8END FOR PAMPHIiETS. NO CHARGE. 
For Truckers and Potato Growers. 
THE HAPES VECJETABEE MANURE, 
For Celery, Onions and Early Truck. 
THE MAPES POTATO MANURE. 
THE inAPE^ CABBAGE MANURE. 
Some of the largest truckers are using 150 tons and upwards a season of the Mapes Manure for Potatoes, Cabbages, 
Early Truck, Spinach, Lettuce, Celery, Onions, etc. 
Some of these now use no stable manure beyond the supply from the few horses they keep, although formerly they were 
heavy purchasers until convinced after an experience of eight or ten years of the greater economy and efficiency of the 
Mapes Manure. They claim the great advantages of EARLIER MATURITY and SUPERIOR QUALITY OF PRODUCT. 
For Fruit Growers. 
THE MAPES FRUIT AND VINE 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 have been 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 the year 1893. Address 
The Mapes Formula and Peruvian Guano Company, 143 Liberty St., New York.

Reggie : “ I changed my mind. I sup¬

Mbs. Younqluv (at the grocer’s for the

Grocer: “Yes, ma’am.” Mrs. Young-

She: “When you speak to papa, and 
ask his consent, he is sure to demand 
what your prospects are.” He: “How 
can I tell him what my prospects |,r3 
unless he shows his hand first ? ”— Life. 
“ Do you have any malaria here, Uncle 
Hodge ?” asked the visitor of the farmer. 
“Oh, my, yes,” said Hodge. “ In summer 
it trails all over the verandy, an’ I tell 
ye it’s purty when them blue blossoms 
comes out onto it.”— Harver's Bazar. 
It had been over four months since 
they were engaged, and as they read the 
evening paper together, he said: “See, 
my dear, only $20 for a suit I ” “ Is it a 
wedding suit ?” she asked sweetly. “ No, 
a business suit.” “ Well, I meant busi¬ 
ness,” she answered.— Life.
