  the 
plant  food  is  furnished  that 
governs  the  yield,  provided 
a  reasonable  amount  is 
supplied.” 
The  Crop  (745  Bushels),  also  Crown  with  Mapes  Potato  Manure,  is  “The  Second 
Largest  Crop”  ever  Crown  with  Fertilizers  or  Manure, 
and  is  the  Largest  ever  Crown  in  Maine. 
The  official  analyses  and  reports  of  the  State  Agricultural  Stations  of  Massachusetts,  Connecticut,  New  Jersey, 
Pennsylvania  and  other  States  for  the  last  year,  1891,  show  the  HIGH  STANDARD  OF  THE  MAPES  MANURES 
TO  BE  FULLY  MAINTAINED.  . 
The  Official  Annual  Report  to  January  1,  1892,  of  the  Pennsylvania  State  Board  of  Agriculture,  containing  all  the 
analyses  of  “Complete  Manures,”  analyzed  during  th§  past  year  in  Pennsylvania,  show  THE  MAPES  POTATO 
MANURE  to  be  the  HIGHEST  GRADE  of  all  the  Potato  Manures,  and  to  have  a  “comparative  commercial  value ”  of 
from  TEN  TO  OVER  TWENTY  DOLLARS  PER  TON  HIGHER  than  found  in  ELEVEN  of  the  FOURTEEN  other 
brands  of  Potato  Manures  analyzed. 
Arrangements  have  been  perfected  whereby  users  of  fertilizers,  even  in  sections  where  the  MAPES  MANURES 
are  not  for  sale  by  local  dealers,  can  procure  these  manures  in  ANY  QUANTITY  (one  bag  and  upwards)  at 
reasonable  rates.
