POTATOES. E 8. BROWNELL, Essex Junction, vr., the well-known originator of “BrownelL’s 
Beamy,” “Centennial,” ‘ Prldeof America,” and other celebrated seedlings, wrote to B. K. Bliss 
& Hons, New York, Sept. 27th. 1880 1 “ I bought of you last Spring some of Mapes’ Potato Manure, 
which excelled tmy fertiliser that, I ever used In pnulnctnff smooth arid hu ge tubers. I got one- 
tidl'd mure cro/j i nan was produced alongside when it was not used. The potatoes that I send you 
ror exhibition, Nos, so, 61, 52. 53, 64. 55, 5fl, or “ White star,” snow the effects of Mapes' Potato 
Manure. I expect to use It more extensively another season.” These potatoes, as well as the 
'•Prldeof America,” grown with the Mapca’Potato Manure, enlisted the verdict at the several 
fairs as being the smoothest and finest quality potatoes offered.

VALUATION OF THE MACES COMPLETE MAN CUE “A” Braiul, bv the New Jersey 
.State Agricultural station—Bulletin, July 3rd, 1SSO, shows this manure to be the cheapest 
of at l the twenty-jive. fertilizers examined. 
The Mew Vork Times, July 21 , issi). states; 
" The value of a purchased, fertilizer Is an unknown quantity to the purchaser, who must depend 
solely on i he honesty and honor, or at least the skill, of the manufacturers or sellers. The anal* ses 
of fertilizers given elsewhere, and with which wc have been favored by Prof. Cook, of the New 
Jersey Experiment station, show the risk which apperialns to the purchase of these materials. 
Of 25 samples examined, only 4 exceeded In Intrinsic value the cos price while many of them ex¬ 
ceeded very considerably In cost price their Intrinsic value. Of the four, a com pletions example Is 
No. 13 (The Mapes complete Manure) which is made, as a substitute for barn-yard manure., watch 
shows the highest ratio of Intrinsic value abive. the cost price. The experiment stations are dolog 
valuable service for farmers tn thus examining fertilizers sent to them, and pointing bur, the actual 
value or 1 hpse compounded manures.”
