THE MAPES POTATO MANURE, 
The skies are dark, and all day long 
The rain drips from the eaves; 
And plgeon-holed’s the poet’s song 
Of the gold and crimson leaves.

THE RAPES FRUIT AND VUVE MANURE. 
For Grapes for Market and Wine; Currants, Strawberries and all 
Small Fruits, Peach, Apple and Pear Orchards. 
Vineyards that have received nothing but the Mapes Fruit and Vine Manure 
since setting out over 10 years ago, have proved to be the healthiest , and to produce 
FRUIT EARLIER in maturity, FINER FLAVORED and FINER COLORED, and 
to yield more largely than where stable manure was used. 
The Mapes Manures have been used many years and almost exclusively by the 
growers on the North River, whose methods are being described in The Rural 
New-Yorker, under the title “ Fertilizers and Fruit.” 
Over 3,000 tons of the Mapes Fruit Manures were sold in the first six months 
of this year, 1893. Address
