The Mapes Corn Manure excels all the leading competitors in the reports 
of the Connecticut State Agricultural Experiment Station for 1894 and 1895. 
It is well known to all readers of The Rural that the phosphoric acid in a 
mixed fertilizer, the insoluble as well as the soluble and available, is valued 
by the same schedule of values, whether the same be derived from rock or 
from bone and Peruvian guano, as the chemist cannot detect the difference 
when in a mixed fertilizer. In the Mapes Fertilizers all the phosphoric acid 
acid and potash, and all in the choicest 5 j s f r0 m bone and Peruvian guano, and gets the benefit of NO higher vai.ua- 
than 10 bae-s 1200 nounds each) 5 tion than if it were from rock, yet the phosphoric acid in BONE and FJJBUVLAS 
guano, particularly the insoluble, is worth both commercially and agn- 
culturallv several times as much.

on Mammoth eight-rowed cam, 80 days from planting.—“We forward you to-day by express a cut ol 
field corn grown upon the Mapes Fertilizers purchased from you. Now, as to the facts : the field 
of corn from which our cut was made which appears on the first page of cover of our catalogue, 
was fertilized with but 500 pounds of your Corn Manure drilled in broadcast, and if you will 
turn to page 19 of our catalogue, you will find the results of the fertilizer on entire crop running 
from 140 to 160 bushels per acre. These ears are the longest and handsomest-shaped ears evei 
produced by any firm. Mr. Blanc, when he took the ears in charge to make the cut said they 
were the finest ears that had ever been sent to him by any seed firm, and when the writer showed 
them to the seed firms in Philadelphia, such men as Maule, Landreth and others, said that they 
were the handsomest ears they had ever seen : certainly a good report on the results of the
