have furmstud plam-food In a somewuat more concentrated form than other Super-phosphates, and at a

THE HIGHEST GRADE AND CHEAPEST MADE, 
EXCELLING ALL OTHER BRANDS IN STRENGTH AND IN SUPPLYING 
THE BEST FORMS OF PLANT FOOD AT THE LEAST COST . 
The “Comparison of Special Crop Manures of the same brand" (see pages 52 and 53 of 
the Official Report) from 1877 to date, show — 
While the Mapes Special Crop Manures were fully up to published standard in 1878, 
and were then the highest grade Manures made, that they have steadily, without an ex¬ 
ception. improved in strength each year. . «■ 
A careful study of this Official Report unit show that the claims made for the. Mapes Man¬ 
ures can be instill made by no other mannfactuiers . ... .,

MANURE. 
There is no Fertilizer that can 
completely take the place of 
Stable Manure, but the Stock- 
bridge Manures, being the 
richest made, more nearly do so 
than any fertilizer offered in the 
market. They contain all the 
elements required, aud in the 
right form to produce the surest 
and largest results. One load 
will go over from 8 to T> acres, 
or as fur as 30 or *30 loads of 
stable manure. They not ouly 
give crops an early start, but 
back them up throughout the 
season.
